Chapter 60: A Frightening Night and the Mystery of the Village (3)

“If the ghost Rakshasa is trying to lure someone’s soul, there are very few people in this world who can keep their minds clear and resist it.

“Can you, Master?” I sighed, resting my chin in my hand. “I think not. You love to sit on the street and watch the girls, and if the ghost Rakshasa was just a little prettier, you would have followed her without being seduced.”

“Hey, hey… what are you talking about? Sanwa, are you itching? If I am on guard, I have a fifty-fifty chance of not being bewitched by it. If I am completely unprepared, well…”

“Master, what if you are possessed? You said that visible things that eat people are hungry ghosts, and invisible ghosts don’t eat people. Except for the ghost Rakshasa, which can swallow human flesh and blood to replenish itself, if you are possessed, won’t you be eaten?

“What should I do? In any case, you can’t just sit there and wait to die. If there is a small chance that you can wake up, remember to keep as much distance as possible. You can use all kinds of methods to fight ghosts, or you can buy some time and escape! If it is attached to you, you can temporarily get rid of it by pressing your tongue against your upper jaw and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Ordinary people…”

In the moment of fear, I remembered the distant past. In the bamboo forest cottage, on a warm night, my master took out a book and explained to me the past of various ghosts and monsters. That was the thing I looked forward to most after a day of exhausting cultivation, because children are always curious about the unknown, but not afraid.

Of course, the famous ghost Rakshasa was also a case in point. After all, the legend of ghosts and monsters eating people originated from the ghost Rakshasa, but later the hungry ghosts ‘fished in the muddy water’ and made it even more popular.

Thanks to my powerful soul, I was extra vigilant and was able to wake up at this moment!

Thinking back to the past, at this moment of crisis and fear, a wave of warmth uncontrollably rose in my heart. The smile on my master’s face seemed to instill courage in my heart, and I instantly calmed down.

The ghost Rakshasa was still laughing in my arms, but the hands that were holding me were getting tighter and tighter. The pain from the wound was negligible, but what made the situation even more critical was that at this moment, the power (spiritual power, martial arts power, etc.) in my body was suppressed by an invisible force, and I couldn’t use it at all. Even the stupid tiger was awakened at this moment, roaring in the depths of my soul, but it was also suppressed and couldn’t move at all.

No wonder there are thousands of ways to do it, but my master told me to use my tongue to press against my palate and spit out a mouthful of blood.

“You are not an ordinary person.” The ghost Rakshasa finally stopped its terrifying laughter and suddenly spoke, no longer the kind of intoxicating tenderness, but a kind of cold and ruthless horror.

I didn’t pay any attention to it, but I couldn’t let it know what I was doing. I could only pretend to be horrified and look at it, pretending to be so scared that I couldn’t speak.

“Your spiritual power is very strong, hehehe… you were able to wake up, but the bigger reason is that woman named Ru Xue, hehehe…” Just like the first time it hugged me from behind, its sharp nails had already pierced into my back as it spoke, and a cold feeling spread out. The feeling of being frozen from the inside was so strange.

I felt my blood flowing, flowing through the ghost Rakshasa’s nails, flowing to its hands, but not a single drop fell to the ground, all disappeared! I felt a kind of intoxicating intoxication appear on its face, and its eyes became blurred.

Is this how it is going to kill me?

I forced myself to calm down. At this moment, the spell on my mouth was completed. I suddenly bit my tongue. The pain and the smell of blood instantly filled my mouth. In an instant, a mouthful of blood spurted out and splattered on the intoxicated face of the ghost Rakshasa.

“Ah…” The ghost retracted his hands, instinctively covering his face and letting out a piercing scream. I didn’t care about the coldness of my body, and turned and ran a few steps forward.

Then I stopped and summoned Silly Tiger the next moment!

I knew that running blindly would not help me escape, and my master had also said that if I wanted to create distance, I would have to use every possible method. I had only bought myself a moment’s respite.

In fact, there is no better way, that is, the string of agarwood beads in my hand. However, after so many years, the string of agarwood beads that my master gave me in its entirety has lost some of its luster. If I use it again, it will turn into ashes. I don’t want to use it unless I have no choice.

