Chapter 16: Dangerous
Thinking about this, I reached into my backpack and took out a roll of red thread. Then I turned and walked to the front door. During this process, Zhao Hong and Hui Gen’er followed me. Zhao Hong was simply scared, while Hui Gen’er knew as well as I did that a ghost with such a strong aura was definitely very “fierce.” To some extent, an aura can affect matter. After all, it can drive the flow of air. Wasn’t that just now the proof of the door?
Don’t underestimate the impact of this kind of material, it can be life-threatening in critical situations.
The turn of the road was not pleasant, there was always a faint laughter behind me, and I could always see a woman in the corner of my eye. I was walking in the front, and this level of “tricks” really didn’t affect me much, nor did it affect Huigen. It was just Zhao Hong who suffered.
A living ghost house tour.
I walked to the front door, and Zhao Hong asked hopefully, “Are you going out?”
I didn’t have time to explain. It was obvious that we had intruded into the house and angered the two men inside. We were still in the probing stage. If they became violent, there would be no time for this. Hui Gen and I didn’t mind, we could always find a way to escape. I still had to find a way to get some information out of these two men. But Zhao Hong was an ordinary person. Although I had given him the agarwood to wear on his hand, he accidentally got it on his hand, and it was still a problem!
Thinking about this, I put my hand on the doorknob and tried to open the door, but at this moment, my hand inexplicably went cold. I looked down and saw a bloody hand resting on my hand. Under the light of the flashlight, I could clearly see the meat that had been cut by the knife and rolled to the sides. It was a defeated color.
Although I’m not afraid of any ghosts, the situation in front of me still made my goose bumps rise from my arms to my back!
Zhao Hong was behind me, already screaming. As for Huigen’s reaction, I don’t know. All I know is that when I looked up, I saw a woman’s face with cuts all over it. I couldn’t even see her original face. Because the knife was so vicious, one of her eyeballs was almost out of its socket!
This was probably the most terrifying image of a ghost I had ever seen, and it was no wonder that Zhao Hong, a grown man, had screamed.
The female ghost smiled at me. Her teeth were actually very white, but the blood stains on them and her deformed lips made her look really unpleasant. At the same time, a low, floating voice entered my mind and my ears: “Are you going out?”
A wave of anger rose up from my heart. What is this? Is the ghost provoking the Taoist priest? If this were an ordinary person, they would be scared to death! They are unwilling to die, do they want to create more evil?
Almost without thinking, I let out a breath and shouted, “Get out of here!”
This kind of yelling, though seemingly simple, was actually quite difficult for me to use, because it was a kind of yelling that concentrated the spirit and energy in an instant, and then suddenly exploded with power, that is to say, it used the power of the soul to crush and drive away the evil spirits!
Because I had mobilized my spiritual power, the tiger, who had been sleeping all day, suddenly woke up and roared in the room with a majestic roar that seemed to be there but not there.
Zhao Hong was completely confused and asked stupidly, “Is there still a tiger?”
Under the combined effect of these two forces, the female ghost screamed and disappeared, while at the same time a man’s heavy snorting sound spread throughout the house.
Do I still care about this snort? I opened the door without thinking, but the doorway was filled with fog, and the courtyard was no longer visible. It was indeed a pair of fierce ghosts. I took the red string, took out one end, and quickly tied the red string to the doorknob in a special way. While tying it, I pulled Zhao Hong to my side, and then gave the bundle of red string to Huigen, saying, “Prepare about 30 meters, and then cut it short for me.”
Hui Gen responded, while Zhao Hong was in a semi-trance. At this point, if he wasn’t crazy, he must have had good mental fortitude.
Soon, I tied the knot on the doorknob, then I took the red rope and walked forward for a few steps, about one meter or so, and then I took the other end of the red rope from Huigen’er’s hand, took a copper coin out of my bag and quickly threaded it through, then I tied another knot… In this way, I tied the knot every few steps, wearing the copper coin, and the two ghosts didn’t come to harass me along the way.
