Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 24

When Jiang Shan opened her eyes, she said: "Don't just look at those ghost movies, there are so many yin and yang eyes in the world, most of them are made up, and few serious Taoist priests have yin and yang eyes."

"Then I don't know, hurry up and see where she went." I walked up the last steps, and when I turned a corner, I was startled.I looked back at Jiang Shan and Zhang Ling who came up, their expressions were so consistent.

The black door appeared in front of him again, and there was a woman in a red nightgown standing in front of the door, looking down at the door.

Her long hair was loose, and since she was bowing her head and facing away from us, she couldn't see her face at all.

"Ahem," I coughed deliberately, trying to get the woman's attention, but there was no response.Jiang Shan has drawn a blood curse on the jade pendant, ready to summon the jade sword at any time.

"Hey! I said, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" I said.

There are people in this world who teach how to communicate with people, but no one has ever known how to communicate with ghosts.In fact, I am not sure whether the person in front of me is a ghost, but in the process of chasing, I can feel her speed, which should break the world record.

"Hurry up and tell me who you are? Or I'll let you live forever!" Jiang Shan's words seemed to have some effect.

The female ghost twitched for a while, and the joints of her body began to crack, and her head was lifted up and swayed from side to side.I seem to have seen this kind of weird scene in a movie, but I can't remember it for a while.

"Thirteen, do you think she looks like Kayako in The Grudge." Zhang Ling's words made me suddenly realize.Not to mention, it really looks like it, except that the "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sound is missing.

Seeing her talking endlessly, I hurriedly said: "Okay, big sister, shake it, it's enough to be high. If you have something to say, talk about it, don't dance awkwardly if you don't agree with each other, okay?"

It may be that what I have experienced before has made me more and more courageous, and I have become immune to this kind of thing.Besides, the ghosts and monsters I met before were all of the abstract type.It's more like a monster than a ghost.And this female ghost looks like an ordinary person.

At this time, the female ghost's body froze, and she stopped twisting any more.I don't know if my words stimulated her, but she started to turn around slowly.All three of us took a step back in unison, feeling fearful because of our ignorance.

The long waiting process made me feel like my heart was about to pop out of my throat.There was also a layer of sweat on the forehead, and while I wiped the sweat, I imagined what her face looked like.

Generally speaking, Asians’ facial contours are not obvious and their visual impact is not great.So, I can only think of the following faces.

The first type: Wang Zuxian type.It reflects the classical beauty of oriental women, elegance and propriety.

The second type: zombie face.Most of this kind of face is rotten, covered with sores, blood, etc., realistic horror.

The third type: pale face.With pupils, without pupils, with double pupils or without eyeballs.Blood, tears, even tears of blood.Tongue sticking out, long tongue or no tongue.

The fourth type: no face.The front and back are the same, the back of the head.

The speed of the female ghost's turn around was really slow, and I couldn't control my wild thoughts at all.I think Jiang Shan should have the same feeling as me.

"The visitor is not kind." Jiang Shan just said this and began to take off her clothes.

"Why are you taking off your clothes?" Zhang Ling asked in confusion.

I hurriedly said to Zhang Ling: "The big sister is about to lose her head tattoo, move away!" After I finished speaking, I pulled Zhang Ling back three meters.

Jiang Shan threw her coat on the ground, and said, "Cover me." Her tone was very calm, and then a dazzling blue light flashed in her hand, and the jade sword came out immediately.

I immediately took out the ghost-killing talisman, and shouted: "The Taishang Laojun taught me how to kill ghosts and my gods, as quickly as a law!" The ghost-killing talisman in my hand immediately emitted an aurora-like light as the order ended. , thrown out, all in one go.

At the same time, Jiang Shan followed my ghost-killing talisman and rushed towards the female ghost from the other side.

With the previous experience, when losing the talisman, you must also prepare for the next attack.If I still stand there and watch the fun, the output may not be able to keep up.Even if it's a waste of ammunition, you can't just fire one shot and it will go cold.This is just like what Teacher Dandan said, when people die, money is not spent.

I quickly dodged to the side, and took out the Lei Qilin rune I prepared earlier from my pocket, and I will use you to try my new skills.

"Leibu Zhengshen and my god are in a hurry!" After reciting the mantra and pinching the spell, the talisman in his hand did not respond!I read it again, still no response.

I looked at Zhang Ling differently, but her attention was always on the battle ahead.If it doesn't work, I change it, so I took out the ghost-killing talisman, and kept chanting the spell and threw it at the female ghost.

I stopped after throwing two, because the spells I threw didn't hurt the female ghost at all.And Jiang Shan also quickly retracted her sword, turned quickly and ran back towards me.

"No, she's like gas, she can't be cut at all!" Jiang Shan said out of breath.

"What's going on here?" Zhang Ling was also a little anxious, after all, the female ghost in the distance had already turned around.Seeing her face, none of the conjectures I raised before were correct.

