Chapter 12 Female Ghost
The old forest on the back mountain was filled with gloomy air. Even at noon, the sunlight could not penetrate the layers of treetops.
Gu Yuan stood at the edge of the woods, feeling a chill running up his spine from the soles of his feet, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him in the darkness.
"Ji... Ji Yunzhou, are you there?"
Gu Yuan swallowed and asked tremblingly, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
He subconsciously touched the Five Emperors' Coins bracelet on his wrist. The ancient copper coins shone dimly in the sunlight.
"Are you useless? Didn't you swear yesterday that you could do it?"
A lazy and sarcastic voice sounded in Gu Yuan's mind.
Gu Yuan's face suddenly turned red.
He did say that to Ji Yunzhou yesterday when he was angry with him.
"Who said I was scared? It's just too quiet. I don't like places that are too quiet."
Gu Yuan was stubborn and tightened the tattered canvas bag on his body, which was filled with various talismans and magic tools left to him by Grandpa Lin.
"Oh…"
Ji Yunzhou sneered: "If you can't do it, let me do it. Don't waste time here."
How could Gu Yuan admit defeat?
The little flame of "why not just forget it" that had just emerged in my heart was extinguished in an instant by this ridicule, and was replaced by a surge of stubbornness that rushed straight to my head.
This guy always acts superior and makes fun of him at every turn.
“No need!”
Gu Yuan almost shouted, his voice sounding particularly abrupt and guilty in the silent forest:
"If I say I can do it, I can do it!"
He took a deep breath and stepped into the old forest.
In an instant, the temperature around him dropped sharply.
The white air exhaled by Gu Yuan condensed in front of him, and the dead leaves under his feet made a teeth-grinding sound of breaking.
What's even more strange is that the bird calls that were originally audible have completely disappeared, and the entire forest has fallen into a dead silence.
There was only the sound of his own heart beating like a drum.
"Playing tricks!"
Gu Yuan forced himself to remain calm, made a hand gesture with his right hand, and a yellow talisman appeared out of thin air between his fingers.
The talisman to dispel evil spirits is specially used to deal with this kind of environment with heavy yin energy.
The talisman paper ignited without wind, and the light blue flame surrounded Gu Yuan, and the surrounding Yin Qi was immediately forced back a little.
Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward.
Grandpa Lin said that there is an ancient well deep in this old forest, and the strange things that have happened recently may be related to that well.
rustle--
Gu Yuan turned around suddenly, only to see the swaying shadows of trees behind him, but nothing else.
His back was soaked with cold sweat, and the hand holding the talisman paper was shaking slightly.
"Ji Yunzhou, do you...do you feel anything?"
Gu Yuan asked in his mind.
"Yes, I have."
Ji Yunzhou replied lazily: "I feel a coward trembling."
"you!"
Gu Yuan was choked and almost couldn't breathe, and was about to refute this vicious guy.
An even more biting cold wind blew across the back of his neck without warning!
Next second!
A cold hand silently rested on his shoulder.
"What a nice smelling human..."
An ethereal female voice sounded in his ears, with a strange smile: "Hehehe..."
"Get out of here!"
Gu Yuan almost instinctively slapped back with his hand, and the thunder talisman in his palm was instantly activated, and a white light burst out from his palm.
"Ah!l"
The female ghost let out a shrill scream and quickly retreated.
Only then did Gu Yuan see her appearance clearly. She was wearing a tattered red dress, her long hair covering most of her face, and the exposed skin was an abnormal bluish-gray color.
Her right hand was already charred black after being hit by Gu Yuan's palm lightning.
“It hurts…it hurts so much!”
The ghost girl's voice became distorted and frantic, no longer as ethereal as before, but filled with hatred:
"I'm going to... I'm going to tear you apart! Bit by bit... Eat your flesh and blood! Chew your bones! Drink your blood! Your blood... smells even better!!"
She twitched her nose greedily, as if the blood oozing from the wound on Gu Yuan's shoulder that was cut by the cold wind was the most tempting delicacy in the world.
Then he suddenly disappeared from the spot, and appeared on Gu Yuan's left side the next second, with his five claw-like fingers reaching straight for his throat.
Gu Yuan dodged hastily, but his shoulder was still cut.
The burning pain made him gasp, and blood quickly soaked his clothes.
"Don't hide, little Taoist priest!" the female ghost laughed crazily.
He hurriedly took out a peach wood sword from his bag and chanted a spell at the same time.
The peach wood sword hit the female ghost with a "hissing" sound and emitted wisps of black smoke.
The female ghost twisted in pain, but pounced on Gu Yuan even more frantically.
Gu Yuan rolled on the ground in embarrassment, barely avoiding the attack.
The peach wood sword flew out of his hand and fell a few steps away.
He lay on the ground, his chest aching, and a fishy-sweet taste rising in his throat.
It's over... The talismans are almost gone... and the peach wood sword is also lost...
He felt that he would be torn to pieces and devoured by the female ghost's monstrous resentment at any time.
"Tsk, that's really ugly."
Ji Yunzhou's voice sounded again, his tone was somewhat serious:
"This red-robed evil spirit has been absorbing evil energy for at least two hundred years, and is about to become powerful.
With your mediocre skills, you can't even fill the gaps between her teeth. Stop forcing yourself and give me control of your body!"
Gu Yuan gritted his teeth.
He really has no other options.
The talismans left to him by Grandpa Lin were almost used up, and the spells he had practiced were no match for ghosts of this level.
After being blown away by the ghost girl's cold wind once again, Gu Yuan finally accepted his fate and closed his eyes.
"Okay...I'll leave it to you."
In an instant, Gu Yuan felt his consciousness being pushed to a corner of his body.
He could still see and hear, but he had lost control of his body.
Instead, a strange, powerful force filled his limbs and bones.
When "Gu Yuan" opened his eyes again, his originally gentle eyes had turned into a deep dark red.
"What the hell!"
A low, cold voice came from Gu Yuan's throat, although it was still his voice.
But it contains an absolute majesty that looks down on the world and regards all things as ants.
"Gu Yuan" didn't even look at the red-clothed ghost that pounced in front of him.
The corners of his mouth curled up in an arc filled with absolute contempt: "Dare you covet... my people?"
The last four words were like thunder!
Every word carries a weight of substance!
The red-clothed female ghost that pounced fiercely froze in place less than half a foot away from "Gu Yuan's" face!
It was as if I had hit an invisible, indestructible wall of sighs!
For the first time, her blood-red pupils revealed the fear that came from the depths of her soul!
"Who...who are you?"
The ghost girl's voice was shaking uncontrollably, filled with incredible horror. Her remaining claws scratched at the air in vain, but could not shake even a trace of air.
The evil energy that she had accumulated for a hundred years was rapidly melting and disintegrating in front of this existence!
