"The helper Jiang Liluo found this time is really powerful. As a ghost, he is not even afraid of talismans."
The brief conversation surfaced in Jin Banwei's mind, and she finally remembered that she had heard the name Jiang Liluo from Bai Cheng. Bai Cheng was so hostile because he mistook them for Jiang Liluo's people.
What Bai Cheng meant at that time was that Jiang Liluo had been dealing with her.
And then there were her eyes; it was unlikely that those hands were just an illusion.
The strange makeup on Jiang Liluo's face makes her look like a witch, and although Bai Cheng has a civet cat protecting him, he is obviously an ordinary person. Why would a witch target Bai Cheng, an ordinary person?
Things were becoming complicated, but she didn't have much time to think about it now.
Jin Banwei and Guan Jiyue have already entered the formation.
Although it is the same formation, the danger levels behind the eight doors are different. The formation is supported by the power of the gatekeeper, so how many ghosts can be suppressed behind the door depends on how strong the gatekeeper is. The stronger the gatekeeper, the more ghosts there will be behind the door.
The evil spirits of the underworld were not cowards, and they immediately chose the two gates guarded by the most powerful Niu Tou and Yin Miao. The disciples of the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect naturally chose Li Guichu, and Jianzhaoan also chose Huiyin. Among the remaining gatekeepers, Ren Qiao might be the strongest.
Jin Banwei could only try her best not to fall behind.
The first thing you see is a bamboo forest. There are no green leaves on the bamboo branches, but red beads hanging on them. The beads are crystal clear and look like bright gems. It is pleasing to the eye. The bamboo branches have become a display stand for the gems. There is a faint fragrance in the air.
It's hard to describe the smell, but it smells particularly good.
The bamboo forest was swaying gently, and the vast expanse of green almost covered Jin Banwei's eyes.
The breeze blew through the bamboo leaves, making a rustling sound. Jin Banwei looked up suddenly and the red beads on the bamboo branches disappeared, replaced by emerald green bamboo leaves. The fresh bamboo leaves were lush green and the scent that could be smelled at the tip of her nose gradually became clearer. It was the fragrance of bamboo leaves.
The sound of a piano rang in my ears, and the plucked strings played a gentle melody.
Is this really a small hell filled with evil spirits?
But it really looks like a paradise, with gentle breeze, green bamboo, and faint music. It is full of a peaceful and gentle atmosphere.
Jin Banwei could feel the breath becoming more and more gentle, but the breath in her body gradually became chaotic, her heart became restless, and the hot air from her nose seemed to be able to melt her flesh and blood.
Something is wrong!
Jin Banwei suddenly woke up. She quickly took out a Qingxin Talisman and stuck it on her chest. The scene in front of her eyes changed again. There were no green bamboo leaves anywhere. There were only red beads hanging on the withered bamboo branches.
The beads were no longer crystal clear, but were filled with turbid blood. Black dots were dancing in the beads, as if they were still alive.
There was no gentle breeze at all. There was only the cold wind that kept blowing up the yellow earth and dead branches, blurring Jin Banwei's vision. The temperature of the wind was extremely low, and Jin Banwei's skin gradually became covered with goose bumps from the cold. She rubbed her arms.
The fragrance of the bamboo was gone, and the wind was mixed with the smell of blood and decay.
There was no sound of piano in her ears, only the blowing of the cold wind and the sinister and low roar. How could Jin Banwei not understand what had just happened?
She had felt the same way when she first came to this world, being bewitched by a ghost. The familiar feeling was still the same as before.
The only difference is that she didn't have the ability to break free at that time, but today she can save herself.
There is no doubt that they encountered a ghost.
Jin Banwei suddenly realized that Guan Jiyue, who had just been walking with her, was not by her side. Jin Banwei hurriedly turned around to look for Guan Jiyue. At this moment, Guan Jiyue was standing under a bamboo branch three meters away from her. She was staring at the red beads hanging on the bamboo branch with a dull look, not moving a step.
Could it be that Guan Jiyue was also bewitched by the ghost?