Where her face was supposed to be, it was just a pitch-black thing, and occasionally you could see small dots of light in it. Thinking about it carefully, it felt a bit like a starry sky.

She actually has a starry sky face!

I really don't know how to complain, but it reminded me that when it comes to things like stars, there is a very powerful feeling.

In ancient times, people would use astrology for divination. Taoism even worshiped the four celestial phenomena and anthropomorphized them. After the rise of Taoism, it followed the ancient sayings and included Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu into the gods as the gods of protection. With majesty.

So, for the thing in front of me, I hope she is with us even more.

Just when we were all curious about the female ghost in front of us, something unexpected happened again.She straddles her left foot in front of her right body, her body leans slightly to the left, then lifts her right foot, hangs in mid-air, raises her head at the same time, puts one hand behind her back, and the other pointing to the sky with a sword.

Although I don’t understand what she is doing, I always feel that these actions should appear in a certain film and television work.

The female ghost in front of her kept changing complex postures, spinning and jumping, and she didn't stop.For this kind of weird picture, I can't hold back my irritability, but there is nothing I can do.

"It's the Qidou Kuigang step! It's a Taoist footwork, half of which is used to urge advanced spells. But..." Zhang Ling really didn't make a sound, and became a blockbuster, even Jiang Shan was frightened by her words.

"True or false? How do you know?" I hurriedly asked.

"Really, my brother has practiced this footwork at home before, and I laughed at him for doing ballet." After Zhang Ling finished speaking, I suddenly realized something.

"Jiang Shan, do you remember Zhang Feng said that the Lei Qilin rune is a high-level spell?" Jiang Shan nodded.

So it turns out, if you want to activate this high-level spell, you must know the seven-fighter kuigang step!

"I said why my talisman doesn't work? Senior brother kept a hand and didn't tell me!" I felt a little awkward.

Zhang Ling explained: "It's not that my brother didn't tell you. He has a problem with his memory. He asked me to give you a spell yesterday. But he forgot it today. I reminded him." Seeing Zhang Ling's expression is not good. It seemed like I was lying, so I stopped talking.

So here comes the question, what is going on with the female ghost who is playing with Qidou Kuigangbu?I have only seen Taoist priests accept ghosts, can ghosts also accept people?

She has already finished the set, and she is posing the poss on the spot.The three of us looked at her nervously, fearing that if she suddenly threw some big moves, we might not be able to dodge them.

Pushed Jiang Shan a bit, winked at her, and finally looked at the stairs, meaning that if it doesn't work, let's leave.Jiang Shan also blinked at me, expressing acceptance.

"What are you two doing flirting with each other?" Zhang Ling didn't understand what we meant.I stared at the female ghost intently, and whispered to her: If we can't, let's withdraw.

"Then let's withdraw now, I think she seems difficult to deal with." Zhang Ling said on the side, turned around and was about to go downstairs.

Then I don't want to wait any longer. It's the best policy for a hero not to suffer from immediate losses.I turned around and followed Zhang Ling and walked slowly, but Zhang Ling stopped before going down the stairs.

I raised my flashlight and found that the female ghost with a starry sky face was standing opposite Zhang Ling.I also admire Zhang Ling's psychological quality. When I saw that I couldn't walk, I hurried backwards.I didn't fall back carelessly, and when I turned around, I found that there was still a starry sky face in front of the black door, and then looked down the stairs, and the starry sky face was gone.

"My god, this thing can still teleport." I muttered in a low voice, not daring to act rashly.

The three of them just stood there and stared at the female ghost in the distance.After a while, the female ghost started to walk again. We just stared at her like this, feeling as if we were about to suffocate.

"Senior, it doesn't matter if you are a ghost or a human being, can you give me some advice?" I shouted to the female ghost in the distance, even if I am strangled to death now, it is better than waiting so foolishly .

When the female ghost heard my words, she paused suddenly, then continued walking.

"I think she seems to be giving us advice now!" Jiang Shan said something abruptly, but I didn't understand it, so I asked her what advice she was giving.

"Do you still remember why you couldn't activate your talisman just now?"

"I didn't use the Qidou Kuigang step, oh! I thought of it, is she teaching me?" After listening to me, Jiang Shan nodded, with a teachable expression.

Well, since you want to teach me, then I'm not welcome.

I took two steps forward, cupped my fists and raised my hands, and began to imitate the female ghost.

In this way, one person and one ghost started to walk on the ground, and gradually mastered the method.Coupled with the memory in Zhang Ling's mind, she quickly figured out how to go.Generally speaking, the movements are not very important, what needs to be paid attention to is only the steps on the feet, which should be followed step by step according to the position of the Big Dipper, and move forward slowly.

While I was practicing my steps here, Zhang Ling and Jiang Shan sat on the ground and rested.There is nothing in my mind right now, I am just walking intently.It seems that only by remembering all the steps can we continue to advance the plot, so we are extremely serious.

