Chapter 24: Crisis
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/
Suddenly, he met a face and was almost facing each other. Not to mention Zhou Shaojin, I'm afraid anyone else would be scared, especially those pure white eyes that almost burst out, which was creepy. Zhou Shaojin only felt that the blood in his body was frozen in an instant, his whole body was cold, and his brain was almost blank in an instant.
However, just a moment of frightening, Zhou Shaojin returned to clear-headedness, responded quickly, and his feet landed on the ground, and his whole person fell backwards, pulling away from the female ghost. At the same time, with a wave of his right hand, a dark chain had been thrown out of his right hand like lightning. This was the soul-retaining chain, which was dark and transparent, shining like obsidian. According to the information in the Impermanence Order, the soul-retaining chain was specially designed to restrain the soul, but Zhou Shaojin didn't know the specific effect, and had never tried it. At this moment, he could only pray in his heart that the soul-retaining chain could be more powerful.
"Swish!Swish!"
The soul-retaining chain shot out, as fast as lightning, and as sharp as a dragon, and was extremely fast. In Zhou Shaojin's sight, the soul-retaining chain almost turned into a lightning, and shot directly at the ghost in front of him. At this time, Zhou Shaojin himself sat on the ground, his butt was hot, but he had no intention of paying attention to this and got up from the ground in a flash.
At this time, the soul-retaining chain also came to the female ghost. In Zhou Shaojin's sight, the entire soul-retaining chain seemed to have a living spirit. When it shot to the female ghost, it almost turned into a black snake. It directly circled around the female ghost three times and tied the female ghost like a rope. The female ghost's pale and scary face showed panic and terrifying look on its pale face, and its body struggled violently, but as the female ghost struggled, the soul-retaining chain tightened. As the female ghost struggled, the entire soul-retaining chain shrank tighter and tighter, almost shrinking into the female ghost's soul body...
Zhou Shaojin was surprised that he didn't even control the Soul-Retention Chain. He just wanted to use the Soul-Retention Chain to deal with the female ghost. Unexpectedly, the Soul-Retention Chain directly bound the female ghost like he was consciously, and he could not let the female ghost break free. This made him feel relieved and his courage suddenly became much bigger.
The reason why people are afraid of ghosts is that besides the scary appearance of ghosts, the most important thing is that they cannot deal with these things. However, at this moment, Zhou Shaojin became much more confident when he knew that the soul-detention chain could bind the other party. Although he was still feeling scared when he saw the female ghost, it was much better. However, he also knew that this was not the time to delay time, because from the corner of his eyes, the white figure had floated towards him from the direction of the county hospital, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Before he could think too much, Zhou Shaojin directly recited the Soul-Shipping Sutra. He still didn't know the specific meaning of the Soul-Shipping Sutra, but he knew that this thing was useful to ghosts like the Soul-Shipping Chain, and could save the ghosts back to the underworld. This is enough for him!
“.##¥@#@%…¥…#…&*……”
The awkward and difficult scriptures were recited from Zhou Shaojin's mouth. His voice was very small, as small as a mosquito. However, when Zhou Shaojin was reciting the Soul Crossing Sutra, as the Soul Crossing Sutra was recited, the female ghost who was struggling violently slowly became quiet. On her body, a faint bright light appeared, like a firefly, and gradually the fluorescence became stronger. In the end, as Zhou Shaojin's last sentence was recited, the female ghost bound by the soul chain completely turned into a ray of shooting and disappeared into the sky!
At the same time, the information of the Impermanence Order was conveyed in Zhou Shaojin's mind—
"Wuchang Zhou Shaojin, save one ghost and reward 2 merit points!"
Less than two minutes from the appearance of the female ghost to the rescuing of the soul chain, this process is a lot but very fast. However, when he heard the message from the Impermanence Order, Zhou Shaojin was stunned for a moment, because the female ghost salvation actually rewarded him with two merit points, which was a bit beyond his expectations. He clearly remembered that Zhou Guihua only gave him a little reward last time.
Is there any difference between the two? Zhou Shaojin guessed so much, but there was no time to think about it at this time, because in her sight, the figure floating from the county hospital was almost at the intersection, less than a hundred meters!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Picking up the chopsticks on the ground, Zhou Shaojin knocked on the porcelain bowl again, staring at the white shadow floating from the county hospital. At this time, the white shadow was almost at the intersection and floated towards it, appearing and disappearing. As he approached, Zhou Shaojin also saw the other person clearly. He was a middle-aged woman wearing a white sick dress and her long hair was dripping from the front to cover most of her face. This made it difficult to see her entire face clearly, but it was even more terrifying.
Zhou Shaojin guessed that the woman should be a patient who died in the county hospital, and stared at the other party with a tight eye, but soon, Zhou Shaojin jumped again-
"two!"
On the street more than twenty meters behind the female ghost who came out of the county hospital, a white figure appeared in front of a grocery store. It was an old man who looked over seventy years old. He hadn't seen it by Zhou Shaojin for some reason, but at this moment he saw it again. He was also wearing white sick clothes, which was about twenty meters away from the middle-aged woman.
Whether it is the middle-aged woman in sick clothes or the old man in sick clothes, they floated over when they came here, and their feet did not touch the ground. Zhou Shaojin knew that these two were ghosts and were dead. It is indeed difficult to explain the ghosts clearly. Generally speaking, ghosts are soul bodies, and ordinary people cannot see the mortal body with naked eyes, but sometimes, people can see ghosts!
"Clang! Clang! Clang..."
Zhou Shaojin held the chopsticks in his right hand and tapped the porcelain bowl, but his heart was lifted up. The ghost of the middle-aged woman and the ghost of the old man were less than twenty meters away. Once he came, he might be here at the same time. At that time, he would probably have to face two ghosts. With the surprise of dealing with the female ghost just now, he would be confident in dealing with one of these ordinary ghosts, but when faced with two, his palms were sweating!
"Swish!"
Zhou Shaojin's brow jumped again, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the dark alley facing the street in front of him. Cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. In his sight, on the wall more than three meters high on the left of the alley opposite, a black shadow crawled on the wall like a cat, but it was much larger than a cat. Through the blurred light, it was a person who was bowing like a cat and lying on the ninety-degree wall like a cat.
"Three!"
A cold sweat broke out on Zhou Shaojin's forehead. Looking at the thing on the wall of the alley opposite, only a black shadow could be seen from here, but Zhou Shaojin was sure that the other party was looking at him, and it made him feel like he was staring at by a beast. His hair was standing upside down, cold and cold!
Zhou Shaojin's despise changed and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He knew that he might have encountered a powerful ghost, and even some evil ghosts who could harm others. Whether it was the female ghost he had solved before or the two ghosts floating over from the county hospital now, he had never given him such a dangerous feeling, and he felt like he was staring at the prey of the other party.
This feeling cannot be said, but I can clearly feel the sense of crisis of being upside down with hair all over my body. All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind. At this moment, the first thought that Zhou Shaojin thought of was to run away. He had a strong intuition. The soul-detention chain did not have much effect on the thing in the alley, so the wisest choice at this time is to run away.
However, Zhou Shaojin rejected this idea as soon as he thought about it. He felt that he might have been targeted. Once he was targeted by a ghost, where could he go? Moreover, the two ghosts from the county hospital have also arrived. The ghost of the middle-aged woman has passed through the intersection and floated towards him.
