67.
The flame on the lampstand was burning, and the light spread to one meter outside the temple gate again.
Although it was still less than before, it was more than enough to keep the shadow ghost out.
The shadow ghost was unwilling to give up and wandered in the shadow one meter away, never leaving.
Jiang Yingying had not stopped ringing the emperor bell. While shaking the emperor bell, she turned her head to look at Su Wu beside her.
This was the first time she met Su Wu's corpse ghost hand in reality.
Although it was inevitable to be frightened, because of the various mysterious phenomena Su Wu had shown before, Jiang Yingying had already prepared for it in her heart, so it was easy for her to accept the setting of "a normal person growing a black hand under his armpit".
"Is it safe now?" The warmth flowed through Jiang Yingying's body, which strengthened her physical fitness and made her courage stronger.
But she had never experienced such a scene after all.
Seeing the shadow ghost being driven away from the small temple, the mentality of retreating and living in peace once again prevailed.
I just want to maintain the current situation.
"No."
Facing her tearful, pitiful eyes, Su Wu shook his head lightly: "Now we have only temporarily expelled the strangeness from the small temple.
If we do not take further measures to drive it away completely.
Then it will step into the temple when we are not prepared, and then you and I will die without knowing how."
Jiang Yingying's knuckles turned white as she clutched the Emperor Bell, and her face could not maintain a calm expression at all: "Then what should we do?"
Every time she said a few words, she basically had to stop and take a breath.
"Go outside the temple, we will cooperate with each other, pick two lanterns from the sky and come back." Su Wu looked at the dark sky outside.
The shadow ghost can only show up and kill people during this dark interval before the eye ghost appears.
When the red lanterns fly up to the sky, it is indeed extremely dangerous, but in this case, it also means that the shadow ghost can only hide in the dark and cannot come out to commit crimes.
"Is there no other way?" Jiang Yingying trembled with fear.
Su Wu turned to look at her, his expression did not change, his face was even a little gentle, and he said: "You can stay in the small temple, wait for me to pick the lanterns and come back, and enjoy the success."
He did not say the hidden meaning.
Jiang Yingying was stunned when she heard it.
Her fingers holding the Emperor Bell loosened.
Then, she suddenly shook her head repeatedly: "I, I won't, I will go with you to pick lanterns together!"
Although her voice was still a little trembling, her eyes were very firm.
"Okay."
Su Wu nodded and did not continue to stimulate her.
Instead, he said: "When you get outside, you will continue to ring the Emperor Bell as you do now, and just follow me closely.
Bring your emergency canned food.
It can block the power of the red lanterns outside, and will not turn your head and my head into lanterns hanging in the sky."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Yingying nodded, took a deep breath and said, "I remember!"
She did not ask Su Wu why her pet rooster had such a mysterious power?
Now is not a good time to ask these questions.
The two were ready.
——There was nothing to prepare.
Just as the red lanterns outside the door rose to the sky and the shadow ghost disappeared, Su Wu took Jiang Yingying out of the small temple.
"It, has it left?"
Jiang Yingying was a little relieved that she didn't see the shadow ghost appear.
But Su Wu and the shadow ghost's "synesthesia" still existed, and the world from the shadow ghost's perspective still flashed in his mind from time to time.
After knowing that he took Jiang Yingying away from the small temple, it followed him silently.
Lurking in the shadows around.
When the red lanterns disappeared and the world returned to darkness again, the shadow ghost would suddenly kill people!
Therefore, Su Wu said honestly: "It hasn't left, it is in a shadow under our feet, and it is hard to say when it will appear."
'Dingdangdang! '
Su Wu was responded to by a heavy bell sound.
Jiang Yingying remained silent.
Su Wu quickly locked onto his target as he scanned the shops on both sides of the street - a clothing store just a dozen steps away.
Through the glass windows of the clothing store, you can see the headless bodies of the three shop assistants standing or sitting inside. If you don't look carefully, you might think they are also models used to display clothing.
The store was illuminated by red light.
Three heads squeezed in the corner of the wall near the glass window, their lips kept opening and closing, and no one knew what they were saying.
Because the glass door was not opened, they didn't have time to fly into the sky and turn into red lanterns.
Su Wu would help them.
"Let's go."
He nodded at Jiang Yingying,
and walked towards the clothing store first.
Jiang Yingying also saw the three heads in the corner of the clothing store. Her hands and feet were cold, but seeing that Su Wu had already taken a step, she overcame her fear and quickly followed the man in front.
Dingdangdangdang!
The sound of the imperial bell echoed back and forth on the empty street.
The girl never forgot her duty,
and she quickly walked over the distance of a dozen steps.
Su Wu and Jiang Yingying came to the glass door of the clothing store.
The heads of the three shop assistants also noticed Su Wu and Jiang Yingying walking over without any disguise. They floated from the corner of the wall and kept asking Su Wu and Jiang Yingying for help through the glass window.
"Help!"
"Save me!"
"Save me first, I am willing to give you money..."
Until now, these three heads have not been able to accept the fact that they are dead.
Su Wu sighed,
The three heads gathered at the door, saving him from having to drive them out of the clothing store one by one.
He had no intention of comforting the dead.
He reached out and grabbed the handrail, and pulled open the glass door!
"Help..."
"I——"
The three heads in the glass door were begging, and they could not control themselves and floated out of the clothing store. The moment they were illuminated by the crimson light outside the store,
the three heads turned into blood-red lanterns at the same time!
They floated up to the sky!
However, before they floated away, a black hand suddenly grew out from Su Wu's armpit and grabbed them one after another.
Violently demolished the lantern cover and took away the strange candles inside!
The moment he grabbed the three strange candles, Su Wu felt creepy!
He took Jiang Yingying and immediately walked towards the small temple not far away!
In the sky,
the red lanterns that were originally floating aimlessly gathered in large pieces, and countless lanterns were pressed together.
Like the eyes of the sky!
Because this eyeball is made up of countless red lanterns, the surface is uneven and full of potholes.
A dim vertical mark emerged from the center of the eyeball,
and layers of yellow light spread from the center of the vertical mark to the surroundings, to the sky, and to the earth!
The yellow light was like a piece of cloth, trying to sweep away Su Wu and Jiang Yingying!
However, although this layer of yellow light spread quickly, the distance between Su Wu and the small temple was closer.
It only had time to spread the sky, and Su Wu took Jiang Yingying back to the temple.
The strange candles were thrown into the orange fire on the lampstand one by one.
The light outside the temple spread out one and a half meters, ten feet, and three feet away.
The bright light and the dim light were fighting and blending.
The whole temple was shaking constantly.
Finally,
after about half a minute.
The dim light faded, and the street was covered with scarlet light again.
The bright yellow light from the lamp outside the small temple only flows within a range of ten feet outside the temple.