To be honest, this female ghost, or something else, walks the Qidou Kuigang really smartly, maybe because she is wearing pajamas, she swings back and forth with her movements, especially elegant.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and I didn't know how many times I walked, and I finally became proficient.I stopped, intending to take a rest, and the female ghost on the opposite side also stopped.

I hurriedly withdrew to Jiang Shan's side, observing the next move on the other side, and waited for a long time without moving, I was completely at a loss.What on earth does this star face want to do?

"Try using the Thunder Qilin rune on her again," Jiang Shan said.

"Our talisman just now and my jade sword are not easy to use, do you think this talisman can work well." I said a little puzzled.

"Don't worry about it, you use it once."

I took out the talisman again from my pocket, pointed at the sword in my left hand, and held the talisman in my right hand, and started to walk the Qidou Kuigang step.

When I got to the sixth step, I started to chant the mantra, and when I was on the seventh step, I shouted urgently, and the talisman in my hand responded.This time it is different from the previous talisman, just like holding a laser sword in Star Wars in your hand, but it is a thicker laser sword.The white sword body is covered with a light blue halo.

Oh my goodness, this shouldn't be too cool.Since I learned the spell, I feel like my whole life has started to glow.

Don't think too much, if you don't throw out the talisman, it will burn out.Spotting the female ghost's position, she threw it out with all her strength. The moment the talisman flew out, a thunderous sound rang in her ears, which was deafening.

Just when the talisman flew towards the female ghost, I seemed to see her nod to me, and then there was a white light accompanied by sharp and piercing noises.

The white light lasted for half a minute, and as the piercing sound diminished, the white light gradually disappeared.I thought to myself, I have to get a pair of polarized glasses in the future. I am always stimulated by the strong light, and I will have to go to the bridge to tell my fortune or play the erhu in a short time.

After opening my eyes, I found that the female ghost in front of me had disappeared. Jiang Shan and Zhang Ling hurried over and asked me where I had gone.

"I don't know either. As soon as I opened my eyes, she disappeared. Tell me, could it be that I killed her?"

Jiang Shan also nodded, but said it shouldn't be, how could a ghost teach you how to kill her?

But all in all, disappearing is a good thing, but I don't know how the girl died.Maybe it was really suicide. If that doesn't work, try to find out the cause of the girl's death.

The female ghost with the face of the starry sky is solved, what is the situation of the black gate in front of us, is there a connection between them?I scratched my hair and found that it was all stuck to my face.She took out a rubber band and tied her hair up. Zhang Ling said that it was much more pleasing to the eye than before, and a little cute.

I always feel like someone has said this.

"The night before yesterday, we also saw this door, but it disappeared when we left. It reappeared today, and the female ghost did not disappear after it disappeared. I think it may be a matter of time. Look at what time it is now ?” Jiang Shan quickly took out her mobile phone and told me that it’s only less than two o’clock.

"Chou Shi, this time should be the time when the gate of hell is closed. As you said, if the black door you saw when you went to the underworld, if this door is also a door leading to the underworld, then you can only know what is inside if you try to open it. It's the key." Jiang Shan looked at me and said.

"You're right, ghosts should rest at this time." I echoed.

"But when I was a child, I heard adults say that the underworld is opposite to the underworld?" Zhang Ling also interjected.The two insisted on their opinions, and I didn't know who to listen to. When I was hesitating, Jiang Shan had already put the retracted jade pendant on the gap of the black gate.

"Wait, let's study it, what if a ghost like Emperor Huaguang is released?"

"It's okay, I'll take care of the accident." After Jiang Shan finished speaking, she pressed the jade pendant in, and then took a few steps back.I said in my heart that if you worry about it, it will be very miserable if you worry about dying.

Similar to the last time the door was opened, a relief of a wild beast first appeared on the door, and after waiting for a long time, the door slowly opened.

Jiang Shan stared at the relief on the door and said in surprise: "This looks like a candle dragon? I saw it in my mother's book."

"The candle dragon is said to live in the extremely cold place in the north. When it opens its eyes, it is daytime. When it closes its eyes, it is night. When it blows its breath, it means winter, and when it breathes out, it means summer. After the underworld, they invited Zhulong to guard the road to Huangquan." Jiang Shan said with relish, but she didn't know that the door had been opened for a long time.

Although I was extremely reluctant to go in, it suddenly occurred to me that I might see Sun Jing, so I didn't speak any more.

"Here, one for each of you."

I looked at the worm in Jiang Shan's hand and felt a little disgusted, but Zhang Ling obediently picked it up and threw it into her mouth.As the only male among the three, of course I couldn't be cowardly, so I grabbed the remaining one and stuffed it into my mouth and swallowed it.

Jiang Shan picked off the jade pendant, summoned the jade sword with a blood curse, and motioned for us to go in.
