Chapter 12: Female Ghost (Seeking Collection)
Lemon Mountain Execution Ground, the temperature suddenly dropped, Li Meng and Bao Ren were both shivering with cold, they were surrounded by black fog, and couldn't see their surroundings at all.
Occasional sounds of Zhang Daoshi chanting incantations came from around them, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes in front or behind, making it difficult for the two of them to distinguish under the interference of the illusion, which also gave them a headache.
Rumors say that the Migu can also break through illusions, but now he doesn't even carry it on him! Li Mang's heart was filled with regret. In order to avoid being investigated, he had hidden that piece of Migu in the Shanhaijing world, and now it seemed inconvenient to go back and retrieve it. He could only stand still, not even daring to open his eyes, but the more he did so, the more fearful his heart became.
"Hah!"
A gloomy and mysterious female voice came from all directions at the same time, striking their souls.
"Ghosts... ghosts... female ghost, don't come over!" Bao Ren's terrified cry, still instinctively backing away. Originally, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but open his eyes, and when he did, he saw some unclean things, which scared him to the point of having a deathly pale face with no blood color visible.
"If you don't want to die, close your eyes! Can't you see that even Li Meng can hold on?" came Zhang Daoshi's angry shout from the front.
In the dark of night, Li Mang bit his lip, and the umbrella he was holding almost slipped from his grasp. In fact, he really wanted to say that it wasn't him who could hold on, but he was just afraid to look. However, considering that saying anything would be futile, he wisely chose to remain silent, only letting his upper and lower teeth engage in an internal struggle.
Bao Ren shut his mouth, and with a cold sweat, he stopped retreating. His entire body was trembling, and the sweat kept pouring out, instantly soaking his clothes.
Actually, he didn't see anything either, just a disheveled and pale-skinned woman emerging from the clouds.
It seemed like nothing to be afraid of, but being in the situation made anyone feel their scalp numb, and what made Bao Ren's throat dry was that the female ghost's eyes were staring at him fixedly. Two green eyeballs flowed with evil light, this scene really made people suffocate.
Although he had closed his eyes, Bao Ren still felt the female ghost constantly approaching him. This feeling made him feel suffocated, and despite being scolded by Zhang Daoshi, he couldn't help but quietly move his heels back, his body shaking violently.
"You're a human and a ghost are different, why don't you go to reincarnation, but instead stay in a place where you shouldn't be! You'll definitely fall into the animal path if you continue like this!" Zhang Daoshi scolded.
"Stinky Taoist, mind your own business! Beastly Tao? Be careful or I'll dig out your heart and feed it to the dogs!" The female ghost seemed to be sneering, but her voice was icy cold.
"You can turn souls into ghosts, which is a rare and precious thing. You should accumulate good deeds, not do evil or harm to others!" Zhang Daoshi held his sword in his right hand and pinched the talisman with his left, looking stern and just.
"Hmph! Stinky Taoist, no idle chatter, watch closely!"
"With heaven clear and earth at peace, the army follows the seal's rotation, and will soon execute the order..."
Bang...
"Ah......this female ghost actually has fifty years of Taoist practice!"
"Hmph! Fifty years? You stinky Taoist, you're underestimating me too much, die!"
"Hmmph..."
Although nothing can be seen, the eyes can still hear the sound of fighting, and the heart only feels suffocated, but it's neither here nor there, and can only close its eyes and wait blindly, with both feet kicking.
Things are getting worse, Zhang Daoshi has used all his magic tricks, but still falls short, although he can't see it, Li Meng can hear the reason, and his heart is getting more anxious. If things go on like this, there's a risk of waiting for death! How can people be at ease?
"Cough cough, you guys think of a way to leave quickly, I'm no match for her for the time being, need to go back and prepare first!" Zhang Daoshi's voice was somewhat strange.
"Zhang Daoshi, you're cheating us! How can we leave in this state now!" Li Meng couldn't help but scold, and Bao Ren also joined him for the first time, but didn't dare to say anything. They are still in the illusion now, if they run around randomly, who knows whether they will fall off the cliff or not.
"Heaven and earth are natural, filthy air disperses, the cave is mysterious and empty, shining brightly with the great origin. Evil filth disperses, the Dao energy remains forever - Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Incantation!" Zhang Daoshi chanted an incantation, and suddenly a golden light burst forth from Mount Cang's execution grounds, driving away the suffocating death energy that had been covering the sky.
"Heh heh!" The female ghost sneered, her sharp fingernails swiping towards Zhang Daoshi's face.
"Hmph......" Although Zhang Daoshi dodged in time, he was still at a disadvantage, and his face was scratched with several bloody marks. The wounds oozed out black blood, obviously poisonous.
