Chapter 278 [Anonymous mother-in-law and corpse soil]
Although I cannot move forward, it is still easy for the two of them to destroy this formation.
"Since others are so unwelcoming to us, we will wait outside, I believe you will handle it."
Bai Han simply turned around and looked at the woods in the distance, and stopped moving.
Li Mubai nodded and walked slowly towards the hut. Before he could get close, the door of the hut opened on its own, and an old woman sat inside, staring at Li Mubai with a smile on her face.
"Since you're here, what are you doing? The old woman is ready for refreshments."
The old voice rang in everyone's ears.
After walking into the hut, it was very warm inside. An oil lamp was placed on a wooden table, and a bean-sized light appeared from the oil lamp, illuminating a side.
From the light, I could barely see the Chengs in the room, a bed, a few wooden furniture, and this wooden table. There was nothing extra. A woman in her seventies or eighties sat next to the table. She was gray-haired, but she was combed neatly. In addition, her face was covered with wrinkles, her eyes were very turbid, and her mouth was a little crooked, but she looked kind.
"Old lady, you live here alone? How did you know we were coming?"
After Li Mubai walked in, he looked around and spoke slowly, without using the hot tea and pastries on the wooden table. He still had this alertness.
"Have you ever seen a second person? Don't call me an old lady, am I very old? I'm only sixty years old this year, and they are very panicked, so I naturally know that you are here."
The old woman smiled, pointed to the three stools next to the table, and signaled the three of them to sit down.
"Sixty? Why do you look..."
As soon as Na Sheng sat down, he was shocked when he heard the old woman's words.
What she said is not false. The old woman looks at least over 80 years old, but when she hears her speaking, she is only sixty. Moreover, ordinary people who practice Taoism know how to nourish themselves.
"You are not ordinary people who can come here. It's okay to tell you. I have been here for at least ten years and have been suppressing the evil spirits here. Now my life span is losing a lot, and the other party is getting stronger and stronger. As early as a few years ago, I was no longer under my jurisdiction. I cannot leave here and ask for help from the master. I have to use the secret technique of reducing life span. Now I have not had much time. I am very pleased that you can come when I am about to pass away."
The old woman is like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time.
"Old lady, who is this evil spirit leader?"
Li Mubai asked again.
"He was a wronged soul who had been dead for a long time and escaped from the underworld. More than ten years ago, the underworld was in chaos. He took advantage of that time to escape to this sea area. Many years ago, he was a water ghost. Because he had committed many evil deeds in front of him, he would have to be punished by the underworld before he could be reincarnated. He was unwilling to accept it and finally took the opportunity to escape from the underworld. There was a disaster here. I was originally a traveler, but after I got here, I wanted to get rid of this evil spirit, but the other party was too powerful. I spent a lot of effort to suppress this evil spirit, but I never dared to leave this place. He killed too many people, and the wronged soul did not disperse, and there was no secret message in the sea to arrest him."
The old woman sighed and said slowly.
"That old lady, you know where the corpse of the evil spirit is. If he can find it and destroy it, he will be doomed."
Na Sheng said coldly.
"Although the most effective way to eliminate corpses, if even corpses are destroyed, it means that both body and spirit are destroyed."
The old woman shook her head, and a trace of compassion appeared on her face.
"I think there is only this way. When I cast the Mercy Curse, the other party doesn't appreciate it at all. This time, I have to fight hard with these evil spirits and ghosts and hone them."
Su Ming sneered and stroked the Tianlong Ba Pi in his hand.
These evil spirits don’t take this trick at all, they can only use violence to fight violence.
"I'm almost dead now. When necessary, I will urge my last strength to help you."
The old woman nodded and looked at the oil lamp on the table, feeling a little helpless.
She has been guarding this island for more than ten years and finally has an end. She can be freed. In the past ten years, she has spent most of her life to protect the safety of one area. Now the evil power is growing and she can no longer control it. Now that someone has finally come, her life has come to an end, and she doesn't know whether it is sad or joy.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, I don't know what mother-in-law calls her."
Li Mubai nodded gratefully.
"Wu Ming, after you leave the hut, go directly to the center of the island. There is the place where the evil spirits buried bones. I have been there before, but there will be some other forces next to you to stop you. These forces are actually some resentful corpses that have been for many years. His corpses are hidden in the pond in the center of the island. Be careful. The reason why I set up the surrounding formation is to block those evil forces from harassing me, not intentionally stop your friends."
The mother-in-law, who claimed to be nameless, glanced at the distance and said with a smile.
"Well, we remember."
Li Mubai nodded, and then the three of them left the hut and went outside, but Bai Han and Lin Xueer were not seen.