I walked all the way upstairs, but I couldn’t see the stairs anymore. It wasn’t that I couldn’t see them, it was just that the simple path of a straight staircase had become a mess. Looking back, it was a corridor with doors on both sides! If someone who didn’t know the way tripped and fell, the consequences would be serious!
At this point, the red rope had reached the end. As I had estimated, I quickly tied the red rope around Zhao Hong’s wrist and explained to him simply, “This red rope is your guide rope. This is the only safe place in this house that I have judged. Don’t move. Don’t move. If I tell you to run later, you can shake the red rope to see the way clearly. Grab the red rope and walk forward. It still won’t dare to get close because the copper coins on the red rope are special copper coins, the money of ten thousand people, full of yang energy! It’s enough to keep you running out!”
Zhao Hong was after all a special forces soldier, and he was very scared, but he had an amazing ability to adapt to his environment. He asked me in a trembling voice, “Why didn’t you let me go out when you opened the door just now?”
I was looking for something in my backpack and said simply, “You just saw what happened in the courtyard. Can you get out alone? And if I let you go out like this, I don’t know if you’ll be safe after you go out. What if one of them follows you? You’ll be safest if you’re with me. And when I tell you to run, it’s because I and Huigen will have held off the two guys! When you run and you can’t see clearly when you get to the courtyard, sprinkle a little of this in the air and you’ll be able to get out. After you get out, wait for me at the gate of the villa area. Don’t stay alone in a place with people. That’s it.”
While talking, I slipped a bottle into Zhao Hong’s hand. I regretted bringing him along. If I hadn’t been afraid of the trouble of finding a place myself and wanted him to lead the way, how could I have gotten him into such a dangerous situation?
Zhao Hong took a deep breath, clenched the bottle and asked, “What’s in it?”
“Something to restrain the yin energy. The main ingredient is cock’s comb blood. Satisfied?” I said quickly.
Zhao Hong nodded, and even stood straight in the room, as if that way he wouldn’t be afraid!
After all this, I turned to Huigen and said, “Let’s go to the scene of the murder.” Huigen had already taken off his shirt at some point. He seemed very hot, but he was actually mobilizing some kind of power. Under the boiling blood and qi, a blood-red vajra statue appeared and disappeared.
I looked at it and thought it was strange. If I guessed correctly, this kind of dark tattoo could only be done with special blood and in a special way. I don’t know if Master Hui’s lineage has a tattoo of its own, but compared to Master Hui’s lifelike tattoo of the evil Luohan, Hui Gen’er’s tattoo seems to be of a higher level.
Before I could ask Hui Gen anything, Zhao Hong’s strong and calm voice came from behind: “Are you leaving already?”
I turned back helplessly and said to Zhao Hong, “You’re here, you’re still wearing the agarwood beads, you’re not as unlucky as me, you won’t be affected by hallucinations, stay here at ease, this is the safest place.”
It was clear that Zhao Hong really didn’t want to stay here, but there was no other way, so he could only nod.
The moment I turned around, I had already opened my third eye, and so did Hui Gen. Under the third eye, the entire house was enveloped in a blood-red light. The villa was very large, and we both saw the room at the end of the corridor. The blood-red murderous light was almost real, and the shadow of a man was standing in front of the door of that room, but it was too dim to see clearly!
I didn’t mean to see clearly, but the man seemed to sense my approach with Huigen, and he disappeared into the room in a flash.
“Hui Gen, what’s on your body?”
“Diamond pattern!”
“I mean, is it pigeon blood?”
“That’s so easy to get infected. This is the treasure of our family line. It is the blood of a high monk in our ancestors, preserved in a special way. This blood is extremely compatible with me, and it is only with this blood that the tattoo was done.”
“Fuck, isn’t this the same blood type? You guys are really advanced, you thought of this method so early!” I joked, but I also knew that this was actually a very serious inheritance.
Before we knew it, we had reached the front door, and the blood-red glare almost made my eyes swell!
