Chapter 67: Entering the Ghost Mist

“It should be the kid we sent to contact the higher-ups. We can’t afford to waste any time. I’ll risk it and go save him.” Zheng said with a pale face.

The reason he judged it to be the villager was because almost all the villagers here carry these flares with them. If it were Lushan, he wouldn’t have this kind of flare.

“I’m going, I’m going, I’m going!” Zheng Dajia asked Yun Po to get his bag of magic equipment, but at this time Tao Bai suddenly jumped out and was about to rush out of the house.

He was so strong that I went to pull him, but he dragged me a few steps. In the end, it took several men to hold him down and slow him down a bit, but a more comical scene also appeared, where several of us men were slowly dragged along by him.

At this point, Zheng’s bag of magic tools had already been taken out. When he saw this scene, he growled in a gloomy voice, “Stop messing around. Now that the situation is like this, no one can leave the house. Light the calamus.”

Before that, the calamus had already been sprinkled with flammable alcohol. At this time, Master Zheng gave the order, and two torches were immediately thrown at the calamus!

With a loud bang, the flames shot up into the sky. The smoke from the burning calamus had a faint smell of blood and was a strange pale red color.

The calamus began to burn, and the smoke immediately spread in the direction of the ghostly mist. A miraculous thing happened in an instant. The smoke was slowly pushing back the ghostly mist, and the ghosts in the mist also smelled the smoke from the calamus and were screaming and retreating, hiding in the mist!

My face showed a hint of surprise, but Zheng said with a sigh, “It can only buy time. I’ll go save him.” Then he started to walk!

At this moment, Tao Bai, who was always shy and low-key, suddenly burst out like an explosion, roared and dragged us forward a few steps, then shouted, “I’m going. I know it’s Brother Lushan in there!”

I was stunned. Is it Lushan in there? Why is Tao Bai so sure? If it is Lushan, how can I let Zheng go to risk his life? I suddenly stopped Zheng and said loudly, “Zheng, come back. Let me go. You are still needed here to take charge of the situation!”

“You go?” Zheng’s eyes were full of doubt. Obviously, I was younger than him, and even with the help of the blood calamus, he didn’t believe I had the ability to go deep into the ghost tide!

“I am a descendant of Old Li.” I didn’t explain much, I just used my master’s name to get ahead, and then turned around and told Chengyuan to go get my yellow cloth bag.

Chengyuan was obviously hesitant, so I glared at him and shouted, “Hurry up!”

Chengyuan dared not hesitate any longer and immediately rushed into the house to get the yellow cloth bag for me. I reassured Tao Bai: “Don’t worry, strength is not very useful against ghosts. I’ll go with you right away.”

Tao Bai turned and looked at me in surprise, asking, “Are you really going with me?”

I nodded solemnly!

Over there, after hearing me yell out that I was a descendant of Old Li, Mr. Zheng finally came back and handed me something, saying, “Be careful in everything. This thing can keep you sane!”

I spread out my hand and saw that what Zheng gave me was a rectangular jade plaque with some complicated runes engraved on it. I recognized it at a glance. Strictly speaking, this jade plaque should be a rare jade talisman. The power of such talismans is naturally not as good as purple talismans or above, but according to the characteristics of jade, this kind of talisman is a long-term talisman, and it generally does not seal powerful spells. It is all about calming the mind and improving it.

The jade talisman Zheng gave me was relatively advanced, and the spell it sealed was actually similar to the spell of the meditation technique. For a jade talisman, such a spell was already quite difficult, but I had a string of agarwood beads, so I didn’t need this jade talisman. I handed it to Tao Bai and told him to keep it close to his chest!

Xiao Chengqian was already shouting to go with me. I guessed that Master Xiao was getting hot-blooded again, so I glared at him and sent him back. Then Chengyuan took out my yellow cloth bag and handed it to me. He looked like he wanted to say something, but seeing that I was in a hurry to leave, he could only stammer out, “Chengyi, be careful.”

I nodded and glanced at everyone. They all looked worried. I guess they were afraid of causing me a burden, so they all kept their words in their stomachs!

Over there, the smoke from the blood calamus had already forced the ghost fog back a certain distance, revealing a safe distance again. Originally, it was going to go deep into the ghost fog for about 300 meters, but now it only needs to rush in for more than 100 meters to be able to see the person to be rescued.

