With a flash of blood, the bag's struggles ceased instantly.
My expression changed slightly. The feel of this bag was not like the hemp rope inside at all; it was more like a piece of millennium-old ice!
With just a slight touch, I could feel my fingers stiffen and become icy cold.
"Watch closely, whatever you do, don't let it leave!"
I solemnly gave my instructions, then looked at Ge Wang and Li Huai, who both nodded with serious expressions.
I rejoined the group, knowing that this time the zongzi was no ordinary creature.
Ge Wang was indeed somewhat skilled, but his talisman could only suppress the attack for a fleeting moment.
After the sudden turn of events, the group fell into a deathly silence.
Almost everyone felt fear.
The procession continued onward, but the atmosphere was as oppressive as the calm before a storm.
Meanwhile, Luo Tianhe, who plays Zhong Kui, leads the way with exaggerated gestures.
I keenly noticed that even Luo Tianhe's body was trembling slightly.
The accompanying personnel, who had scattered rice, salt, and nails along the way, turned deathly pale.
The moment they scattered the food, the ground seemed to be heated like a red-hot iron plate, instantly scorching the rice grains, salt, and other things they threw down, making a sizzling sound.
If I hadn't been standing calmly in the group, these villagers would have fled in panic long ago.
Just then, we finally left the village, but a thick fog suddenly rolled in on the path in front of us.
Everyone's expression changed immediately. The path was extremely narrow, allowing only three to five people to pass at a time.
In this white fog, visibility is extremely low, and with such a long queue, it's possible that even if a few people are missing, no one might notice.
I immediately shouted:
"When everyone is walking, hold onto the hem of the person in front of you and never let go."
Hearing my words, the villagers had no choice but to bite the bullet and do as I said.
After all, in this thick fog, only by grabbing the hem of the person in front of you can you ensure that you don't get lost.
Even though they had walked this road countless times, looking at the path that ended in the thick fog, they felt completely unfamiliar with it.
Instead of grabbing the hem of my clothes, I stared intently at Luo Tianhe ahead.
After all, I need to maintain my image as a superior person. Without me as their pillar of support, these villagers wouldn't dare to step into the fog at all.
Suddenly, I felt a dark shadow flash past me. I turned my head sharply, but I didn't see anything.
When I turned back again, I could no longer see Luo Tianhe's figure in the thick fog ahead.
At that moment, I was horrified to discover that I could no longer hear Luo Tianhe's footsteps or the heavy breathing of the villagers.
The world seemed to have been muted; all I could hear was the pounding of my heart, like a drumbeat, coming from my chest.
"Luo Tianhe, Luo Tianhe!"
I shouted loudly, but there was no response.
I frowned, realizing something was wrong.
If Luo Tianhe is really alright, he will definitely stop or turn around to look for me if he notices that I'm not behind him.
I turned around abruptly, and not only in front of me, but also behind me, Li Huai, who had been tugging at my clothes, and the villagers who were with him, had all vanished without a trace!
This damn evil spirit!
I cursed inwardly, then realized what I was doing—I was trapped in a maze!
Moreover, this is definitely not an ordinary ghost wall, after all, so many of us came in this time, and everyone has something to ward off evil spirits.
My expression twisted slightly; this was a sinister maze that combined visual and auditory isolation!
I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down; the cold fog made my lungs feel icy.
Fortunately, the method was indeed effective. After taking a few deep breaths, I looked solemnly at the fog ahead.
A typical case of being lost in a maze is just a matter of disorientation, and you can easily get out by wearing your clothes backwards and walking backwards. But this place is clearly different.
"The universe is boundless; dispel illusions and reveal the truth! Open!"
I bit my tongue, and a mouthful of pure yang blood mixed with incantation energy sprayed onto the peach wood sword.
Instantly, the sword shone brightly with red light. I held the sword with both hands and used it as a pen to draw a huge "破" character in the air in front of me.
With my level of skill, I shouldn't be able to come up with such a profound way to break the deadlock.
But this peach wood sword is no ordinary object.
According to my master, this peach wood sword was made of wood struck by lightning, and that Taoist priests who descended the mountain throughout the ages had used it to slay demons and monsters. The yang energy condensed within it was unparalleled.
Moreover, although this peach wood sword was not sharpened, it was as easy to deal with ordinary ghosts as a hot knife through butter.
My master concluded with a single sentence:
This sword does not cut flesh and blood, but only karmic obstacles and misfortune!
"break!"
With a loud shout, the talisman radiating red light instantly slammed into the white mist like a red-hot iron.
The white mist melted away like snow, making a hissing sound.
I was panting heavily, and the repeated use of my essence had left me somewhat weak.
Fortunately, my efforts were not in vain. As the talisman bloomed, the surrounding mist thinned by 90%, and I was able to see the surrounding scenery clearly.
The scene before me did not relax me; instead, it made my scalp tingle.
The procession carrying away the evil spirits was still there, and the villagers stood frozen in place as if they were rooted to the spot.
They stood there stiff as corpses, their faces filled with terror, as if they had seen something in that instant.
But I didn't have time to deal with the villagers; they were just standing there, at least their lives weren't in danger.
Meanwhile, Luo Tianhe, who plays Zhong Kui, is seeing his skin turn bluish-purple at a visible speed, and a clear, tightening bruise is appearing around his neck!
Unbeknownst to him, he was subjected to "strangulation" by that invisible malevolent energy!
I looked closely and realized that not only Luo Tianhe, but also Li Huai and Ge Wang were in very bad shape.
It was clear that they both obeyed me very well; even though their faces were full of fear, they still clung tightly to the cloth bags in their hands.
Even though I had sealed the bag's opening tightly with a yellow talisman, dark, malevolent energy was still seeping out.
The murderous aura transformed into a pitch-black rope, which had already wrapped around Li Huai and Ge Wang's necks, tightening it tightly!
And then, they were slowly lifting the two of them up. The two of them struggled desperately, panting heavily.
Their eyes had rolled back, but their hands were still gripping the cloth bag tightly, and they were about to be strangled to death.
Damn it, this evil spirit even knows military strategy, it knows how to feint to the east while attacking in the west!
I cursed inwardly.
This evil zongzi used the illusion of being trapped in a maze to confuse me, but its real killing move was to deal with Luo Tianhe and Li Huaige Wang at the same time!
