I heard it's not good to be a magic stick

Zhang Linle was sensitive to Yin and evil, and felt a gust of wind from the side of his face. Before turning his head, Yuanyang Yue had already made a move one step faster.

Cat-like screams resounded through the empty shopping center, and after only one sound, silence returned.

Several people ran over, but there was only blood on the ground. Zhang Linle searched around with a flashlight, but found nothing else.

"There is hair on your mandarin duck battleaxe." Li Jingxing shone a flashlight on Zhang Linle's weapon, and stretched out a hand to remove the hair from the weapon.

Xu Xu stood guard on the sidelines, shining his flashlight in all directions, and asked without turning his head, "What kind of animal hair is it? Don't tell me it's mouse hair."

"Brother Xu, it's disgusting." Zhang Linle laughed.

"It's a cat." Li Jingxing said.

Xu Xu turned his head to take a look, and quickly turned his head: "Zhang Liuwan, did you hurt a cat just now?"

"No, absolutely impossible," Zhang Linle said firmly, "I clearly felt the invasion of evil spirits before."

"Where there are cats, it's easy to scam corpses," Li Jingxing said, "Be careful of corpses."

"This shopping center is so big, and it doesn't tell us the goal of the test, and let us explore by ourselves, it's a waste of time." Zhang Linle complained.

"I have a guess. As metaphysicians, our first priority is to get rid of evil, so the goal of the test should be the same." Li Jingxing shined a flashlight on the top. In shopping malls, where Yin Qi gathers, the evil inside cannot be dissipated."

Zhang Linle asked: "Is it successful if all the evils inside are wiped out?"

"Maybe." Li Jingxing nodded.

When Xu Xu heard this, he was so blessed that he also shot the flashlight at the dome of the nine-story shopping mall: "Maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome. If we can change this pattern, the evil will not survive. This is the most trouble-free way."

"Break the tomb cover of this shopping center, and use the power of moonlight to penetrate, and use Taoism to wipe out all these monsters." Li Jingxing squinted his eyes: "It's exactly what I want."

"Okay, then let's go up." Zhang Linle said, "Take the escalator instead of the sightseeing elevator."

"No one is stupid enough to take that tombstone ladder." Xu Xu smiled and patted his thigh.

Li Jingxing frowned: "Don't make trouble, the evil spirit is getting stronger again."

Zhang Linle had already sensed it: "The three of us are uninvited guests to the Yin Xie that has existed here for a long time."

"As long as it's not takeaway." Xu Xu beckoned, and the three of them walked up the escalator.

The escalator is just a decoration, it has long been dirty and dilapidated, exuding a stale atmosphere.

Li Jing walked in the front, and just stepped on the first step of the elevator, he felt something was wrong, a sinking force made him lose his center of gravity.Li Jingxing quickly put his hands on the armrests on both sides, and with the help of his strength, he turned over in the air and retreated.

The entire elevator sank into the ground like a limp belt, and thick dust rose up under the light of the cold flashlight.

"Fuck!" Xu Xu burst out, and Zhang Linle also took a few steps back, covering their noses with their hands.

Dust lingered all around, only a few meters away from the line of sight, forming a semi-enclosed space.

"Be careful, the ghost hits the wall."

When the two of them heard Li Jingxing's shout, they knew they were lost.

Li Jingxing was able to protect himself, Xu Xu wanted to grab the nearest Zhang Linle and waved his hand, but there was only choking dust and nothing.

Zhang Linle didn't catch Xu Xu either, he held his breath, holding a flashlight in one hand, and a mandarin duck ax in the other, walking quickly with his body bent, hoping to get out of the white dust quickly.

Suddenly, someone patted him from behind: "Zhang Linle, come here."

Zhang Linle was stunned for a moment, this voice is...Brother Xu?

"Zhang Linle, come here."

Zhang Linle turned his voice and found that Xu Xu's voice was farther away, but he was still greeting him.

Zhang Linle squeezed the Yuanyang Yue in his hand, and followed.

After walking a few steps, the dust in front of him suddenly faded, and a huge black elevator skin flew towards him.

Zhang Linle threw away the flashlight in his hand, and rushed straight to the elevator skin. With two sharp axes, the elevator skin was immediately torn apart and flew away.

"Zhang Linle, come here."

Zhang Linle ran to follow Xu Xu's voice again, and within a few steps, his knees bent, and when he raised his head, a few wooden nails rubbed against his eyeballs.

The evil spirit was very close, so Zhang Linle quickly stood up, swung the mandarin duck axe, and used gossip to go around in circles, setting up a solid line of defense for himself, and the evil spirit could not enter at all.

While moving, he kept waving the mandarin duck ax in his hand, like an iron palm, waving with wind, the surrounding dust was opened, and a vague shadow appeared in front of his eyes.

"Brother Xu!" Zhang Linle called out tentatively.

Because in the fog of ghosts hitting the wall, the people in front of them still couldn't turn their heads.

"Zhang Linle, come and help me, I'm trapped."

Zhang Linle stepped forward, without saying a word, picked up the mandarin duck axe, and cut off the head in front.