“Tao Bai, when you go into the ghost fog, hold onto my sleeve and follow me. Don’t stop for a moment, understand?” As I spoke, I tore off my own string of agarwood beads, and without thinking about the large amount of them, I put them in my mouth.

Then I took out a stack of the most common talismans from the yellow cloth bag and pasted them on almost all the key positions on my and Tao Bai’s bodies. Finally, I took out the whisk that my master left me in the Dragon Tomb and ran towards the ghost fog with Tao Bai without looking back.

At this moment, there was almost no way to think, because the road ahead was like a huge cliff. I had no idea if I would fall off, so I might as well not think about it!

The 300-meter distance was completed in less than a minute at a trotting pace. The ghost fog was rolling within 5 meters of us, with faint shadows inside. Needless to say, it was those evil spirits!

I took a deep breath, let Tao Bai hold my clothes, and then, with a breath held in, I rushed into the ghostly mist!

The moment I entered the ghost fog, my whole body broke out in large goose bumps. Before I could even experience anything, I felt a coldness that affected the depths of my soul explode in my body, almost freezing me!

“It’s a little cold!” Tao Bai regained his deadly shyness, and his voice came from behind me. He held my clothes tightly in one hand, but I had to admire him. His blood was so vigorous that the coldness in this ghostly mist only made him feel a little cold!

In the fog, the world in front of me had changed. It was no longer the familiar little village, but a dark black water surface without light in a surging black cloud. In the distance, there were some vague black mountains, right in the middle of the water!

Tao Bai and I stood at the entrance, but after two seconds, we discovered that we were walking in water, and the water was gradually drowning us!

This is the world of yin qi, which can seriously affect a person’s soul and cause incredible hallucinations. Don’t think that this is ultimately an illusion and harmless. Just like the world in the thick fog at the entrance to the deserted village, this kind of hallucination, if not resisted by a strong will, can directly harm the soul.

There was no “human figure” at the entrance, but when I looked up, I saw a large number of human figures, or ghosts, gathered within a distance of less than 20 meters. The intrusion of Tao Bai and I was as conspicuous as two searchlights suddenly lighting up in the dark. In an instant, the eyes of all the ghosts fell on Tao Bai and me!

“Heh heh heh…” “Come here, come here…” Various floating voices sounded almost at the same time, and the ghosts began to float towards Tao Bai and me. The pale faces of the ghosts, who had various normal and terrifying appearances, all wore strange smiles and looked at Tao Bai and me happily.

It was as if they were saying, “Welcome to the horror night party!”

I can only comfort myself in this way, it is a party, because even if I know that the world in front of me is an illusion, I cannot dispel this illusionary scene! In this case, the only thing that can be done is speed, to save people at a very fast speed, otherwise, with so many ghosts, once the confusion deepens, we will be doomed forever!

Fortunately, the ghost Rakshasa did not appear, and these ghosts could not cause any physical harm!

Open the heavenly eye! So many thoughts, but only three or four seconds. In the next moment, I had already opened the heavenly eye in time. If I didn’t open the heavenly eye, in this illusion, even if I were given another hundred years, I still wouldn’t be able to find the people I wanted to save. Even if I passed by them, I wouldn’t necessarily be able to find them.

The heavenly eye opened, and the terrifying illusionary world finally disappeared, turning into a large black energy flow that filled the sky and earth. In the blur, the familiar scenery of the village once again appeared, but unfortunately, every place was filled with ghostly light points!

None of them were normal ghostly light spots, they were all pale red or dark red, almost all were fierce ghosts!

I didn’t dare to think about it. With so many evil spirits, I was afraid that even my master would not be able to eliminate them. My ability would only allow me to stay inside for five minutes at most, or maybe not even that long!

The scenery of the village appeared, so it was easy to deal with. I confirmed the direction and began to rush towards it at a very fast speed. Tao Bai was holding onto the hem of my clothes, but he was still able to keep up with my speed!

However, as soon as we moved, the ghosts began to rush towards us like the rising tide of the sea!

Suddenly, a talisman on my body fell off without any wind. A wry smile appeared on my face, and it began…
