Chapter 292 The unlucky ghost Bai Youyou
"What, you said you were attacked by a female ghost last night?"
In the courtyard of Yizhuang, Li Yun looked at Ye Chen with a bag of red paper in surprise.
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "To be precise, I attacked her. She didn't really attack me."
Li Yun frowned, walked up behind Ye Chen, and took out a flat iron piece the size of a button from behind his collar.
Ye Chen was shocked when he saw this, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What is this, a bug? Did you put a bug on me?"
Li Yun glanced at him: "Don't be narcissistic. I have no interest in your private life. This is not a bug, but a magic weapon made by my friend. It will automatically appear when you are attacked and protect you. like this……"
With that said, Li Yun handed the iron piece of the button to Ye Chen, then pointed at Ye Chen like a knife and struck at Ye Chen like lightning.
In an instant, the button-sized magic weapon lit up with blue light, and a light blue Qi shield instantly enveloped Ye Chen's body.
Just when he was about to touch the blue Qi shield, Li Yun's palm sword suddenly stopped with incomparable precision.
The whistling airflow turned into a violent wind, whizzing past the blue Qi shield covering Ye Chen's body, blowing the fallen leaves that Uncle Jiu had swept into the corner all over the sky.
It was only then that Ye Chen realized what he was doing and stared blankly at the palm knife and blue Qi shield hovering in front of him.
Li Yun put away his palm and said calmly: "Did you see it? This magic weapon will detect malice and automatically protect the owner. You didn't activate the magic weapon last night, which shows that what you said is true. The female ghost did not have any malice, and she did not mean anything to her. You attack..."
Otherwise, the protective magic weapon he had hidden on Ye Chen would have been activated long ago.
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard it. Suddenly he felt a lightness in his hand and quickly lowered his head, only to realize that the button-sized magic weapon had been taken away by Li Yun.
"Hey, Brother Li!"
Ye Chen spoke quickly, with a hint of reluctance in his tone.
Li Yun said angrily: "This is a one-time use. It will be discarded after use. If you really want it, I will give you another one later."
So that’s it!
Ye Chen nodded quickly in agreement, fearing that Li Yun would regret it.
Li Yun put away the magic weapon, picked up the broom at the base of the wall, and while sweeping the fallen leaves blown by the wind, he said: "You came to me so early not just because of the female ghost, right? There is something else. Say it!"
Ye Chen nodded, ran to the door, looked around, made sure there was no one around, then closed the door of Yizhuang, then returned to Li Yun, and lowered his voice to tell what happened last night.
Hearing the female ghost's invitation and the poem she recited, Li Yun couldn't help but hesitate in sweeping the floor.
"Another time traveler?"
Li Yun looked at Ye Chen in surprise.
Ye Chen nodded solemnly: "And she's also a female ghost."
"……interesting."
Li Yun held the broom with great interest, wondering why there were more than one time traveler in the recent worlds, and the Harry Potter world next door seemed to have two time travellers.
Ye Chen carefully looked at Li Yun's expression and whispered tentatively: "Brother Li, what do you say?"
Li Yun came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What else can I say? Let's go, I will accompany you to meet her for a while!"
Ye Chen calmed down and looked happy. He quickly took the broom from Li Yun and left Yizhuang with him.
…
…
There is an ancient saying that I would rather sleep in a deserted grave than live in a wild temple.
In the normal world, the reason why this proverb can be passed down is mainly because those outlaws such as bandits and bandits, in order to avoid being hunted by the government, do not dare to go to regular inns, so they often choose to rest in ruined temples outside the city.
The temple only has doors and windows for escape. Ordinary passers-by are likely to die if they encounter him on the narrow road in such a place.
Even if there are no criminals, just ordinary beggars, it is difficult for them to live in the same room with peace of mind. Especially when it rains, there will be many snakes, insects and beasts coming to the ruined temple in the wilderness to take shelter from the rain and cold.
In the world of gods and ghosts where Uncle Jiu lives, this proverb has other meanings and risks.
Like that kind of ruined temple that has been abandoned for a long time in a remote suburb, the incense has long been gone, and the gods worshiped inside no longer pay attention to it. Instead, some unclean things will be attracted and gathered here.
The wild temple about fifteen miles northwest of Renjiazhuang is a typical example.
Ye Chen carefully opened the temple door, but before he could walk in, a cold breath hit his face, making him shiver.
"There are a lot of ghosts gathered in this temple, and the ghost energy is gloomy. You have no cultivation, and it is easy for the evil wind to enter your body. You'd better retreat behind me!"
Li Yun's faint voice came from behind. Ye Chen nodded and retreated behind Li Yun calmly.
Sure enough, when he came to Li Yun, the surrounding air suddenly became warmer, and the cold wind blowing from the temple was no longer biting, but instead felt like the coolness and comfort of the seaside in summer.
"Brother Li is indeed very advanced!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but praise him, and decided to follow Li Yun closely and never leave him within three steps.
Li Yun smiled slightly, strode into the temple, and glanced around with interest.
