The Exorcist

How could her mischief be hidden from Guan Zheng's eyes. Perhaps he didn't realize it because of the moment of shame and anger, but he later learned the truth. However, he still did not let go of the people related to the wedding. In his paranoid heart, those who talked to him about this marriage, arranged this marriage with him, and failed to guard his bride were the ones who suffered the humiliation. part, so everyone has to pay his debt!

At that time, he had not yet refined the ghost voodoo, but had only paid attention to it while studying ancient witchcraft. The death of the bride inspired him to decide to refine this terrible voodoo. He first secretly replaced the bride's body so that she would remain in a newly dead state and her soul would remain with her. Then he manipulated many of his 'enemies' to jump off the cliff in their sleep, and used their bodies to refine the poison, waiting for it to be refined. It was only after he became a ghost that the ghost poison fell on the bride again, making her unable to get rid of him even if she became a ghost!

Awu had been hiding for a long time before, but although others could not find her, Guan Zheng found her. He didn't kill her, he wanted her to endure the same pain and unwillingness as he did during his lifetime. He gave her a strange poison that prevented her from getting any heat or sunlight. As long as she lived, she would stay in a dark corner like a bug, spending the day alone and drinking blood. Another day, even if I die, I will still be a lonely ghost!

He also said: Never let Awu see his face, otherwise he will make her into a 'gu' and become his tool to hurt others, and she will be enslaved by him forever!

So Awu stayed in the depths of the jungle like a savage for decades, unable to go home, talk to people, and enjoy everything that normal people have. Until today, she decided to get rid of this endless punishment and face her sins.

She confessed everything to Ruan Zhan and asked Ruan Zhan to save her. Although death is terrible, living with despair and strong self-condemnation is even more painful. So Ruan Zhan asked her to guard the due north position of the quadrangle, and based on the information she provided about Guan Zheng, he formulated a method to round him up.

But when she faced Guan Zheng, she was still frightened and hesitant due to the accumulated power. Thanks to Wan Li's words, she once again strengthened her determination to seek relief, let go of all fears, and her heart was no longer shaken. .

Die! After Guan Zheng dies, except for ghost Gu, all the people who have been poisoned by him will be free! Even if it doesn't work, at least she atones for her sins!

Another unsettling factor in this square formation is the female ghost guarding the due west exit.

It was Wan Li's idea to invite her, and the reason why Wan Li was so blessed that he thought of such a powerful helper was because the story he told Xiaoxia about that year inspired him.

If Awu did something wrong because of jealousy, this female ghost went astray because of doting. It's just that she was lucky enough to have a chance to change her mind - she was taken to the mountains by the Bao family to practice and do good deeds for those who died in vain, so as to protect their future lives!

She is the mother of the strange baby, the Duan Jin who practices Yin and Yang eyes!

Originally Ruan Zhan was unwilling to do this. Because his father and Bao Datong's father had an agreement, each would help the other's son a favor, but Uncle Bao had fulfilled his promise ten years ago, but his father had passed away and could no longer help Bao Datong. It would be difficult for him to make additional requests now with his proud personality.

But Wan Li believed that they were just asking Duan Jin for help, not the Bao family and his son. In addition, Guan Zheng has harmed countless people. If you do your part to get rid of him, it will be considered a great merit of Duan Jin and will be a great good thing for her.

So Ruan Zhan quietly invited Duan Jin to guard the west. Although Duan Jin agreed with Uncle Bao's affirmation, she still hated Ruan Zhan and Wan Li. Although she has been practicing for ten years, she is a mother. She lost her child. No matter how bad the child was, it was her only one after all.

Therefore, she will only do what she promised - prevent Guan Zheng from escaping and cooperate with the other three parties defending the formation. She will never care about other things. Assuming that Ruan Zhan couldn't withstand Guan Zheng's pressure and allowed the formation to be broken from other directions, she would not care about the life and death of these two men. She would be lucky not to step on them!

The trouble is, this small valley has exactly the same landform features as the valley where they suffered the disaster. Even the small waterfall and pool are the same. If Duan Jin is moved by the scene and turns against the enemy, Ruan Zhan and the others will definitely die!

After ten years of practice, her yin and yang eyes have become more powerful. Although this is beneficial to rounding up Guan Zheng, it will be a catastrophe if she takes the opposite side of them!

Not only that, in the series of battles, Ruan Zhan mainly resisted Guan Zheng, who was far more powerful than himself. He struggled to support himself all the way. Only with his wits and courage could he survive in a weak situation. After breaking several of Guan Zheng's magic weapons, although he greatly weakened the opponent's strength and gained an advantage, Ruan Zhan was also injured and his physical strength was almost reaching its limit.

