Nightmare Apostle

Although he didn't hear any movement from inside the house, Xiang Fengchen could almost conclude that Zhang Songde, that good-for-nothing, must be causing trouble. Not only did he get himself involved, but he also wanted to kill them. If he had known better, he should have gotten rid of him in advance.

But it's too late to say anything now. The evil-suppressing ritual with the tortoise shell has not yet ended. If he withdraws at this moment, all his previous efforts will be wasted. He will suffer backlash. But if he does not withdraw, when the ghost in the well comes out, he and Nalan will be together. Shuo's life and death are also unpredictable.

At this moment, the experience and psychological quality of the veteran players are reflected. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been so frightened that they ran back to the room, closed the door, huddled on the bed, shivered, and maybe even screamed, but Nalan Shuo, Xiang Fengchen and the other two Just by looking at each other, they understood each other's plans.

The two decided not to leave and stayed to gamble.

Xiang Fengchen grabbed a handful of soil, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a while and then spit it out. He spread the soil that had turned into wet mud on the edge of the celadon bowl with his hands.

The bottom line tonight is that the bowl cannot be broken, otherwise he and Nalan Shuo will have to settle their fate here.

Nalan Shuo was not idle at this moment. He took out the last remaining incense from his arms. With a cruel heart, he inserted it between his fingers and broke it into two parts. Give it to yourself and give the other stove to Xiang Fengchen.

The sound of pulling the well rope became louder and louder. Just as a fat and pale palm emerged from the well mouth and slapped on the edge of the well with a "snap", Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen took a deep breath at the same time, and then Bite the end of the incense between your lips.

There was no way to avoid it. They had to face the drowned ghost in the end. As the bloated body crawled out in an extremely twisted posture, they finally saw the true face of the ghost. It was a woman, yes. It was so swollen that it was almost unrecognizable, but the clothes on her body were very gorgeous.

This scene was watched by Yang Xiao who was lying behind the door and peeping. His scalp was numb and he immediately recalled that the clothes on this ghost were familiar to him. They were the same as those on a statue they had seen in the Zhongyi Temple before. Dressed exactly the same.

This ghost is one of the prototype characters enshrined in the temple. It was a loyal man from the former dynasty who died to protect his old master.

And it was in this well that he died.

The drowned ghost who crawled out of the well was filled with an astonishing evil spirit. Even if he was hiding behind the door, Yang Xiao could feel the cold breath crawling in along the crack in the door. It can be imagined that at this moment, Director Nalan and Xiang Fengchen The impact suffered.

The ghost did not kill immediately, but walked stiffly around the mouth of the well, as well as Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen.

In fact, it is not a complete circle, it is more like walking aimlessly, but always within a certain range. Yang Xiaoxin raised his throat, and he understood that the ghost knew that someone was hiding near the mouth of the well. However, because of the fragrance in his mouth, the drowned ghost is still unable to determine the specific location of the two of them.

But this is only temporary. When the incense in their mouths burns out, they will both die. Yang Xiao, who had a similar experience not long ago, knows how powerful it is.

"Crack."

"Crack."

"Crack."

The drowned ghost's body swayed from side to side, and every step he took didn't feel like walking, but more like hitting his fat, rotten feet on the ground.

Under such circumstances, even a stove of incense cannot last for long, not to mention that Director Nalan and the other two only have half-rotten incense. Yang Xiao touched his chest. There was still an incense hidden in his clothes. That was Director Nalan. A life-saving incense left for him.

Just when Yang Xiao calmed down and thought, suddenly, an accident happened. The drowned ghost stopped and happened to be between Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen. Then, under Yang Xiao's nervous gaze, only Seeing the drowned ghost's plump body trembled at first, and then slowly expanded, the loose skin that had been soaked in the cold well water until it was translucent gradually filled up, and the whole body expanded by 5

More than one part.

