The handsome young man was suspended in the air, looking at Lin Dan in the illusion with an expressionless face. When she left the rental house pushing a suitcase, the hostility in his eyes finally faded away bit by bit.
"It turns out that I can live like this. It turns out that resistance is such an easy thing." He kept repeating this sentence, and then he laughed softly, his expression full of self-mockery. Just as Lin Dan said, any man with blood in his veins would not end up like this. He had too many opportunities to escape, but he could never muster up the courage. Strictly speaking, he did not die from the evil of human nature, but from his own cowardice.
As the boy laughed, the illusion began to collapse. Lin Dan's eyes lit up, and she finally saw the Qingyuan Mountain Cemetery again, and also saw Gao Shukai. The other party didn't even give her time to react and hugged her tightly, crying like a baby.
"Lin Dan, I'm sorry, I'm so useless!" He kept repeating this sentence, his voice full of regret and self-blame. He was like a bystander, and could only helplessly watch Lin Dan struggle in the illusion. Her ruthlessness did not scare him, but instead shocked his heart. If she hadn't experienced so much hardship, how could a girl like her be so strong? No matter what kind of adversity she faces, she can always find a way out. This is because she is used to being alone and relying on herself. Her weak body cannot limit her strong soul at all.
Gao Shukai felt so heartbroken that he cried more and more sadly. Lin Dan felt somewhat helpless, but still gently patted his back and whispered, "I'm fine. Everything you saw is not real."
Gao Shukai shook his head and said nothing. He knew that was not true, but the despair and pain Lin Dan felt were real. In the final analysis, he was too useless and failed to protect Lin Dan.
The young man slowly revealed himself and whispered, "Your name is Lin Dan, right? You surprise me."
Lin Dan patted Gao Shukai's head, turned around and looked directly at the boy.
"You made me realize that there is another possibility for my life. Now you can go, please." A door appeared next to the boy.
"What about you?" Lin Dan looked at him doubtfully.
"Me? Of course I have to leave too. It's just a coffin, how can it hold me down? These years, I have been held down by myself." The young man shook his head and chuckled, his expression seeming very happy. Just now, he finally got rid of the demons in his heart, and at the same time, he got rid of the constraints of this cemetery and this coffin. It turned out that he was not unable to leave this place, but was trapped by his own cowardice.
The young man tilted his head, as if listening to something. After a while, his figure began to fade, and he urged again: "You can leave. I don't need other people's bodies now. I can take revenge on my own."
Lin Dan quickly said, "Wait a minute, can you tell me what's so special about Gao Shukai? Why did you choose him?"
The young man was particularly tolerant of her and said frankly, "Eight characters are composed of 'year stem, year branch', 'month stem, month branch', 'day stem, day branch', 'hour stem, hour branch', a total of eight stems and branches. Each combination is called a 'column', forming 'year column', 'month column', 'day column', and 'hour column', so eight characters are also called 'four columns' or 'four columns and eight characters', and at the same time produce the five elements. His fate is very special. He can neither form a column nor produce the five elements, and he can't enter yin and yang. It is a life of broken columns that is rare in ten thousand years. People with this kind of fate are not subject to the control of heaven, and are not stained by cause and effect. It's okay for ordinary people, but if they enter the practice, they can do whatever they want. All ghosts and monsters in the world, even the heavenly master, want this kind of fate. Do you think his body is precious?"
Feeling Gao Shukai's trembling, Lin Dan held his hand tightly and asked again: "Then, what is the reason why you can't just take over his body?"
"Because a master has placed a restriction in his body, no evil creature can take over his body unless he agrees. Ordinary ghosts can't see the restriction, and once they get close to him, their souls will be shattered. But there are too many ghosts that collide with the restriction, and it has been too long since the restriction was placed, so the effect has become weaker and weaker. I could have taken his body by wearing away the restriction, but now I let him go for your sake, as a reward for thanking you for breaking the restraints for me."
The young man pulled the corners of his lips and actually revealed a kind smile.
Lin Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Then, can this kind of restriction be placed on the ghost so that he cannot take over other people's bodies at will?"
"Of course. As long as we melt his flesh and blood while he's still alive, carve spells on his bones, and imprison his soul, we can put the same restrictions on him. Is there anything else you need to know?" the young man asked politely.
"No need, thank you." Lin Dan waved his hand, and the boy disappeared on the spot.
Gao Shukai hurriedly pulled Lin Dan towards the door. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in a coffin, with Lin Dan lying in his arms with a very peaceful expression. He froze immediately, raised his head slightly, sniffed her hair like a puppy, touched her breath, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, I'm not dead." Lin Dan suddenly spoke, scaring him so much that he trembled.
"I'm sorry, I've implicated you. Are you here to save me at Qingyuan Mountain?" Gao Shukai asked expectantly.
"Yes, you have been missing for a day and a night, so I had no choice but to come out to look for you." Lin Dan answered as a matter of course.
"Thank you." Gao Shukai grinned foolishly.