On the surface, it seemed that they had forced Guan Zheng into a real square formation, leaving him unable to escape and gaining the upper hand. In fact, this also forced them into a life-and-death showdown with Guan Zheng. You can't take a step back, because taking a step back means death!

"Start the formation!" Ruan Zhan's voice broke the dangerous silence in the valley.

At this time, the moon quietly stepped out of the thick clouds and hung high in the sky above the small valley. Its cold light poured down, witnessing the battle that was about to begin.

Xiao Xia looked at Ruan Zhan worriedly, and saw that he had stood up again after a short breath, holding the blood-wood sword pointed at Guan Zheng. Although his face was pale, he was calm and determined.

He looks as cold as a knife again!

She thought to herself, not feeling nervous at such a critical moment, and her whole heart was focused on Jizhan. Although he was in a square array with a side length of 50 to 60 meters, because Ruan Zhan had used talisman to touch his eyes beforehand, he could see the slightest expression on his face.

His lips were tightly pursed, and there was a streak of blood on his straight nose. His eyes were shining, staring at Guan Zheng for a moment, with a look of determination that made Xiao Xia understand instantly. As the saying goes - when we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

He has unparalleled courage, so he will definitely be able to defeat the opponent, not to mention it is just a small correction, even if he comes, it will be the same!

Echoing Ruan Zhan, Wan Li answered, took out a piece of talisman paper from the pile of bluestones, and immediately threw it into the incense burner in front of him. This is used to activate the formation. Although it is different from the spells painted on the four walls in the Octagon, the effect is the same. Ruan Zhan once said: All formations and spellcasting must be adapted to local conditions.

As soon as the talisman was put into the incense burner without any fire, it immediately started to burn. The people present only felt an abnormal flow of air around them, knowing that the real square array had been opened. From this moment on, unless the array was broken, Or the people who set up the formation must withdraw, otherwise no one will be able to get out!

Seeing that the formation had been activated, Wan Li immediately threw two more talismans into the incense burner according to the previous agreement. Then he held the rough wooden sword in his left hand and the wooden stick in his right hand, guarding the side of the incense burner with a serious expression. Observing the movements of Guan Zheng, who was in the center of the square array.

I saw that Guan Zheng did not dare to be careless. He stood attentively for a few seconds, as if he was trying to identify the direction of the wind. Then he sneered and suddenly threw the black wooden stick he had been holding tightly into the air. At the same time, he recited a series of spells from his mouth. come out.

He spoke the dialect of an ethnic minority, which everyone could not understand, and all their attention was focused on Awu. But seeing the confusion on her face, she obviously didn't know what kind of magic weapon Guan Zheng was practicing.

The black wooden stick did not fall after being thrown into the air. It was just hanging so high in the air, which was extremely strange. What's even more weird is that this solid wooden stick, which is only two feet long, actually sprays black smoke outwards, and I don't know where the smoke comes from!

"Poison smoke, be careful!" Ruan Zhan shouted again.

Although this formation is defended by all parties, everything must be under his command.

As soon as he spoke, he drew a talisman between his eyebrows to seal all his breath. On the other side, Xiaoxia and Wanli each took out a talisman from their pockets and pasted it on their chests. They also took out a talisman from the bamboo basket. I found a gas mask and put it on.

Ruan Zhan knows that there are many ways to spread the poison. For a skilled poison wizard, not only ingestion, but also breathing or even skin contact can cause people to be poisoned. Guan Zheng was a genius in Gu magic and had divine powers, so he made careful and thorough preparations.

Upon seeing this, Awu on the side immediately tore off a clump of weeds next to her, chanted a few spells and stuffed it into her mouth, while Duan Jin just waved her hand in front of her face, and her face no longer looked like one. The beauty's face looked like a stiff mask, just like back then, a Japanese kabuki-style fake face. She is a ghost, she does not need to breathe and has no skin, but Guan Zheng can cast ghost poison. Who knows if there are other ways to deal with ghosts, of course we must be on guard!

Guan Zheng ignored the actions of Ruan Zhan and others and continued to chant the curse without any intention of stopping. It only took a moment for this small valley, which was extremely brightly illuminated by the moonlight, to fall into extreme darkness.

This darkness is so thick and dense that people in it feel like they have no eyes at all. It's not just that you can't see your fingers. That way, you can at least feel whether you are standing or sitting. But in this darkness, You can't even feel the coordinates, and the surrounding air seems to be surging like waves, exuding waves of disgusting salty smell, making people feel like they are in a black sea of ​​hell.