What was different from what he expected was that although this wild temple was deserted and old, it was not dilapidated, and there was no air leakage on all sides. Only the statues of the gods enshrined on the altar were dilapidated, and some even had their heads missing. Only half of the body is left.
Seeing this scene, Li Yun thought to himself that these female ghosts were so courageous that they even dared to desecrate the statues of gods.
But then, he discovered something wrong. After all, Li Yun had visited major Buddhist and Taoist temples in other worlds. Through the details of the broken statues, he could easily identify that these statues did not seem to be the official Taoist statues. Gods, let alone the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of Buddhism, should be wild temples built by some mountain spirits and wild monsters who have become spirits.
No wonder Uncle Jiu and Renjiazhuang didn't repair this ruined temple...
While Li Yun was thinking this, he said loudly: "Girl, Brother Ye and I have been invited here, why don't you come out and meet us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dark wind in the temple. Ye Chen's heart immediately tightened and he quietly took another step closer to Li Yun.
But for some reason, there was only a dark wind blowing in the temple, and not even a single ghost appeared.
Just when Ye Chen was suspicious, a faint voice suddenly came from the broken statue in front of the altar table.
"Brother Li, please retreat to the door. If you stand in front of me, I can't come out."
"..."
Li Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and retreated to the door helplessly, looking at the broken statue in the center.
"What now?"
"..."
The broken statue did not answer, but a wisp of green smoke came out from it and condensed into shape in front of the altar table.
It was a tall young girl dressed in white, with a delicate appearance.
This should be the real owner!
Li Yun and Ye Chen couldn't help but look at each other.
After hesitating for a while, Ye Chen took the lead and said: "Girl, I wonder if the girl in red from last night is here. I have brought her the red paper she asked for. I also brought some white paper and yellow paper along the way. No. Do you know if it can be used..."
The girl in white clothes smiled and said: "Then I will thank you for your kindness on behalf of Sister Xiaoyu, but she probably won't be able to use it. In the talisman technique, white and yellow are always connected to yang, and red paper is connected to yin. If you have observed it, you will know I found that the Taoist priests used yellow paper to draw talismans. If there was no yellow paper, they would use white paper to make up the numbers. Red paper was rarely used. Only those of us ghosts can use red paper to draw talismans..."
"I see."
Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully.
The girl in white said with a smile: "Just put it on the altar table. Classmate Li is here and they don't dare to come close. I am the only female ghost in this temple. Classmate Ye doesn't need to be so careful with his words. Everyone is a time traveler. Just do whatever comes easy!"
Classmate Li…Classmate Ye…
Li Yun and Ye Chen looked at each other strangely, as if they were confused by the name of the girl in white and didn't know how to answer.
The girl in white looked at Li Yun who was exuding golden red arrogance in her field of vision. She couldn't help but take two steps back and said helplessly: "Tell me, classmate Li, what kind of skills have you practiced in your life? How can you be so scary?"
"..."
Li Yun twitched the corner of his mouth, thought for a while, and did not answer.
Ye Chen knew that Li Yun didn't want to answer, so he smiled and said, "It seems impolite for a girl to ask someone about their Kung Fu skills when she comes up, right?"
"...That's a bit." The girl in white thought for a moment and smiled, "Let's introduce ourselves first. After all, I know your names, but you still don't know mine!"
"My name is Bai Youyou. In my previous life, I was from Jiangnan. I was nineteen years old and a sophomore. I was shopping with my best friend before I traveled through time. I seemed to have died of heat stroke. Now I have been in this world for five years. I am a female ghost with a lot of followers. Little sister.”
"As for strength, the division of realm and combat power in this world is not that rigid. According to Xiaoyu's description, although I am just a wandering spirit, my strength should be stronger than many ghosts!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but said: "Since you are so powerful, why are you still afraid of Brother Li?"
Bai Youyou glanced at him speechlessly, as if to say whether you still don't know how perverted this guy next to you is.
Li Yun didn't give Bai Youyou a chance to answer, and asked curiously: "Classmate Bai, I'm curious, how did you end up in this situation?"
"Don't mention it!" Bai Youyou said with a depressed and helpless look on his face, "When I just crossed over, I originally had a chance to be reincarnated, but when I was reincarnated, I happened to meet the seducer from the underworld. They were looking for evil spirits in the county town where I was reincarnated, and by the way, they stopped me, an illegally reincarnated time traveler soul!"
……ah?
Li Yun and Ye Chen looked at each other.
Li Yun couldn't help but ask: "You mean, you have seen black and white and impermanence?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said: "No, it should be the bull-headed horse face. I remember that the black and white impermanence can attract souls, and the bull-headed horse face can hunt down wandering ghosts."
Li Yun said in surprise: "Really? How do I remember that Black and White Wuchang also has the responsibility of catching evil spirits?"
Seeing that the two of them were trying to argue, Bai Youyou couldn't help but feel black lines on her face.
"Hey, the person involved is here, but you are asking me, why are you making such a fuss?"
