"Stop!"
Ma Guotou reined in his mount.
Looking diagonally to the side, the dilapidated and dilapidated stone temple on the river bank looks like a stone temple that has existed for many years.
His eyes were serious.
The entire caravan gradually stopped following his shout.
"Guotou." Several caravan riders following Ma Guotou drove over and surrounded Zhou Bo in the center.
Everyone's eyes glanced at the dilapidated stone temple by the river from time to time, and they obviously found something strange about the stone temple - they walked along the river bank for half an hour, but they seemed to be spinning in place. After walking for a long time, they suddenly stopped. You will see the small, half-collapsed temple.
"Gather everyone together and light a bonfire. Something is wrong in this place. No one should leave the team and act alone.
We may be attacked by ghosts. "Zhou Bo's face was solemn and he spoke in a low voice, "Let the 'Ghost Carrying Team' ring the gongs and 'act' around the caravan to prevent the Li Wei behind from catching up.
You should circle around the caravan frequently and deal with any abnormalities immediately.
If it can’t be handled, report it to me! "
"I understand, Guotou!"
"Let's do it now!"
Several followers responded calmly, drove their horses away from the caravan, and gathered the brothers of the caravan who were spread out on the dirt road and formed into a long snake formation.
Not long after, several bonfires were lit in the darkness.
A stick of incense was lit, and the strange aroma lingered in the caravan.
The carriages drove one after another, forming a circle.
The small holes on the front of the car were filled with lit incense sticks.
People hid in a circle of cars and guarded piles of bonfires.
The sound of gongs.
The caravan brothers wearing ghost-faced capes ran out of the car formation, advancing and retreating around the car formation, sending out bursts of white smoke to guard against the evil spirits that might be lurking in the dark.
Several young people moved out a wooden box and pulled out bundles of bamboo knots from the box.
There is a cotton thread attached to one end of the bamboo knot.
They stuck the bundles of bamboo joints outside the car array and used fire starters to light the cotton threads.
Firecrackers sound!
The sound of crackling sounded continuously, along with the sound of gongs and the bright bonfires all around, making this cold and strange night suddenly become lively, as if they were celebrating some grand festival.
However, the faces of the people in the car array did not show any joy in celebrating the festival. Instead, their faces were solemn, their lips moved, and they prayed secretly.
Zhou Bo drove his horse closer to the carriage of the ‘proprietor’s wife’ and whispered: “Proprietor.
When caravans are walking outside, it is not uncommon for ghosts to hit the wall or cover their eyes. Most of the time, such situations are caused by people being afraid and blinding themselves.
But there are also times when we really encounter serious problems.
If the situation is the former, just like now, make some noises to dispel the fear in your heart, and then you can see the way forward, and the situation of ghosts hitting the wall and ghosts covering your eyes will disappear instantly.
If the situation belongs to the latter - setting off firecrackers with 'deterrence dispersion' like this can also have some effect on making Li Jui retreat.
However, things are not going well now.
We have not been able to scare away the evil spirit before, but now we are faced with a "ghost beating the wall", and the secret area is much more dangerous than the Han area - I am really worried that we may face a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back. Clamp..."
"Ma Guotou and I thought of going together. In fact, I am also worried." While driving, the strange and hoarse voice of the proprietor's wife came out.
After hearing what she said, Zhou Bo's frown slightly relaxed.
I thought that the other party finally realized that the situation was unusual and was willing to cooperate with me.
But he didn't expect that after the proprietor's wife finished speaking, the conversation suddenly changed and she said again: "Ma Guotou, you listen to my method and what do you think of my proposal?"
Zhou Bo had an ominous premonition after hearing this.
But he also patiently nodded and said: "Madam, please speak."
"I'm thinking that now we are trapped in this 'ghost against the wall', and there are serious enemies chasing us. If everyone is trapped here, there will be no way out.
Why don't we divide the people into two groups and ask the able brothers who have learned the "ghost carrying trick" to ride away from here and see if they can find a way out.
The others stayed here, dealing with the evil spirits lurking in the dark.
What does Ma Guotou think of this method? "
Zhou Bo's expression froze.
He cupped his hands outside the carriage and said in a deep voice: "Although most of the time, having a way to go seems better than having no way to go, but in the face of a serious attack, having no way to go is actually not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is not knowing. No matter what the road ahead is, you have to walk haphazardly - one wrong step like this may truly reverse a situation that you could have redeemed, turning it into a complete dead end.
Therefore, madam, I cannot agree with your approach. "
"I'm just talking.
After all, I am a woman who does not know whether my husband lives or dies, and my safety depends on the thoughts of others. Although I am still respected as the 'proprietor', in the end, in the eyes of others, I am just a weak woman who can be manipulated at will..." The sobs sounded from the carriage again.
Zhou Bo tightened his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Wang, I didn't mean this.
In fact, in the face of serious attack, it is best not to spread our hands.
Some spooks can only kill people one by one. If everyone is scattered, it will play into their hands..."