Jin Banwei was shocked and quickly took out another Qingxin Talisman. Just as she was about to put it on Guan Jiyue, Guan Jiyue responded: "I'm not affected. Don't waste the talisman on me."
Her voice was indifferent, but there didn't seem to be any unusual movement.
Since she said she was fine, Jin Banwei took back her only remaining Qingxin Talisman: "You are okay? Then did you just watch me being bewitched by a ghost?"
"Yeah." Guan Jiyue still stared at the red beads and replied calmly: "I just want to see when you can react. We are traveling together, you should let me know how capable you are."
"Your talisman is quite good. A basic talisman actually draws six ghost patterns. However, if you don't chant the spell, the talisman's power can only be exerted half. Don't you know how to do it?"
“…”
She asked so sincerely that Jin Banwei didn't know what she was trying to do, she opened her mouth and answered: "I can! Yin and Yang are both born, all living things have their own way, the universe is moved and the stars are broken, all the talismans obey my orders!"
The formula that Jin Banwei recited was the one that appeared most frequently in the original book, and was also the one that Guan Jiyue recited most frequently.
The formula inherited by the Guan family is quite different from other inheritances, and because it is affected by blood, it is useless unless it is shouted by the Guan family bloodline. However, Jin Banwei just gestured and shouted it out, and a ray of light suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Not to mention Guan Jiyue, Jin Banwei herself was stunned: "This is an accident."
Guan Jiyue sensed the emergence of spiritual light, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She finally withdrew her gaze from the red beads and turned to look at Jin Banwei: "You are not my illegitimate child, right?"
"Of course not." Jin Banwei vehemently denied: "Miss Guan, don't joke around at this time. Let's get out of here as soon as possible."
She kept making excuses to Guan Jiyue, but in her heart she had already cursed the system eight hundred times.
The smile on his lips grew colder and colder. He called out to the damn system in his heart and asked, "System, can you explain to me what is going on? It seems that the formula of her Guan family has bloodline restrictions."
[Host, don’t you think the heroine’s stuff is the best? If you ask who is the best at cheating, it has to be Guan Jiyue! ]
She understood that the system was trying to turn her into a member of the Guan family without the Guan family bloodline.
Guan Jiyue does have a lot of cheats. Even her own bloodline talent can be considered a cheat. But the system makes her very embarrassed. An outsider is using the Guan family's inherited formula, with the Yin Bone Incense in one hand and the Soul Gathering Pill in the other, and can even turn around and use her family's formula. How can she explain this to Guan Jiyue!
Fortunately, Guan Jiyue didn't think of asking further questions.
If Jin Banwei wasn't only 20 years old, Guan Jiyue would have to be more serious about it.
But Jin Banwei is old enough. Everyone in her family died twenty years ago. Who could give birth to an illegitimate daughter and even have time to teach her the recipe of Yin Gu Xiang and the mantras for using the talisman?
She withdrew her gaze from Jin Banwei and looked back at the red beads on the bamboo branches. She said calmly, "We have entered the ghost formation. If we want to leave, we must first break the formation."
"You should call me by my name. It's a bit awkward for the lady to hear it too much."
Guan Jiyue had already brought it up, so how could Jin Banwei not change her words: "Guan Jiyue, let's find the center of the formation now."
Guan Jiyue's eyes remained motionless: "Well, the center of the formation should be in the eyes."
"Eyes?" Jin Banwei exclaimed. She looked at the red beads again. Those black dots that were soaked in turbid blood and kept jumping were eyeballs. They were even blinking regularly.
Jin Banwei finally understood the source of the rotten smell.
She covered her lips and made retching sounds.
There are at least a thousand red beads here. If we count each person as having two eyeballs, there are at least more than five hundred lives here.
While feeling disgusted, doubts also arose in my heart: "I don't understand, where did so many people come from for them to kill?"
Jin Banwei didn't think that the formation of her ancestors would be so weak that it could give this ghost the opportunity to kill so many people.
"This land became a wasteland after the explosion more than a hundred years ago. Before that, people had been living here. There are many ways for evil spirits to lure living people into the formation. Moreover, these eyeballs are not only human eyes, but also ghost eyes."