The next second, Yang Xiao saw a horrifying scene. The incense heads in Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen's mouths suddenly turned dark red, burned violently, and burned one third of them at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The incense mist emitted by the burning seemed to be attracted by some kind of force. It gathered directly in front of the face of the drowned ghost and was greedily sucked into the body. This ghost was sucking incense!

This one sip directly took away one third of the fragrance. This sudden scene made Yang Xiao feel cold all over his body. If it continued like this, it would be over.

After taking a breath, the bloated body of the Drowned Ghost seemed to be deflated, and slowly returned to normal, then took out his feet and continued walking.

Under the thin moonlight, Yang Xiao saw that Director Nalan's face was pale. Xiang Fengchen was facing him sideways and could not see his face clearly, but it was conceivable that he did not look good.

The two of them, Nie on the left and Nie on the right, stood at the mouth of the well, motionless. Thinking about it, there was nothing they could do, otherwise they would never sit still and wait for death.

Yang Xiao had rarely been as desperate as he was now. He wanted to save people, but he didn't know how to do it. Taking rash actions would only harm the director.

Not long after, in Yang Xiao's almost collapsed eyes, the drowned ghost came back again after going around in a circle. This time it was still in the same place. After standing still, he took another deep breath, and the rotten flesh all over his body was trembling. From behind it looks like a hill of rotten meat, causing both psychological and physical discomfort to people.

No miracle happened. Another third of the incense was taken away with this sip. Only half of the incense on Director Nalan's mouth was left. There was no need to take another sip. It was just consumed like this. In a few minutes at most, the incense would burn out. , tonight is over for him.

But this time, Yang Xiao saw some clues. When the drowned ghost stayed between Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen, the shadows of the two on the ground changed. They were all pulled by some mysterious force and strangely moved towards the direction of the drowned ghost.

The drowned ghost began to circle again, but Yang Xiao knew that it would definitely come back, and the next time would be the time to harvest lives.

Yang Xiao stared at Director Nalan's face, and just as the drowned ghost circled back again, Yang Xiao suddenly found that his director's originally tense face suddenly relaxed. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he nodded to Xiang Fengchen beside him, as if he was telling him something, and a moment later, Xiang Fengchen also nodded gently.

The next second, Nalan Shuo turned his head to look in the direction of Yang Xiao, and then slowly turned around. This was the first time he made a big move, and it undoubtedly attracted the attention of the drowned ghost. The "click-click" footsteps suddenly accelerated and ran straight towards him.

With a "Yu" in his mind, Yang Xiao understood instantly. This was more like a deal. Nalan Shuo exchanged his life for Xiang Fengchen's life, and the price was that Xiang Fengchen had to protect him and take him out alive.

As expected, the drowned ghost came directly to Nalan Shuo this time, and Xiang Fengchen, who was ignored by the ghost, was already prepared. He would take advantage of the moment when the ghost killed Nalan Shuo to find an opportunity to break the situation.

Rather than both of them dying, it is better to die one. He thinks this deal is worthwhile. Although he doesn't get along with Nalan Shuo, he will do what he promised. This has nothing to do with his impression of Yang Xiao. Even if Yang Xiao is an unforgivable beast, he will do his best to take him out alive.

In terms of means, he believes that he is not inferior to Nalan Shuo, but when it comes to apprentices, there is really nothing to compare. He can't compare with ten of them. Sometimes he doesn't understand what people like Nalan Shuo are thinking. After all, if people don't work for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. If you keep the green mountains, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. If you have a master, will you be afraid of not having an apprentice?

Just like ten years ago, Nalan Shuo was still a fool. In order to help his subordinates get revenge, he chased him for a full ten years. But at this moment, Xiang Fengchen had to admit that this fool was still worthy of respect. No wonder his subordinates were willing to work for him.

Nalan Shuo, with his back to Yang Xiao, slowly closed his eyes. His life had come to an end, but Yang Xiao's life had just begun.

The next second, Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen couldn't help but tremble, and a "dong" sound came from not far behind them.

A heavy door was pushed open.