At the moment when the head was severed, Zhang Lin laughed happily, and said in his heart: "Let's not talk about such a strong evil smell, my brother Xu even calls me Liuwan. With this IQ, do you still want to deceive people?"

The surrounding dust dispersed a little, and it seemed that this evil spirit was at its wit's end.Zhang Linle took a sip, and continued to look for Li Jingxing and Xu Xu.

The surrounding air flow changed again, and something slammed into Zhang Linle fiercely from behind. Zhang Linle couldn't turn around in time, but felt that the surrounding dust was torn apart by the air flow.

The evil speed is too fast!This was Zhang Linle's first reaction, but he still reluctantly picked up the Yuanyang Yue to block it.

As it got closer, Zhang Linle could see clearly that this was a person, to be precise, this was a dead person.

With a ferocious expression, black nails, and a flat head, except for a lot of blood on the top of the head, the blood seeped into the pupils of the dead man. When the evil spirit was close at hand, Zhang Linle's eyes were only blood red and pale, and he smelled a disgusting stench.

Zhang Linle was about to launch the Mandarin Duck Axe, to fight against this last-ditch evil spirit.

Unexpectedly, the corpse suddenly screamed and turned into ashes in the dust.

How is this going?He hasn't made a move yet.

The surrounding dust dissipated suddenly, Zhang Linle stood at the escalator, and Xu Xu was beside him, the distance between the two was less than five meters.

Li Jingxing closed his eyes and ignited the talisman, and when he opened his eyes with a murderous look, he chanted the Tao aloud.Zhang Linle couldn't understand, but found that the yellow charm was compatible with the fire, sucking all the surrounding dust into it.

Xu Xu took Zhang Linle's arm and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Linle shook his head immediately.

"Does it feel like a long time?"

Zhang Linle gave a "hmm" and said, "It's almost time for a meal."

"Heh! Six bowls are six bowls, even the timing standard is eating."

"Hee hee, Brother Xu, stop making fun of me."

"It's like this when the evil spirit is pervasive. In fact, it's only been a minute." Xu Xu raised his watch and shone the light of the flashlight on the watch.

"There was an evil spirit pretending to be you to confuse me just now."

"You agreed?"

"What should I do? It's gone right away..." Zhang Linle stuck out his tongue and nodded, and looked at Li Jingxing: "What kind of Taoism is this? The evil energy dissipated in an instant, it's amazing."

"Quanzhen and Zhengyi are Taoist sects that mainly use the method of exorcising evil, and deal with evil and natural methods to get rid of evil." Xu Xu joked, "Taoist priests have even more powerful spells."

"What spell?" Zhang Linle's eyes lit up.

Li Jingxing threw away the last burnt charm in his hand, and cut off the conversation: "I'll talk about the nonsense later."

Xu Xu blinked at Zhang Linle: "He is so serious when he starts working."

Zhang Linle wanted to ask if it was caused by high mental tension, but Xu Xu continued to ask, "Isn't it cool?"

"...Cool!" Zhang Linle felt that this kind of praise was inappropriate, but Li Jingxing was indeed quite cool.

"Shut up." Li Jingxing shone a flashlight into the distance, "Find the fire escape and go upstairs."

Li Jingxing pushed open the heavy fire door, and the dust hanging on the lintel scattered down and fell on the shoulders of the three of them.The corridor inside is not considered wide, only two or three meters wide, in a Z shape.

Li Jingxing looked around with a flashlight.The dilapidated stairwell can't be seen at a glance, the walls are peeling due to damp, and the water stains flowing down the walls emit a foul smell, forming a pool of dirty mud at the joints between the stairs and the walls, and water drops fall from time to time, splashing low echo.

The handles of the escalator were not continuous, they spiraled up in sections, the wood was already slack, and sometimes a little dust accompanied by sawdust falling from top to bottom, followed by the flashlight in Li Jingxing's hand, showing an unsightly Tyndall phenomenon.

"I think there are about nine floors above. When turning corners, be careful with your head and your feet, and try to walk as close to the wall as possible. Let's keep a little distance apart so that we can take care of each other." Li Jingxing instructed.

"Old rules, you go ahead, I'm behind." Xu Xu agreed.

"Then I'll take care of you both before and after." Zhang Linle clasped the Yuanyang ax tightly with his fingers.

Li Jingxing held the flashlight in his backhand and placed it in front of his chest for self-defense. With his other hand, he held a slender knife with the tip of the knife pointing down, and tapped one step after another.

At the end, Xu Xu swept the closed fire door with the light of the flashlight, and then moved it back, touching the light of the flashlight fired by Zhang Linle.

"Thanks to brother Jing Xing just now, otherwise I would have been pinched by that female ghost." Zhang Linle said.

Xu Xu jokingly said: "Your boy is very lucky."

"Can we be serious? Brother Xu, you haven't seen what it looks like. Its head is flat and its body is covered in blood."

Xu Xu followed behind: "At least it's a woman, it's better than seeing some ugly monsters."

"What is the ugliest evil you have ever seen? Tell me about it." Zhang Linle became interested.

The three of them have successfully reached the second floor.