Guan Jiyue laughed sarcastically: "It seems that the evil spirit behind our door is a collector and has a hobby of collecting eyeballs."
"You call this a collector? This is clearly a perversion."
Jin Banwei covered her eyes and shuddered. She didn't quite understand the heroine's train of thought, but she had an inexplicable sense of panic. She always felt that her eyes were being stared at.
This feeling was extremely depressing and uncomfortable. Seeing that Guan Jiyue still had no intention of taking any action, Jin Banwei took action herself.
She took out a stack of specially treated yellow paper from her backpack, bit her thumb and pressed the tip of her thumb on the spiritual paper. Blood began to spread from the first piece of spiritual paper and gradually seeped into each piece of yellow paper stacked together. Although only the first piece of yellow paper was in direct contact with her fingertips, the blood was evenly distributed on each piece of paper, with the same amount.
After doing all this, she took out the ink pen, dipped the blood on her fingertips, and drew a blood-red puppy pattern. Then she put away the ink pen and grabbed the yellow paper. The first piece of yellow paper floated up. She pinched her fingers with one hand and chanted: "There are three ways of Tianyuan. Observe the qi and listen to the eight directions!"
The blood-red dog pattern on the first piece of yellow paper actually floated out of the yellow paper, emitting a light red glow. Jin Banwei slapped it hard, and the dog pattern was printed back on the paper again, but it quickly penetrated the original paper and pressed towards the stacked yellow papers. In an instant, the same pattern was printed on every piece of yellow paper. Jin Banwei threw out the nearly a hundred pieces of yellow paper, and they turned into yellow-haired puppies floating in the air, and ran away in all directions as Jin Banwei waved her hand.
After doing all this, Jin Banwei's face turned slightly pale and her lips lost their original color.
Guan Jiyue watched this scene with great interest and said, "Is this the yellow paper pathfinder from the Paper Clan? I didn't expect that you don't look strong, but you have quite a complete range of skills."
Jin Banwei straightened her back proudly. She finally became a person with some skills.
Although they are paper puppies, they are extremely sensitive to ghost energy and will surely be able to find the center of the formation for Jin Banwei quickly.
The paper-making master's skills are still very powerful and comprehensive enough, but they are extremely wasteful.
Jin Banwei sucked her thumb. The bleeding had stopped, but it still hurt a little.
She was very afraid of pain, but the paper-made door technique required the guidance of one's own blood and energy. If she continued like this, her fingers would definitely be bitten.
Jin Banwei thought rather depressedly that when she got out, she must eat more blood-replenishing foods. It was all Guan Jiyue's fault for not taking action. She must have an easier way.
Guan Jiyue seemed to be sincerely waiting for her to take action, wanting to get a glimpse of her methods.
She didn't need to go through so much trouble. As long as she asked, Jin Banwei would tell her everything!
Can you come up with something to strengthen your fingers next time? At least you should recover after biting them, otherwise the bite marks on your fingers won't look good.
Or let her blood fill up a little? Then she would just bite one finger.
The more Jin Banwei thought about it, the more she was confused. Suddenly, a yellow-haired puppy jumped into her arms and started burning the moment it touched her. After the burning, a faint blood flew into Jin Banwei's body. Jin Banwei's mind had more information. She frowned and pointed to the southeast: "The center of the formation is over there."
"You lead the way." Guan Jiyue didn't waste any words. She took out a silver bow and followed Jin Banwei.
Jin Banwei led Guan Jiyue and rushed towards the center of the formation. The closer they got to the center of the formation, the stronger the wind blew. Jin Banwei's limbs became slightly stiff, and her face felt like it was being cut by an invisible blade. The unpleasant sound became louder and louder. She covered her ears and said, "It's so noisy."
The wind blade blew so fiercely that two bloody marks were left on the back of Jin Banwei's hand that was covering her ears, causing her to gasp.
Guan Jiyue glanced at her. She had already taken out a talisman. She held the bow in her left hand, folded the talisman with her right hand and put it on the bowstring. She pulled it gently, and the talisman between her fingers flew out, shaped like a short arrow emitting blue light.
