modern soul hunter

Chapter 9 The Road Thief

"Li Jingxing!" Xu Xu shouted.

The whole cave was immediately filled with strange echoes, like life-threatening notes, chanting Li Jingxing's name wave after wave in his ears.

It was clearly not his voice, Xu Xu covered his mouth.

He waited for a few seconds, but did not receive any response, Li Jingxing just disappeared in front of him for no reason.

The Taoist priest didn't intend to scare him, did he?Xu Xu thought for a moment, then shook his head, forcing this ridiculous idea out of his mind.

Li Jingxing usually has a serious and meticulous look, and he would not play jokes without knowing the seriousness in this situation.

Could it be that he was really dragged away by a ghost?Will not!Xu Xu believes that this person is definitely not a mediocre person.

Could it be that the fog was too thick and he got separated, should I go back and look for him?

The more Xu Xu thought about it, the more confused he became. If he walked out along the compass, he had great hope, but it seemed a little unjust to leave his companions behind, but standing still and waiting to die was not an option. After time passed, the demonic aura increased sharply , but I want to leave at that time, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Xu Xu shone the beam of the flashlight on the watch and almost jumped up.

One hour and four ten minutes had passed, and there were only two and ten minutes left.I was nervous just now, so I didn't notice the passage of time.

This is a dark road, he can't stay, he has to hurry up and get out.

Xu Xu's current situation doesn't care about others at all. Whether he can go out smoothly is still a question mark, so he wants to get away alone first.

Xu Xu walked a few steps and stopped again. He thought that the Taoist priest surnamed Li predicted a much worse direction than him. Maybe without his help, he could only be trapped in this puzzle.

Human life is at stake, so I couldn't help but sighed heavily, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk back.

He only has one flashlight now, and he needs to use the flashlight to shine on the compass in order to identify the exact direction to go back. At the same time, he needs to continue moving forward with the help of the faint light.

Moving forward in the dark, the most unbearable thing is the fear of the dark.

The darkness was like a big net, trapping Xu Xu in it, and the ghost might be hiding in a corner, waiting for him to turn his head and launch a sudden attack from behind.

Xu Xu has helped many people adjust Feng Shui before, and the reason why he has no fear is because he is in a big city.

The city has a large population, strong yang, temples are full of incense, and evil spirits are suppressed. The dead are also buried in the cemetery. There will be no mass burials in the turbulent era, and the nature is peaceful.Eerie things hardly appear, even if there are, they can be driven away with a little feng shui adjustment.

But now Xu Xu is facing a completely different experience from the city.

When he was studying Taoism in his early years, Xu Xu once heard his master occasionally mention this situation, calling it a road thief blocking the way.

Some time after liberation, the parents were sent to the countryside to be educated youths. At that time, many people died, and the more dilapidated, the more ghosts would make trouble. The educated youths would occasionally encounter road thieves.

Someone has been walking forward for a long time, only to find that they are still spinning in place. The final outcome is basically that a group of people rushed over, woke up this person, and brought them back.

Now Xu Xu, I hope that all this is also a dream of his.Or, it would be nice if someone could take him to a safe place.

However, the cold mist made him shiver, and he was still in the darkness where he could not see his fingers.

Xu Xu had to be vigilant about his surroundings. From time to time, he used the flashlight to look ahead and behind him, but as he continued to move forward, he had to turn the light of the flashlight back to the palm of his hand to see if the direction was off.Just like this, it is constantly alternating, and the occasional sound can make people's scalp tingle.

He had walked back for a long time, calling the Taoist priest's name in a low voice, but still did not get a reply.He glanced down at the watch on his wrist, and it was time out in 10 minutes.At that time, no one can escape.

"This unlucky Taoist priest, let him find him, and immediately deduct his wages." Xu Xu cursed.

"Xu Xu!" He suddenly heard Li Jingxing calling him from behind.

He was overjoyed, and halfway through turning his head, he suddenly remembered Li Jingxing's instructions.

"For a while, unless I touch your shoulder, if anyone calls you, don't look back, understand?"

Xu Xu froze there, he felt a chill in his ears, and heard a voice almost from the back of his head: "... Xu"

Li Jing's behavior is rigorous, and their relationship has not yet reached the stage of only calling names but not surnames.

Xu Xu finally understood. He turned his attention back to his hands, looked down at the compass with a flashlight, and continued walking without saying a word.

After a while, another old man came to ask him for directions. The old man's voice was hoarse, and his accent was from Sichuan. He didn't say a word and didn't respond.

Then, he heard the laughter of children playing, a little boy and a little girl giggling, the sound was terribly close, as if it was right at the back of his trousers, just need to stop a step, these ghost children can hug him calf.

He would rather hear the cry than the laughter, the laughter was so frightening, his vest felt cold, and he walked faster.

The compass itself is one of the magical weapons. Even if it does not have the nature of attack, it is not a problem to defend against an ordinary ghost. He squeezed the compass tightly.

Sure enough, the voice gradually disappeared, Xu Xu only felt that his nerves were about to collapse.This was the first time he had heard a ghost so clearly, calling his name with a human voice, and conjured up so many creepy voices.

If this had been done a few hours ago, he thought it was a big joke. In Xu Xu's impression, ghosts have always been invisible souls, they are afraid of people, and it is impossible for them to appear. How can you explain it to others?

"Help! Help me!" A sharp female voice broke the moment of silence.

Xu Xu was startled by the sudden sound and jumped a step. The flashlight in his hand suddenly went out. In the darkness, his hand trembled, and the compass fell to the ground.