Lin Dan said slowly: "I won't save you for nothing, you have to pay me."
"Okay, I'll give you whatever you want." Gao Shukai quickly expressed his determination.
Lin Dan was very satisfied with his performance. He supported his chest and stood up, saying calmly, "Let's leave this coffin first. It stinks."
With a beautiful woman in his arms, how could Gao Shukai feel any stink? He looked around and then showed a horrified expression. He hurriedly supported Lin Dan's waist and helped her out of the coffin. He waited until she stood up completely before crawling out in a panic and ran to the bushes to retch. There was a skeleton pressed on his back. It was such an exciting sight!
"There are six people who came with me. Let's go look for them?" He said embarrassedly after vomiting.
"Yes." Lin Dan picked up the shovel and said slowly: "Let's go, let's go dig the grave."
"Dig, dig, dig the grave?" Gao Shukai was frightened.
"They were all dragged into the grave, so the police couldn't find anyone." Lin Dan released a few poisonous insects and asked them to look for graves with the scent of living people.
When the two started digging graves, Bai Xian and others were still trapped in the ghost den. They also experienced several reincarnations, and suffered varying degrees of physical and mental damage. In the end, Bai Xian decided to set up a formation to break the ghost den, but the premise was that he would need a lot of time and someone would have to cover him. Ai Yu volunteered to enter the illusion to attract the boy's attention.
She was very lucky to become the boy's classmate, and did her best to protect him, guide him, and help him avoid those misfortunes. The young man seemed to be moved by her kindness, and after one reincarnation, he did not pull her into the illusion again.
Bai Xian noticed this situation and said in a voice transmission: "Well done, you try to convert him."
Ai Yu's confidence increased greatly. Just as he was about to feed the boy chicken soup, the boy's true form appeared and taunted him, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need such help. I am so cowardly and incompetent, I should have killed him earlier!"
He stretched out his hand and crushed himself in the illusion into powder.
Ai Yu was so confused that he blurted out, "Are you crazy?"
The young man glanced at her with contempt, and slowly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a meaningful sentence: "I give you a piece of advice, don't touch my body."
As the ghost den collapsed, what Lin Dan did in the illusion was also presented to Ai Yu and others in the form of images. She is cruel to others and even crueler to herself, but what is precious is that she never loses her original heart. She killed the devil and changed the boy's fate, and helped him get rid of his obsession and escape from the cemetery.
As soon as the young man left, the evil den collapsed without any attack.
Bai Xian stared at the image in the air and didn't say anything for a long time. Bai Sheng and Zhou Nan were both stunned, and they finally came to their senses when Lin Dan pushed the suitcase out of the rental house.
"Who is this person?" Bai Sheng sighed, "She was in a situation where she was sure to die, but she was able to fight back. This is too tough! I would never be able to do this!"
"She is my classmate, her name is Lin Dan. She is a Gu girl from Miaojiang and she is really powerful." Zhou Nan's face was full of admiration.
Bai Xian stared at the slowly disappearing illusion and said thoughtfully: "I will ask her to talk after I go back. Her character, style and ability are very suitable for our arbitration bureau. Okay, let's go out." He took the lead and stepped out of the ghost den that was about to shatter into light spots.
Ai Yu followed behind the three people with a very ugly expression. When she saved and influenced the boy in the illusion, she felt proud and complacent. She converted a ghost king just by doing some good deeds. Her strength and character must be enough to impress Uncle Bai Xian, right? As a result, the appearance of the Ghost King himself was like a slap in the face. He didn't need anyone to save him at all. Lin Dan's every move finally made him realize that the only one who could save him was himself.
Compared with Lin Dan's performance in the illusion, Ai Yu suddenly looked so ridiculous. Her eyes turned red, and she said immediately after stepping out of the ghost cave: "Master Bai Xian, the evil ghost has escaped from Qingyuan Mountain and will definitely seek revenge on those three people. In order to prevent him from causing trouble, let's burn his body."
Bai Xian said nonchalantly, "So what if it's revenge? They caused the evil, so they should bear the consequences."
"But what if the evil ghost becomes bloodthirsty and harms innocent people?" Ai Yu persuaded persistently.
Bai Xian paused and turned to look at the grave where the boy was buried. Although he didn't find anything unusual, he felt that the atmosphere here was particularly different from other places. However, if you ask him to explain it in detail, he is not very sure. He walked around the tomb several times, took out the compass and looked at it again, and finally decided to trust his sixth sense: "Don't touch this tomb yet. I will monitor the movements of the evil spirit to prevent him from harming innocent people."
Ai Yu wanted to say something, but Bai Xian had already walked away. Zhou Nan and Bai Sheng naturally obeyed his orders.
Ai Yu looked at the backs of the three people, his expression constantly changing. Although he left at the moment, he turned back from time to time and stared at the grave with a sinister look in his eyes. Leaving the corpse of the evil spirit unburned and leaving behind such a huge disaster, what qualifications does Uncle Bai Xian have to be the leader of Xuanmen!