"Boom" a loud noise was heard from the direction where the talisman flew. Thunder and lightning flashed in the bamboo forest for a while. The purple-blue lightning blade split the dark wind and burned one thin bamboo after another. Even the dim environment became a little brighter.
Jin Banwei recognized that this talisman was the Purple Lightning Talisman, a high-level talisman. This was also the talisman that Guan Jiyue always liked to use, but she didn't expect that this person would actually use the high-level talisman as an arrow.
Ordinary talisman paper can show that it is related to yin and yang, but this high-level talisman is like cultivating immortality.
I wish she could pull out a high-level talisman to protect herself.
After Guan Jiyue broke through the evil wind, their journey became particularly smooth. When they arrived at the center of the formation, they saw her yellow-haired puppies being swallowed by balls of ghost energy. They were originally a means of finding ways and objects, so naturally they did not have much fighting power. Although they were just balls of ghost energy, Jin Banwei's puppies could only flee in a hurry.
When they saw Jin Banwei coming, they all pounced on her.
As more and more blood and energy flew into her body, Jin Banwei also obtained more and more information. She shared the information with Guan Jiyue: "There are twelve ghosts setting up the formation. Their auras are very strong and similar. This is why they can use the ghost formation together. Their auras are very strong, but their voices are very childish, sounding like children. I don't know why they are far away from the formation. I can only hear them talking about getting married."
This time, Guan Jiyue was really a little surprised.
She looked deeply at Jin Banwei, who seemed a little weak in her eyes: "You can actually hear the sounds outside the formation. That's a pretty good ability."
The same method will produce different results when used by different people. The effect produced by Jin Banwei was very good, and Guan Jiyue, who didn't have high expectations, was satisfied.
"Jin Banwei, we are going out." Guan Jiyue sent another purple lightning talisman towards the center of the formation that Jin Banwei pointed to. After a burst of lightning and thunder, the bamboo forest disappeared, and was replaced by a row of closely packed graves. The small grave mounds were filled with blood-stained soil and emitted a foul odor.
Behind the grave mound was a dense forest. The trees in the forest were covered with dense black and red old leaves, blocking the possibility of peeking into the forest.
There were a few black crows perched on some dead trees in the graveyard, calling incessantly. Guan Jiyue picked up a few stones and threw them at them. The moment the crows were hit, they turned into shadows and floated away. They were not real crows, but the eyes of the ghosts that set up the ghost formation.
After the crows disappeared, joyful sounds were heard, with the sound of suona becoming louder and louder.
Joy rang out from the silent and desolate graves, strangely enough, and along with the joy came several tender children’s voices, singing a ballad, one voice overlapping another: “Fox fairy, marry a wife, break the beads, cut off the body, bleed blood, cut flesh flesh, sister, sister, sister, her head fell off, sister, sister, sister, shedding tears…”
The voices were smaller and sweeter than the last, but the words made Jin Banwei shudder.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and the strange tune was becoming clearer and clearer. A layer of cold sweat gradually climbed up Jin Banwei's back, and her calves felt a little weak. She bit her lips tightly, fearing that she would scream out in fear and lose the upper hand.
Guan Jiyue was a person who was used to seeing evil spirits and strange events. Her expression did not change much. She just touched her earlobe and said, "This nursery rhyme is really ugly."
She was actually still appreciating it seriously!
Jin Banwei rubbed her neck, trying to warm it up, and gently turned it, looking at Guan Jiyue in disbelief: "You call this a nursery rhyme?"
Guan Jiyue nodded calmly: "They are here."
In the dense forest at the end of the grave mound, a wedding procession came out accompanied by the sound of suona and songs. The procession was full of children, the oldest was no more than seven or eight years old, and the youngest was only four or five years old. They looked mentally immature, and they were jumping and skipping as they walked, carrying the sedan chair.
Walking in front were four little girls playing suona and beating gongs, followed by eight boys carrying a sedan chair.
They were all wearing red clothes with red brocade and red hats, and they all looked extremely festive.
