Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 218 Returning to the Soul, Ghost Invasion

It took a long time for the violent earthquake to calm down. We looked at each other, and everyone sat on the ground weakly. Lao Jiu suddenly collapsed on the ground: "No more, no more, nothing!"

I noticed that everyone's clothes were in tatters, and they were somewhat injured. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, so I let them go. Looking at him, I happened to see him spitting out blood secretly, it wasn’t pure blood, and there were some blood streaks in his saliva, he noticed my eyes, he sat up, wiped the corner of his mouth: “I’m fine, just go back and take care of me .”

Tiger and Tie Shou went to fetch Ah Qing's body. We stayed where we were and drank water. Lao Jiu looked at the time, and his eyes immediately changed: "It's strange, time passes so fast, and it's already the afternoon of the third day!"

Meng Luo cheered up and said: "We must rush back to the town before midnight today, and the day of the third day is coming."

"Time goes by too fast." Tao Ran said blankly: "It's such a wonderful feeling, inside and outside the cave, it seems like a lifetime away."

"Is the pearl still there?" Seventh Sister asked.

Meng Luo took out the fox relic: "It's still there."

"That's good, let's go back first." Seventh sister stood up, her legs went limp, and her body immediately tilted, Lao Jiu quickly supported her: "Xu Qiqi, can't hold it anymore?"

Here it is again, caring is not caring, but provocation instead, Lao Jiu always repeats this rhythm, Seventh Sister immediately pushes Lao Jiu away: "I don't need your help, cats cry and mice pretend to be merciful."

"Ge Laozi, Xu Qiqi, you just..." Lao Jiu sat down on his buttocks: "Everyone finally came out, and you will die if you speak softly. Among so many people, I am the only one who cares about you the most, you know?"

"You don't need to know." Seventh Sister said: "So many things have happened, my mind is in a mess now, don't bother me."

Lao Jiu turned his head and looked down the mountain resentfully: "People outside must think it's an earthquake."

My heart moved, I went in again, and found that the whole stone room was completely blocked, and the inside was completely blocked. I don't know why, but my heart was relieved. In this way, this place disappeared completely, and Tao Ran came to me quietly. staring at the wall in front of me: "I missed something."

"If you miss it, just miss it. It might be a good thing." I looked into Tao Ran's eyes, "It was my fault for dragging you into the water, but seeing that you have detoxified the poison, I feel that I did the right thing. Tao Ran, you will Do you blame me?"

"I knew from the very beginning that you deliberately dragged me into the water. It was my choice that I didn't refuse. What are you to blame?" Tao Ran said lightly: "Open one eye, close one eye, I don't know how to do this. Maybe I will learn in the future, I went out first, there is nothing to see here."

I was taken aback, Tao Ran had already gone out, the sound of their talking came from outside, they came back with Ah Qing’s body, now it’s time to evacuate, I will go out immediately, a group of people finally arrived, we started Hurrying back, as soon as we crossed the creek, the sky turned dark. We didn’t dare to stop even for a moment, so we rushed back as fast as we could, and finally arrived at the town at [-]:[-] pm. Daqing was impatient, and we were waiting at the town entrance again. Looking at us, this guy even moved a chair and sat there. When he saw us coming back, he was pleasantly surprised and then worried: "It seems that there was an earthquake in the afternoon. I'm really worried that something will happen to you. Just come back."

"Put the bead back quickly." Monroe took out the bead: "Put it where it was originally placed."

There are still dots of lights in the town. I looked into the depths of the town and saw that the whole town was covered in thick black fog. Almost every roof was filled with this kind of black fog. Daqing had many questions to ask, but I temporarily dismissed this idea, took the beads into the house, and I asked Meng Luo: "What are those black mist?"

"The resentment of the lonely ghosts in Changbai Mountain." Meng Luo said, "Oh no, there are ghosts returning."

Meng Luo walked into the house in a hurry, just bumped into Daqing who came out, and asked anxiously, "Has anyone died in the town recently?"

"Yes, an old man passed away." Daqing looked at Mengluo's face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Today is his soul-returning night." Meng Luo said: "Before a person dies, he will take a breath in the yang world. This breath will give the soul the strength to walk the last part of the yang world on the soul-returning night. His luck is really bad. Just in time for San Po Sun, there are many evil spirits, he is a new soul, I am afraid that he will be knocked out of his wits, and he will never be reborn."

Daqing's body trembled: "How can it be done?"

"Yeah, it can't be done. The bead was taken away and affected the town's cinnabar array. Now the aura is very weak. Even if the bead comes back, it will be difficult to protect the town. Daqing, I need something, you must use the fastest time Ready." Munro supported his head: "You understand."

Daqing said: "I see, black dog blood and rooster blood, I will prepare right away, how much do you want?"