"When they were here just now, why did they disappear all at once? Have they already started looking for the fierce spirit?"
Su Ming asked curiously.
"It should be, let's go quickly."
Li Mubai speeded up his pace. With Bai Han and Lin Xueer together, how could these fierce spirits be opponents?
While walking through the forest, heavy snow suddenly fell in the air, and the cold wind blew from time to time, making people feel cold. There were still many sharp screams in the wind circling in the ears of everyone.
It took about half an hour to go around the woods and reach the center of the island.
The middle of this small island is flat, and surrounded by undulating mountains. There is a pool of water in the middle. The wind is so strong, but it cannot blow a trace of turbulence. It is really weird. The pool is surrounded by pitch black soil, without the growth of vegetation, but a piece of black, with a range of at least a hundred meters wide. This black soil is like an extra vacuum area.
Walking to the black soil, Li Mubai squatted down, stretched out his hand and twisted it, then put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and immediately threw it away, his stomach rolled a little, feeling very uncomfortable.
This black soil is clearly the soil for corpse raising, and it is also very humid. There is also a smell of corpse odor inside, which is the smell of dead fish and rotten shrimps that they smelled as soon as they got on the island.
"Bai Han and the others seem to be no longer here."
Su Ming looked around and found that there were no figures of Bai Han and Lin Xueer around. The surroundings were very quiet, terrifying.
There are no birds and beasts on this small island. Generally, this kind of isolated island is inhabited by seabirds and some small animals, but now there is nothing. It is dark around it, so quiet that you can only hear the whistling wind and the heavy snow falling all over the sky.
Li Mubai began to step onto this black soil. After walking for a few steps, he felt his feet sticky. After a few steps, the soles of his shoes were already covered with large areas of black soil, which made him frown.
The same was true for Su Ming and Na Sheng. Halfway through his walk, Li Mubai suddenly felt that the light-shaped mark on his eyebrows was faintly hot.
"careful!"
Li Mubai suddenly turned his head and spoke loudly, but as soon as he finished speaking, his feet became soft and a cold breath spread from his ankles. When he looked down, his fur was about to explode. Two extremely pale palms stretched out from the black soil and firmly grabbed his ankles. When he pulled it down, his body sank a little.
As soon as these hands touched their ankles, their body was like ice and could not move.
Not only Li Mubai, but Na Sheng and Su Ming also encountered this situation.
And their bodies were sinking little by little. If they really sank into the soil, not to mention any strange things inside, just being airtight would be enough to make them suffocate to death.
Li Mubai wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound, and he was sweating profusely.
However, Na Sheng gritted his teeth, and his chest began to fluctuate violently. Her mouth opened and made a strange cry, very much like the sound of insects.
After a while, three golden-winged insects flew out of her backpack, landing on her own forehead and Su Ming's forehead.
The little bug couldn't see clearly, but Li Mubai was sure that he had some similarities with bees and other bees, because he felt that the little bug pierced a needle-like tail prick into his forehead, which made him scream loudly.
"You can talk!"
Li Mubai was surprised, but the golden-winged insect fell from his forehead and fell into the black soil, disappearing and disappearing gloriously.
After being stabbed by this strange little bug, he felt that his body was not that cold, but the two arms still grabbed him on his feet. In shock and anger, he directly opened the talisman bag on his waist with his right hand, clamped his two slender fingers in, and a yellow talisman appeared between his fingers.
"The heaven and earth are lively, the universe borrows the method, the central Wu Earth protects my body, Wu Earth Divine Thunder Talisman, hurry up and follow the law!"
After saying that, he suddenly slapped the talisman on his body, and the yellow talisman immediately turned into a faint earth-yellow halo and penetrated into his body.
"Swish!"
The sound of an electric arc sounded from under his feet, and two electric arcs shot out from under his feet, directly shattering the two extremely cold palms.
Su Ming directly grabbed the eight Tianlong rulers and waved them down. A golden light was scattered in the soil. With a crack, Su Ming pulled out his feet and grabbed both palms tightly on his feet, but it seemed that his wrist was cut by something sharp, but no blood flowed out of it.
Na Sheng also took out the ebony sword behind him, inserted it into the soil in front of him, pinched the orchid finger with his right hand, muttering something in his mouth, and then a blue light emerged from his fingertips. Pressing the hilt of the ebony sword, the blue light poured into the sword body directly, and she pulled out her feet that were trapped in the black soil.
At this moment, the surrounding ground swayed violently, and most of them suddenly cracked, and a grayish-white aura appeared.
This grayish-white smell is very unpleasant and disgusting.
"Corpsy, be careful!"
Li Mubai pinched his nose and reminded him loudly.