After Shatu came out, he squinted his eyes, stomped his paws, and hovered in front of me, but he never dared to get close to the ghost Rakshasa. His fur stood on end, and his tail was bent at a terrified angle. It was obvious that Shatu was also a little scared, just like when he was a little scared of the ghost!

“Brother, help me stall for a moment.” I conveyed my thoughts to Silly Tiger. I was summoned out of my body, and I didn’t have any talismans on hand. I had already lost the time to merge my soul with Silly Tiger’s. The best and most effective way to deal with this extremely evil ghost is naturally lightning. With my current abilities, I can use the Five Thunder Technique without spending a lot of time or using the Tao of the Underworld. Moreover, lightning is loud and might wake them up, and they might get reinforcements. First, I scared off the ghost Rakshasa…

Shatu roared in response! Unfortunately, my blood on the tip of my tongue and the “empty mouth talisman” only made the ghostly Rakshasa “squeal” once, and it completely recovered. At this moment, it looked up at me and Shatu, and its expression on its face was even more hideous!

Fate is a cycle. When I dealt with the hungry ghost back then, I used the same method, but I didn’t have any power at all back then… Now, the same method can at least make a vengeful ghost unable to get up, but for the ghost Rakshasa…

“You won’t die. You’ll become a promise that you’ll fall in love with me completely and never betray me for the rest of your life. Hahaha… I never intended to kill you in the first place!” The ghost Rakshasa suddenly spoke to me.

As he spoke, the ghost suddenly raised his hands and appeared in front of Silly Tiger in an instant. Silly Tiger suddenly bent over, as if he had been greatly frightened. After all, speed was Silly Tiger’s advantage, but he didn’t want the ghost to be faster.

I knew that at this moment, I had no other choice but to remain calm. I was comforting Silly Tiger while I began to close my eyes and recite the incantation. The arrogant and deranged voice of the ghost roared in my ear, “It’s useless, it’s useless…”

I heard the roar of Silly Tiger, followed by the mad voice of the ghost Rakshasa. They had already begun to fight!

I was tormented by the soul-wrenching pain. After all, Silly Tiger and I were connected by our souls. As the years passed, it became stronger and stronger. I could clearly feel that the ghost demon had easily torn off one of Silly Tiger’s claws. Silly Tiger let out a howl of pain that shook the heavens!

You have to know that Silly Tiger is no longer the stupid tiger of the past. It has evolved in the old forest and its abilities have greatly increased.

I endured, quickly pressing the hand gestures, but at that moment, I felt a moment of confusion from the soul, not my confusion, but the confusion of Silly Tiger!

At that moment, the scarred Shahu suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes had lost their liveliness, and his head was lying on the knees of the ghost Raksha. The ghost Raksha, with a sneer, stroked Shahu’s big head, and Shahu emitted a numb, unconscious purr, and looked like he was about to fall asleep completely.

I was concentrating on the hand movements, and I could feel all of this, but I couldn’t be distracted. I couldn’t call out to Silly Tiger, and I could only watch as the ghost demon looked at me with a fierce expression, then let go of Silly Tiger, who was already in a weakened state, and floated toward me.

Saihu! My heart ached, not knowing what kind of harm Saihu would suffer as a result. I should never have let him out. I never thought that Saihu, who could still fight with the little demon, would not be able to withstand a minute of confrontation with the ghost Rakshasa.

The little ghost doesn’t have that powerful ability to confuse!

Hurry, hurry! Several drops of sweat dripped from my forehead. Do I really have to use the agarwood beads in my hand? The speed of the ghost Rakshasa was extremely fast, and in an instant, it was less than a meter away from me!

I couldn’t use the Five Thunder Technique anymore, and I had to stop the spell. The power of my soul concentrated, and the backlash of forcibly stopping the thought struck me instantly.

“Wow,” I spat out a mouthful of blood. The demon looked at me with a look of smugness. It said to me, “A man who betrays can only be eaten bite by bite. What use is he to betray? He will be my flesh and blood for life, staying in my body.”

I was horrified, and took off the agarwood beads on my wrist and held them in front of me.

In the distance of the village, a series of dog barks sounded, accompanied by noisy voices and footsteps. Is someone coming? I heard the sound a long time ago, and it is already very close to me now. My position is at the entrance of the village, facing the exit to the Lake of a Thousand Demons!