Each of them wore a golden bell on their ankle, which made a cheerful sound as they jumped up and down, as if adding some decoration to the joyful sounds.
But that pale face, cheeks as red as blood, although he was grinning, the smile was stiff, the curve was abnormal, and it looked extremely weird.
Jin Banwei shuddered: "Guan Jiyue, should we take action?"
Guan Jiyue's expression became serious for once. She squinted at Jin Banwei and said, "Isn't your wife a little too strong? All of the people who came out to lead the charge are actually red ghosts."
If ghosts were divided into levels, they would be ordinary ghosts, white-clothed ghosts, evil ghosts, fierce ghosts, green ghosts, red fierce ghosts, and ghost kings. The twelve children in front of them were all powerful characters second only to the ghost king.
Ordinary warlocks are helpless when encountering evil spirits, but they actually encountered twelve red evil spirits in one go.
Jin Banwei's face also became embarrassed.
Guan Jiyue bit her lower lip gently: "But her breath is obviously not too outrageous."
Jin Banwei sighed: "I have introduced the ghost sister's soul into the paper man, and the paper man's body is not well integrated, so you can only sense part of the breath."
"..." Guan Jiyue was silent for a while, and she had already started to set up the formation.
It was not known whether those red ghosts did it on purpose or not. They seemed to be jumping all the time, but the distance between them did not change. They seemed to be observing Guan Jiyue's methods and were also afraid of Guan Jiyue.
Jin Banwei also quietly took out the two paper figures she had prepared in her bag. She asked Guan Jiyue, "Are they just the vanguard?"
"Didn't you hear the nursery rhymes they sang?"
After Guan Jiyue nodded, Jin Banwei immediately reacted: "Fox lady!"
Guan Jiyue nodded, rarely showing her usual arrogance and casualness: "The two leading these little ghosts have auras very similar to those of ghost kings. The fox lady must be a ghost king to have them under her command, and even one of the best among ghost kings. So the one sealed in our life gate may be the strongest fighting force in the entire barrier."
She twitched the corners of her mouth in a mocking tone: "I hope those who want to kill me through the Qinglong Back Gate have some real skills, so they don't die too easily."
As the wind blew, the curtain of the bridal sedan was lifted, revealing the bride who was tied up inside. She was not covered with a red veil, and her lips were sealed with a red cloth. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress, which made her already fair skin even whiter. Her facial features were very gentle, like a blooming jasmine flower, gentle and white, but people could not take their eyes away.
If she was just beautiful, Jin Banwei would have just taken a glance at her, but... facing that face, Jin Banwei couldn't look away at all.
That...that's Ren Qiao's face!
Jin Banwei would not make a mistake. That face was engraved in her heart, so how could she make a mistake?
Although the face was the same, there was no gentleness and calmness in those eyes. Instead, there was sinisterness, resentment, panic, and tears of blood that kept falling.
She was unwilling to be the one chosen, she hated the fox lady's cruelty and brutality, and she was afraid of her own future.
The first two emotions were ones that he had never seen on Ren Qiao. As for panic, Ren Qiao's uneasiness would only last for a moment.
Ren Qiao is a sweet-talking person, as gentle and tender as water, and she can always control her emotions very well.
This woman is not Ren Qiao, but that face is Ren Qiao's.
Jin Banwei rubbed her eyes which suddenly felt a little sore. The face which looked the same as Ren Qiao's was covered with a faint red mist. Before Jin Banwei could see clearly, the curtain of the sedan chair fell down, blocking her sight.
There is only one explanation left, that is, this woman stole Ren Qiao's face...
But how did she do this? Did she see Ren Qiao? Or did Ren Qiao come here? Could it be that her real face was the face that Ren Qiao had in Leng Xiangying's eyes? Or was this an illusion created by the enemy? But Guan Jiyue was obviously stronger, so even if he had to use the spell of ecstasy, he should have used it on her first.
Jin Banwei rubbed her aching head. She gritted her teeth and stared at the closed curtain of the sedan chair: "Guan Jiyue, before we take action, can you let me rescue the bride first?"