Zhang Daoshi was injured while trying to save Li Meng and Bao Ren, but the two were heartless and ruthless. As soon as they regained their long-lost sense of direction, their originally soft feet suddenly became strong, and they casually threw away the umbrella, transforming into top Olympic athletes, with their legs running at a frequency beyond human capabilities. Of course, compared to Li Meng, Bao Ren was not weak, but when Li Meng got on the bus, Bao Ren had only walked halfway.
One is that Li Meng is relatively young, and after being tempered by the wild chicken, his body has surpassed that of ordinary people. The speed at which he escapes is naturally not comparable to that of Bao Ren, who is middle-aged.
"Take the maze!" Li Meng saw that Bao Ren was still not far away, his uneasy heart skipped a beat, and he hastily summoned the Shan Hai Jing from his heart position, opened the Nan Shan Jing map and drilled in.
The person in the passenger seat suddenly disappeared, but a few seconds later Li Meng returned, tightly grasping a section of plant in his hand, which was precisely the Manjusaka. However, no one saw any of this.
Bang!
Bao Ren hastily scrambled into the driver's seat, his hands shaking violently as he tried to start the car several times but failed. In a panic, he turned to Li Mang beside him for help: "Li... Secretary, can you drive?"
"No way!" Li Meng replied stiffly, but lighting the fire was no problem, and with a few swift movements, he successfully lit it.
"Boom......" Bao Ren didn't even think about it, and he stepped on the accelerator fiercely.
"Wait a minute, you don't want to be in charge anymore, do you? Zhang Daoshi hasn't even come out yet!" Li Meng hastily pulled down the handbrake and looked at him with disdain.
“…this, I’m too nervous!” Bao Rendryly said, if he hadn’t retained his last bit of sanity, he would have even said forget being the department head. Of course, just thinking about it, he had also signed a lifelong contract with Yan Huang, it wasn’t like he could just quit whenever he wanted.
"Thud thud thud......"
A hurried footsteps came from the opposite execution ground, followed by Zhang Daoshi's shout: "Start the car quickly, I'll jump on the roof!"
"Hurry up!" Li Mao urged Bao Ren, because he saw a white figure floating in from the opposite side, which scared him so much that his face turned pale.
"Humming!!"
Bao Ren nervously and hastily started the off-road vehicle.
"Whoa!" Outside, Zhang Daoshi jumped high and landed accurately on the roof of the car, grabbing the handrail with both hands. His agility was indeed impressive. However, today he had none of his usual dignified demeanor, shouting loudly in a flustered tone: "Fast! Fast! Fast!"
"Hmm..."
Its off-road performance is pretty good. With Bao Ren stepping on the accelerator so fiercely, it shot forward like an arrow.
"Female ghost, you'd better behave, look out!" However, Zhang the Taoist on top of the carriage still had to deal with the female ghost's entanglement, stumbling and struggling, extremely miserable.
"Hah!"
The eerie cry that reached his ears made Li's hair stand on end, and at the same time, he had a faintly ominous premonition. Turning back to look, he found Bao Ren very tense, stepping on the accelerator with all his might, causing the car to shake violently, and the chassis making a rattling sound.
"No, it's impossible for asphalt roads to make this kind of sound!" Li Mang finally sensed something was off and looked up ahead, his face turning green with fright! It turned out that the off-road vehicle had already left the highway and was heading straight towards the cliff!
It was strange that Bao Ren's face was tense, but his eyes were still staring straight ahead, and he didn't even notice that he had strayed off course!
"Hit the wall!"
Li Mang exclaimed, tightly grasping the steering wheel, no longer daring to hesitate, and suddenly turned it sharply to the left.
"Rustle... Bang!"
The car crashed into the mountain, fortunately the car had just started and the impact was not strong. The two people in the car were pushed against the windshield due to inertia, but only got a slight injury, no serious harm.
It was Zhang Daoshi on the roof of the car who was more pitiful. He was busy dealing with the female ghost and didn't know what was happening to the car, which had crashed into the mountain. The whole person was thrown out and hit the mountain before falling back onto the roof of the car. Poor him, he was just a Taoist priest, his martial arts skills were not bad, but his physical quality was only average, this time it almost cost him half his life.
"What the...! What kind of plane is this?! Hurry up and leave!" Zhang Daoshi cursed angrily on top of the car, but seeing the female ghost about to catch up from behind, he quickly urged them on.
"Oh oh......"
Bao Ren glanced in the direction of the cliff, wiped away the cold sweat that was pouring out like a spring on his forehead, quickly reversed the vehicle and frantically sped forward.
