I began to recall the relevant knowledge in the Tianshi Lu in my mind, trying to find a way to solve it.
Suddenly, the old man's body shook violently, and he let out a strange scream that did not sound like a human voice.
The sound was sharp and harsh, making the surrounding air seem to be shaken.
I felt a powerful evil energy bursting out of the old man, competing with our spells.
Yuan Ling frowned, obviously feeling the power of this force.
"We have to be careful, this kind of power is not something ordinary evil spirits can possess." Yuan Ling warned me in a low voice.
I nodded, clenched the magic weapon with both hands, and concentrated on fighting against this power.
I felt my mental and physical energy draining rapidly, but I knew I couldn't give up.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a strange air flow coming from a corner of the village. It was an ancient and evil breath, which seemed to be closely related to the secret of the village.
"Yuan Ling, I feel something..." I said slightly tiredly.
"I feel it too." Yuan Ling replied, her eyes becoming sharper, "There is some unknown power hidden in this village, and we must find it out."
Finally, with our persistence, the old man's body gradually calmed down and his breathing returned to normal.
I carried the old man to the bed inside the house, then came outside and nodded towards Yuan Ling.
I knew that this exorcism was just the beginning of the secrets of the village.
The old lady who had cooked for us came over shakily, with a look of concern and anxiety on her face.
"How is my old man doing now?" she asked anxiously.
I took a deep breath and tried to sound calmer.
“We have temporarily stabilized the evil spirit in his body.
However, in order to completely exorcise this force, we need to perform a larger exorcism ritual.
I need something. "
The old lady nodded hurriedly, "You tell me what you need, and I'll prepare it right away."
I thought for a moment and then said: "We need fresh chicken blood, rice wine, and some iron nails.
In addition, a piece of uncarved jade is needed to fix the energy of the ceremony. "
The old lady nodded repeatedly, appearing very cooperative.
"Okay, okay, I'll get ready.
Just a moment. "
As she left, the people around her also dispersed.
Looking at the backs of everyone leaving in a hurry, I turned to Yuan Ling.
"This village is not simple, we must be careful."
Yuan Ling nodded, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Yes, there are secrets hidden here that we don't know about."
While we were talking, I suddenly felt a strong pang of hunger, which confused me because I remembered that we had had dinner not long ago.
I turned around and asked Yuan Ling: "Do you feel hungry? Why am I so hungry suddenly."
Yuan Ling's face changed slightly, and she replied in a low voice: "Me too.
But we just had something to eat in the evening. "
Suddenly, a light of realization flashed in her eyes, "Could it be that what we eat... is fake?"
My heart was shaken, and an ominous premonition spread in my heart.
"you mean……"
"Did we enter a... ghost village?" Yuan Ling's voice contained a hint of uncertainty and fear.
I felt a chill go up my spine and the thought made me shudder.
"If this is really the case...then all of this, including the old man's situation, may be a trap."
At this moment, the old lady led the little girl and walked in with something in her hand.
I looked at the chicken blood and other items in their hands, and felt an unusual feeling in my heart.
Those things looked ordinary, but I could feel that they exuded a strong yin energy and no trace of yang energy at all.
The old lady walked up to me and handed me a large bowl of chicken blood with a kind smile on her face.
"This is the chicken blood we prepared. You can take it."
I didn't take it immediately, but stared at the bowl of chicken blood, the doubts in my heart getting deeper and deeper.
"This chicken blood..."
Yuan Ling stood beside me nervously, and she also noticed the abnormality of these items.
"Horse science, be careful, there's something wrong with these things."
I turned to look at the old lady, trying to detect her reaction.
"Why is this chicken blood like this? Why is it full of yin energy?"
The old lady's smile was a little stiff, "Oh, this is just ordinary chicken blood. Don't you Taoist priests often use these things? Don't think too much, just take it."
I felt like there was a subtle provocation in her words.
I took a deep breath and reached out to take the bowl of chicken blood. My fingers touched the cold liquid, and a chill spread down my arms.
The old lady looked at me with a half-smile, a hint of mockery in her eyes.
The anger in my heart was completely ignited.
I suddenly took out a piece of talisman paper from my pocket and threw it hard on the old lady's face.
The talisman immediately burned when it came into contact with the old lady's face, making a crackling sound.
The old lady let out a horrible scream, and her face began to distort, revealing her true face - an old monster with wrinkles on her face, deep-set eyes, and a cold aura.
When the little girl saw this, she screamed and backed away. Her body also began to change, turning into a ferocious-looking imp.
As the old lady screamed, other residents in the village were attracted.
Their footsteps were so heavy that it made people feel a little irritated.
The first person who rushed in was a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face, curiosity and cunning shining in his eyes.
Seeing the situation in the field, he was stunned for a moment, and then grinned. The laughter was full of weirdness and evil.
In the laughter, his figure changed and turned into a female ghost wearing tattered clothes and with long hair, her eyes flashing with a cold light.
Immediately afterwards, a white-haired old man staggered in. His eyes, which were already sunken, became even darker, like a bottomless abyss.
When he opened his mouth, it was full of fangs that made people shudder, and he turned into a terrifying old ghost.
Yuan Ling and I stood closely together, facing this sudden drastic change.
Although we were surprised, we were more angry.
It's so disrespectful to openly put two of us monks into a ghost village!
"It seems that this challenge is not easy." I held the magic weapon tightly and whispered.
"No matter what, we can't retreat." Yuan Ling's voice revealed firmness and calmness.
The ghosts quickly surrounded us, their laughter and taunts echoing in the night sky, creating an atmosphere of depression and terror.
I began to recite the incantation to exorcise ghosts, and the light on the magic weapon became brighter and brighter.
Yuan Ling also started to cast her spell. The magic weapon in her hand emitted a dazzling light, and the light seemed to contain powerful power.
"Come on, let me see your true colors!" I said loudly, rushing forward, and the magic weapon drew bright lights in the air.
