Chapter 49: Life and Death Crisis

At that moment, the first thing I felt was not fear, but coldness, a coldness that penetrated my bones and heart, and even made my blood feel frozen. Of course, I knew what had embraced me.

I was just shocked that this ghost had such great power. In the moment it embraced me, it was able to make me feel a tangible touch. Apart from the lingering coldness, there was no substantial difference from being embraced by a real person.

Ghosts certainly do not have physical attributes, so the fact that they can have such an effect can only mean one thing: their influence on the human soul has reached a limit, to the point where they can influence the person’s physical world.

At that moment, my body was stiff, but my expression was calm. I felt like I had breathed once, and I felt like I was about to exhale frost. I suddenly roared, “Laugh at you!” Then the next moment, I snapped my hands back and forth, and the two blue talismans flew toward my waist.

The roar was naturally a Taoist roar. As soon as I entered the door, I had already begun to silently practice the technique. As for the two blue talismans, I had already had them in my hands when I opened the door and dropped the tools.

How could I not be prepared? In the world of ghosts, apart from a few, such as the little ghost who directly attacks humans with blood, most ghosts, including the extremely powerful ones, like to control and scare humans.

In the short time I entered the house, I looked around unintentionally, but in fact I was always on guard…

“You are very rude!” A few strands of cold hair fell from my shoulders, and a gloomy female voice rang in my ears. My hands were pushed away by an invisible force, and the two blue talismans could not be attached. The bright red runes on them turned into a pale red color that I could not describe.

The runes had lost their effect in a short moment! At the same time, I felt the hands that were holding me from behind suddenly tightened, as if they were strangling my stomach. Sharp nails were piercing my skin, and my white shirt was faintly red, as if blood was flowing out.

My forehead began to sweat profusely. The ghost of the demon Shura, no doubt, was a ghost of the demon Shura realm that could have such a great impact on the human body, and could actually harm the human body. What should I do? I asked myself. There was no way I could deal with the ghost of the demon Shura alone, just as there was no way I could deal with the little ghost alone.

There is a ghost in this small county, and I feel my temples throbbing.

But I am a Taoist priest, a descendant of the Li family, and the best news is that it is now the afternoon of the day, not after 11:00 p.m. The power of the ghost is limited, and I can’t just sit here and wait to die.

I bit my tongue to keep my soul clear, then closed my lips tightly, and concentrated my qi in my lower abdomen. At that moment, the yang qi in my whole body was outward, and I pressed my hands hard against my waist.

At this moment, I had already thrown away the two blue talismans in my hand. They had been corroded by the yin energy and were useless. I could only use the blood that had flowed from my body to draw the runes on the hands of the ghostly demon that was holding me around the waist, in order to have a chance to escape.

This is a pure game of ‘strength’, and this strength contains my lifelong skills, the soul power and spiritual power that I have always been proud of to fight against the ghost Shura…

It was so difficult to get close to it, let alone draw runes on it, but as long as there was even a slight chance, I had to fight for it. My whole body was covered in sweat, and my arms were slippery.

Without opening my third eye, I could clearly see another pair of pale, skinny, bony hands clasped tightly around my waist, but I didn’t notice one detail. At that moment, the agarwood beads that were hanging loosely on my wrist during the struggle slipped down a little more.

Slowly, it touched the pale, bony hands. Then, I saw one of the agarwood beads I had worn for decades suddenly burst into a flash of electric sparks, exploding on the bony hands. Then I heard a piercing scream, and then my whole body relaxed, and the coldness that had surrounded me instantly left me.

I fell to my knees with a thud. This was almost the most dangerous situation I had ever encountered, but I didn’t have time to catch my breath. I turned around suddenly, and my back hit the ice coffin placed in the center of the room. It hurt so much…

“Since you want to see, you can see as much as you want. I remember you, I remember you…” What came into my eyes was the heavy black curtain. A red back was walking towards the curtain, leaving a corner of the clothes and the echoing in the room, I remember you!

What is the purpose of remembering me? I wiped my face and found that my hands were covered in cold sweat. Did I just leave? What happened to my agarwood beads?

My mind seemed to be running out of steam. I couldn’t think of anything in that moment, and then I heard the sound of ‘pop, pop, pop’. The beads on my wrist had scattered all over the floor. I looked closely and saw that the beads that had just sparked had turned into coke-like existence, cracked into several pieces, including the string inside, so the beads were scattered.

However, I didn’t bother to pick up all the beads, I just grabbed two of them in my hand, stood up suddenly, put my middle finger in my mouth, and then rushed madly towards the curtain, then grabbed the curtain and pulled it…

There was nothing. The white sunlight outside the window suddenly shone into the room, dispersing some of the darkness and decaying atmosphere. But for me, this was not good news, but very bad news. I had actually been remembered by a ghost.

It was like an ordinary ghost being remembered by Jenny, the leader of the gang. My heart felt like a big stone had been shoved in, making it heavy. When I was a child, I had a master to protect me from the ghosts. Now, I was all alone, and according to the personality of the ghost, I had the lives of too many people on my shoulders.

The bright sunlight shone on me, but I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar. But… I let go of the middle finger in my mouth, clenched my teeth, clenched my fists, and the two agarwood beads in my palm hurt my palm.

But there won’t be a next time. I won’t sit back and wait to be killed, and I won’t let you kill my family, friends, and important people one by one.

I pushed open the window with a loud “whoosh,” took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, then walked over, opened the door, and the room finally brightened up, and everything in the room was finally clearly visible to me, not the foggy look it had just had.

The cabin was not large, and apart from an old-fashioned writing desk, it was dominated by an ice chest in the center of the room. The scene that made me feel sick was on the small bed.

On the bed was a leather man. From the exposed skin, it was clear that the skeleton inside was made of bamboo, covered with a layer of pigskin. Judging from the body type, it was a woman.

This is nothing, except that the leather man is made in an ugly abstract way, but the key point is that this leather man should be in the process of being gradually “full”!

I use the word “plump” because I can’t think of a more specific adjective to describe the current state of the leather man! It is a hollow leather man, but in many places, there are human organs.

For example, in the hollowed-out eye sockets, there were a pair of human eyes, in the nose, there was another human nose, and on the feet were human toes, and on the hands…

The skin on its stomach was also lifted up in a corner, and in the middle, according to a certain position, human internal organs were placed. I couldn’t describe it any more specifically, and I couldn’t look at it any more. The discomfort and convulsions from my stomach made me rush out of the door, squat in the corner, and dry heave!

In fact, I also felt that the souls of those ghost girls were being held captive in those organs. Once… not only would the girls’ bodies be used, but their souls would also be sacrificed!

“Chen Xiaoge? What’s wrong with you?” My state of mind attracted the attention of the police downstairs, who rushed upstairs with a ‘thump, thump, thump’ sound. This reaction was a bit exaggerated!

I didn’t stop them. The most dangerous presence had already left. They could come up. It was only after they came up that I realized that their reaction at the moment was not exaggerated at all!

Because someone had brought me a mirror from downstairs!