"The more the better." Meng Luo sent Daqing away, took out a box from his backpack, Tiger and Tie Shou went to place Ah Qing's body, and we surrounded him: "Is the situation serious?"

Meng Luo took out the cow's tears, and everyone except me dripped a drop. Everyone dripped the cow's tears, and their expressions changed. Lao Jiu blurted out: "I'll go, what's the matter with those fogs? It's strange, why are they still divided into colors now?" ?”

Meng Luo took out the Zhengyang Talisman, one for each person as usual: "Put on the Talisman first, and enter the house. There is an enchantment around Daqing's house that I have set up before. You will be fine if you stay inside."

"Where are the others?" Iron Hand asked.

"Do my best." Mengluo said: "I will try my best before Zishi. I have no guarantee of success or failure. My current skill has been greatly weakened. Among you, only Lin Tianyi can help me, and the rest should protect me." I am helping myself."

Tie Shou was dumb for a while, but Seventh Sister didn't take it seriously: "You're right, I'll go find something to eat first, before the third day comes, to fill my stomach, anyway, it will take time for Daqing to find something."

"I have one more thing to do now," Munro said.

As soon as Munro stretched out his hand, there was a red thread in his hand. He muttered something, and saw a white shadow popping out of the black mist, tied to one end of the red rope, and when Munro pulled it, the white shadow entered the palm of his hand: "You are a new ghost, not a match for these guys. You and I will enter Daqing's house first, and we will let you out after three days."

After doing this, we entered the house together, and we all lost our human shapes. We were cold and hungry, and when we saw something to eat, we rushed towards it, but we couldn’t really eat much. After eating, we all stopped. Meng Luo still kept drinking water, thinking of his vomiting blood, I was a little worried: "Stinky boy..."

"I'm fine. Even if I have something, I have to wait until the third day has passed." Meng Luo squeezed out a smile: "From the middle of the day, at least until three quarters of the noon tomorrow."

"At three o'clock in the afternoon." I said, "In ancient times, the killing of prisoners was at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"In ancient times, a day and night were divided into twelve hours, and then divided into one hundred quarters. The third quarter of the day was the time when the yang energy was at its peak, and the yin was afraid of the yang energy, so the time to control the yin was the third quarter of the noon." Mengluo said: "Sanpori stops from midnight to [-]:[-] noon, and there are still two and a half hours left in ion time, Lin Tianyi, are you sleepy?"

"It's okay." I said, "I can hold on."

"Don't hold on, old nine, please keep an eye on the color and movement of the fog outside. They haven't moved yet, they just permeate the roofs of every house. The closer we get to Sanpori, the more frequent their movements will be." Munro said: "Lin Tianyi, let's go to sleep for a while, and then our highlight."

I went, and always felt that after I came out of that place, Meng Luo spoke in a different tone, a lot more crisp and preoccupied. When I went upstairs to sleep, Meng Luo stopped: "Lin Tianyi, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" I asked.

"There was a moment where I felt it wasn't fair," Munro said. "We were also poisoned, and I almost lost my life and you were safe. I had such selfish thoughts. I'm sorry."

"Tch, what do I think is the matter." I waved my hand and said, "I don't read much, but I know one thing, people's psychology will change due to different environments. Grandpa Gan chose me to protect you, after all, I am not his own, isn't this kind of thinking very evil, everyone is mutual, so it is written off."

Munro was stunned, and finally laughed: "The stone in my heart can be put down."

"Go to sleep, I don't have much time, I'm quite nervous when I think about fighting those evil spirits." I smiled and said, "I'll go to sleep first."

As soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep and had no dreams. It wasn't until Lao Jiu rushed into the room excitedly to call us that I sat up from the bed: "Come?"

"Those fogs have started to move." Lao Jiu said excitedly: "Just now, dog blood and chicken blood are ready."

Meng Luo was still asleep one second, and sat up the next second: "It's started, go downstairs, Lin Tianyi."

We went downstairs, Mengluo and I carried a bucket of blood, wandered around the town, sprinkled the blood along the direction of the cinnabar lamps, I lifted the bluestone board, and the cinnabar lamps were brighter than before , but still not so bright, Meng Luo said: "The spiritual energy has dissipated, and it will take time to come back. We can't wait, we can only replenish it the day after tomorrow, and use these talismans to increase the effect of the cinnabar array. Lin Tianyi, look, these black mist are now The color has changed, which means that ghosts of various levels have come out. The black before is mostly souls above the level of Sombra, including Sombra, Ligui and Sheqing. They are originally black, red and cyan, and they are black when mixed together. They are more vicious than ordinary ghosts, and they are the first to act, and once the three-pollution sun arrives, even low-level ghosts dare to approach, do you understand?"