"Why……
Zhou Guotou can do whatever he wants.
After all, I can't persuade you.
If I die now, it will be over once and for all, and maybe I can see my husband again under the Nine Springs..."
Zhou Bo opened his mouth to say something else, but when he looked up, he saw more than a dozen faces that were changing all the time around the car formation. The formation evolved from the conflict between their advance and retreat suddenly became scattered!
Ma Guotou's heart suddenly shuddered!
The formation of more than a dozen grimacing faces was disrupted by the changing pace and covered by the bursts of white smoke, and then returned to normal.
But Zhou Bo has discovered that there were originally sixteen brothers who performed the 'ghost carrying trick', but now there is one less and there are now fifteen!
He hurriedly left Mrs. Wang's car and hurried out of the circle.
Several young men returned here carrying a man wrapped in a cloak with a ghostly face. They poured medicine into him and slapped him on the back. When Zhou Bo saw the brother's face as pale as paper, he immediately squatted down and casually Break off a piece of incense stick, grind it into powder between your fingers, get close to the nostrils of the caravan brother who is responsible for performing the 'ghost carrying trick', and blow lightly——
Blow the incense powder into the person's nostrils.
The man's figure suddenly started to move like a live fish falling on the shore!
As the board moved, gurgling black water exuding a cold and eerie charm flowed from between its mouth and nose!
As black water dripped from his mouth and nose, his face suddenly turned rosy. He slowly opened his eyes, looked weakly at Ma Guotou, who was facing him, and said: "Where are you going?" ah?"
The voice was thin and light, like a woman acting coquettishly.
As the voice sounded, the man's face suddenly turned pale again, so white that it glowed!
‘He’ rolled his eyes with only the whites left, and the ghostly face cloak wrapped around him turned into a dark robe with a longevity pattern!
A chill went straight to the top of Zhou Bo's head!
At this moment, Ma Guotou's reaction was extremely fast——
He put his knee on the chest of the 'caravan brother' whose body and face were still changing, put his palm on his waist, took out a waxy yellow pill, pinched open the 'man's' mouth, and stuffed the pill into the other party's mouth!
"ah!"
The ground was constantly shaking, and the face of the 'caravan brother' gradually turned into a fallen peach shape, and a scream suddenly came from his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, pairs of glowing white arms, like snow-white bandages, detached themselves from his body and twisted around in mid-air, grabbing the wind flowing around them. In an instant, they flew to the tops of cypress trees in the distance, transforming into With that peach-shaped face, Li Gui is wearing a thick cloth robe with longevity patterns!
Li Gui was hanging on the treetop in the distance, his big eyes looking towards the car formation without blinking!
"Can't wait any longer!"
Zhou Bohuo stood up and looked at the corpses of the caravan brothers that were quickly decaying and smelly on the ground. He directly took a torch, threw it on the corpse, and lit it on fire!
He looked at the broken stone temple on the river bank and said in a deep voice to his followers: "Let the brother who performs magic come back!
Let’s go to that temple! "
"Going to the temple?"
"Wouldn't that be more dangerous?"
Several of his followers had solemn expressions.
"Our ghost-carrying trick must be able to see the true form of the ghost, and then use this method to achieve the greatest effect.
Nowadays, the firecrackers are set off, but the situation of ghosts covering their eyes and ghosts beating the walls has not changed.
——It means that we are not encountering the ordinary "fear and self-obsession" situation. It is very likely that there is another Li Wei here, and that Li Wei may still be in silence and has not yet awakened.
At this time, taking the initiative to enter the environment affected by it not only gives us the opportunity to observe its true form, but also allows us to retreat from the evil force that is pursuing us!
Two Ligui will not appear in the same area at the same time.
They generally don't interfere with each other!
This is the only way to save yourself now - the 'ghost-carrying trick' has become less and less effective on the evil creature on the treetops.
If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will completely defeat it! "Zhou Bo spoke hurriedly and walked to Mrs. Wang's car formation.
All his followers went to spread the news, and the cavalry that originally stayed in place began to change its formation again. Everyone who was surrounding the cavalry performing the "ghost carrying trick" retreated back to the car formation.
"Mrs. Wang, I am going to take people into that stone temple to find out what's going on!"
Zhou Bo reported to the proprietor's wife in the carriage.
"Guotou can just help himself."
A hoarse and strange voice came from the carriage, and the voice was slightly cold.
Zhou Bo sighed, said nothing more, and hurriedly drove his horse, leading the entire convoy towards the stone temple in the woods by the river.
After actually leading the horse into the grove, Zhou Bo discovered that there was a pagoda in the forest.
On the pagoda, the writings of the secret domain can be faintly seen.
Faded prayer flags are draped on the pagoda, fluttering everywhere in the cold wind.
"What is written on it?" Zhou Bo asked Chang Chun, who was acting as the translator for the caravan, pointing at the mottled and discolored pagoda, which was shaped like a crown.