"Damn it, shit!" Xu Xu immediately knelt down and fumbled, but as soon as his hand touched the ground, he touched a pool of water, but it was not the same as water, it seemed a little sticky.

Xu Xu withdrew his hand and sniffed it under his nose. The stench made him sick and strengthened his judgment.

He searched around in the dark, but failed to touch the compass on the ground. He continued to move two steps to the left, and heard the sound of dripping water around him, and the water level on the ground was rising, as if it had reached the back of his feet.

The disgusting feeling made him almost give up, Xu Xu tried to comfort himself, these were all hallucinations, and he had to keep looking for the compass.

Suppressing the feeling of vomiting, he stretched out his hands to scoop up the pool of blood, and felt the viscous liquid stick to his fingers.

There was no sound around, only the sound of the blood being stirred. Xu Xu heard his own irregular heartbeat and heavy breathing, which were extremely clear in the eerily quiet atmosphere.

Xu Xu squatted and moved a step to the left, suddenly felt a thin piece of cloth floating across his forehead.

Shouting bad in his heart, he raised his head quickly, it was basically difficult to see anything in the dark, he could barely see the shape of a piece of cloth hanging in front of him.

He judged from the shape that this was a shroud.

The shroud was unusually long, floating in the air empty, as if there was nothing inside.

He didn't want to imagine the color of the shroud and what would suddenly appear on the shroud.

Xu Xu didn't feel particularly scared, only a feeling of being extremely tired, and his energy was exhausted due to the excessive consumption before.

Suddenly, his fingertips touched the compass, his spirit shook, and he grinned proudly: "Being a ghost, I still can't change my bad nature. How can I not go to hell if I bully the good and fear the evil?" Compass, but saw that the shroud was still floating in front of his eyes, not afraid of the magic weapon in his hand at all.

There was a gloomy sneer in the air, Xu Xu listened carefully, it was not a human laughter, but a weird sound, like the creaking sound of a wooden door, the gloominess became heavier and heavier .

The last glimmer of hope in his heart disappeared. It seemed that he had met a powerful character.

The flashlight at the back suddenly turned on, and a strip of yellow paper flew over and stuck to the shroud.

Only then did Xu Xu see that the yellow paper was a spell, and many calligraphy and paintings like "fire" and "thunder" were written on it.The yellow paper was pasted on the shroud, and the shroud turned out not to be white as he imagined, but black.

But the black long life jacket seems to be more terrifying than the white one, with an added sense of suffocating heaviness.

"The emperor of heaven, the emperor of the earth, the disciples shake the fire in their hands. If you tell you to do it, you will do it... Burn five miles to the east, five miles to the west, five miles to the south, five miles to the north, burn to 25 miles, and burn gold and gold." Burn iron to melt, burn mountains to explode, burn stones to break, burn trees to break... I obey the Supreme Lord's urgent order!" Li Jingxing bit his finger and directly swept the blood on the talisman.

The black shroud was instantly ignited by a burst of blue fire, and began to burn violently in the mist.

Xu Xu took two steps back, and was held down by Li Jingxing's shoulders from behind, with a hot force.

There was no smoke coming out of the blue flames, and he heard screams and whispers.

To Xu Xu, this tone was more like begging for mercy.

"Burn!" The blue fire light increased a lot for a while, reflecting Li Jingxing's face with sharp edges and corners, with seriousness in his bones.

In a short while, Lan Huo disappeared together with this weird thing.

The dense fog around began to recede, the moon hung in the sky in the wilderness outskirts, and the clouds were thick, covering the stars.The air is clear, mixed with the peculiar smell of feces in the countryside.

The two turned their heads and saw that the Jeep Wrangler was only 50 meters behind them. They actually wandered back and forth within the distance of 50 meters for these two hours.

It is impossible to explain the strange things they encountered in words, and it is impossible to use rational logic to deduce their situation just now.

"Get in the car." Li Jingxing patted the other person's shoulder: "I'll drive, we'll drive to a safer place and park overnight."

Xu Xu was already tired, so he didn't refuse. He quickly returned to the passenger seat, slumped on the seat, and watched Li Jingxing open the door and get into the car from the other side.

"Did you use Taoist Five Thunder Fire just now?" Xu Xu asked curiously, "Did you burn that ghost?"

"En." Li Jingxing adjusted the rearview mirror.

"Why did you disappear on purpose just now?"

"In order to lure it out." Li Jingxing said: "Even if we can get out smoothly, it will continue to harm other people. I must let him die."

"Then as the person who sends you money, what about my safety?" Xu Xu fastened his seat belt with a downcast face: "You have not done your job well, violated the contract, and openly despised the life and safety of your companions. This time, you can only Here you... seventy-five thousand."

Li Jingxing was noncommittal and started the car.

"By the way, why can I see the flames of your Wuleihuo?" Xu Xu felt cold, so he closed the car windows tightly and turned on the air conditioner.

"Because I lowered your Yanghuo, you can see my Taoism, and you can also see that ghost." Li Jingxing said without hesitation: "If you get thrown out of the car now, you can still see many things that you couldn't see before. something that arrived."

"Don't be naughty, give me back the Yanghuo." Xu Xu suddenly smiled obsequiously.

"5000 yuan, how about it?"

"Be kind, little Taoist priest." Xu Xu smirked.

"But, you are not kind at all." Li Jingxing turned his head and said sharply, "You lied to me."