"***, this old guy put us in the inkpot!" Wan Li muttered.

His voice stabilized Xiaoxia, who almost fell because she had no sense of coordinates. She fumbled and grabbed the edge of the big bluestone in front of her, and barely stood still. Just when he was about to say something, he saw a bright light flashing in the direction of Ruan Zhan.

Xiaoxia knew that it was his light talisman, which he had used when fighting the scholar ghost underwater. However, I don’t know if it’s because of the difference in skill compared with Guan Zheng, or because he was injured, but his light talisman only illuminates a small area, like a spotlight on a stage, it only shines less than around him. An area of ​​two or three square meters. Although Xiaoxia and Wanli could see him, he couldn't see them.

I saw Ruan Zhan stretched out his hand and pulled out another light talisman, pointed towards the east, and let the talisman shoot over like an arrow. Seeing that a ray of light was about to cut through the darkness, he heard a 'pop' sound, It fell in mid-air again.

"Don't panic!" Ruan Zhan said in a deep voice.

What answered him was a cold smile, which came from the place where the spell fell. It was obviously intercepted by Guan Zheng while casting the spell.

"Duan Jin, use your sun eyes to illuminate." Ruan Zhan ordered.

He knew that it was the most yang thing, and he felt that there was a heavy yin energy in the black mist around him. He was afraid that it was refined in some pile of dead people or underground tombs. So as soon as the sun thing comes out, he just needs to hit the light talisman on it, and the black mist covering the square array will be broken.

However, when he said a word, there was no movement in Duan Jin's direction. He repeated it loudly, but still no response. His heart trembled, knowing that this unstable factor still caused trouble - she promised to guard Zhengdong of this formation, and promised not to let Guan Zheng escape from her side. She would do this, but other things She refused to help, but she still hated them for killing the evil baby!

In the dark fog, they couldn't see anything, but Guan Zheng could. But Guan Zheng was not worried about taking advantage of the darkness to escape, because once the formation was activated, it seemed to have set up a barrier, and both those defending and attacking the formation seemed to be in a box. He was only afraid that he would hide in the darkness and sneak attack on the other two defenders. A Wu is just a Taoist woman with some supernatural powers, and can only fight against Guan Zheng's witchcraft with her familiarity; Wan Li and Xiao Xia are ordinary people. If Guan Zheng attacks this side with darkness, they will not be able to fight back. , and quite dangerous.

In the square formation, in terms of strength, only he and Duan Jin can truly compete with Guan Zheng. But now that Duan Jin is unwilling to help, and he cannot leave the position he needs to defend, he must find another way to subdue Guan Zheng's black mist. !

As if in response to his judgment, a sound of water came over, coming from the pool. He understood that Guan Zheng was about to wade through this pool with water only up to his waist, because on the other side was due east where Wan Li and Xiao Xia were guarding.

The east is the birth gate of this formation, and it is next to a waterfall, which has the meaning of flow. Guan Zheng will definitely want to leave from this direction. Although he would question why two of the most incompetent people were assigned to guard such an important position, he was eager to leave now and would definitely think it was because Ruan Zhan trusted Wan Li and Xiao Xia. Just like at this moment, he didn't even have time to bypass this small pool and just crossed the water.

Guan Zheng cannot be allowed to attack Dongfang now!

In anxiety, he focused his mind, chanted the spell softly, and then shouted, "Xiaoxia, let go!" With the sound of 'chichi' breaking through the air, he immediately took back the broken piece that Xiaoxia had been holding. banner.

Feeling the coolness of the metal in his hand, he once again pointed it towards the west and raised it, "Don't force me to take you in!" He said coldly and forcefully, "If you agree to help, you must obey my command. Otherwise, I don’t care how many years you have practiced Taoism, or how good you have been, if you disobey me, I won’t be polite!”

Duan Jin's side was still completely silent, and his words seemed to melt into the air, useless. And the sound of wading in the water became louder, indicating that Guan Zheng had reached the center of the pool!

Ruan Zhan was facing due west. Although he couldn't see it, he felt that there was a strong ghost presence there. He knew that Duan Jin had not left, but she was determined not to help.

He was cruel and concentrated all his spiritual power, telekinesis power and mana power on the Broken Flag.

As he shouted loudly, the cracked banner suddenly grew larger! This time it was no longer half a person tall, but more than a person tall. The metallic flags had a reddish-brown shimmer flowing on them, like water ripples, and a strong whirlwind rolled up towards the west!

Because he was too anxious, unknowingly, another level of his sealed ability was released!
