"Erwazi!"
Lin Yi held up the flashlight and shouted again, but there was no response from anyone around him.
However, he has been forced to have no way out by the skeletons and mummies attacking from both sides.
Lin Yi was sure that they had been hit by a "spiritual spell". If they wanted to break this "spiritual spell", they had to find a "spiritual medium".
The interpretation of psychics in ancient and modern times is the same: they refer to people who can communicate with gods, spirits, and ghosts.
They can send certain ghosts and gods to drive away other ghosts and gods; or they can ask certain ghosts and gods to come and help people who ask for help.
This medium can be a living person, and he can hold a witchcraft ceremony on the spot to complete the purpose of channeling and drive ghosts and gods to work for me.
It can also be a dead person. Bimo or Suni (shamans of the Eastern Yi people) can use straw, wood, bamboo leaves, soil and other materials to shape their own image, and then sacrifice snake blood and human blood to replace themselves as " psychic".
Once the aura of a living person approaches, the psychic will be the first to notice it, thereby releasing the curse in his body and activating the "spiritual confusion technique".
Even among all the witchcrafts of the Eastern Yi people, this kind of witchcraft is not a very clever one.
The problem lies in the word "confusion".
Lin Yi had seen many of these scenes. To be honest, they couldn't even talk about corpse transformation, it was just a "cover-up".
Through the activation of a psychic medium, a certain synthetic toxin is released, thereby allowing people to enter an illusion.
It's definitely not possible to leave things alone.
If Chen Erwa was also affected by the "Spirit Confusion Technique", he would most likely be one of the skeletons and mummies attacking him.
Lin Yi himself will also become Chen Erwa's target.
In this state of indistinguishability between friend and foe, once he takes action, the damage to Chen Erwa will be irreversible.
Therefore, until he was surrounded by these things, he never took action.
The barrier knife in his hand kept making bursts of cries, reminding him that danger was approaching.
Lin Yi put his other hand into his backpack and took out three well-preserved dry bamboo leaves. He touched them with two fingers to form a "mountain" shape.
This is one of the must-have items on the list given by Mr. Bai.
According to the theory of Yi Xue, bamboo leaves belong to the Zhengua wood, and the wood can make fire.
The three pieces represent the number of Lihuo, which together form the Leihuofeng hexagram.
Therefore, there is often a saying among the people that "bamboo brings peace".
The basic theories of the witchcraft culture of the Eastern Yi people are closely related to the Central Plains culture.
This kind of yin and yang and the five elements will also influence each other.
Now Lin Yi only needs to follow the method instructed by Mr. Bai, light these three bamboo leaves, and apply the bamboo leaf ash on his eyelids to see where the psychic is at a glance.
Soon enough, the mummies around him began to attack him.
Lin Yi could only use the handle and back of the knife to drive away these mummies and skeletons.
Before they made dumplings for me, I took out a lighter from my pocket and lit three bamboo leaves.
The bamboo leaves ignited for a burst of refreshing fragrance, and a few plant ash fell on it. Lin Yi touched it with two fingers and wiped it on his eyelids.
When you open your eyes again, it's like the two sides are fighting at night and you suddenly turn on the infrared.
The so-called mummies and skeletons in front of him were just illusions. Lin Yi picked up the sword and chopped several people in succession, split a hole, and rushed straight to the place where the pillar had penetrated the mummy.
I didn't see any clues when I looked at it just now, but now I can recognize at a glance that one of the "mummy" is fake.
Wood was used as bones, straw was used as tendons, the whole body was sculpted with black clay, and various details were created with bamboo shoot husks and corn leaves.
Who else could it be but a "spiritual medium"?
Lin Yi reached out and took out the flask, put a mouthful of strong wine in his mouth, held the knife horizontally in his hand, wiped it on the ground, and the strong wine spurted out from his mouth, and a spark ignited the entire wine mist.
The barrier knife turned into a sharp blade with the help of the falling liquor, and slashed towards the fake mummy.
With the knife in hand, Lin Yi chopped the fake mummy into two pieces, and the wooden stake behind him also fell to the ground.
A few wisps of foul-smelling white smoke emerged from the fracture of this "mummy", and the surrounding sounds and illusions stopped abruptly at this moment.
Lin Yi turned on the flashlight and looked around. Everything returned to normal, but Chen Erwa was still nowhere to be seen.
"Erwazi! Erwazi!"
Lin Yi held up a flashlight and searched for Chen Erwa everywhere at the top of his lungs.
He had just been suggesting that Lin Yi should take a detour and not pass through the group of mummies.
So the position he was in just now was actually behind Lin Yi.
And it's closer to the water area just now.
Lin Yi walked closer, almost placing the light on the ground, observing inch by inch until he slowly approached the water.
Suddenly, a wave of turbidity surged in front of his eyes, and a black head popped out of the water.
Lin Yi's knife had already been unsheathed, and just when the blade was about to be swung, a voice came into Lin Yi's ears.
"Mom sells batches. I'm suffocating myself to death. Compared with me in terms of water-based nature, you're more tender. You're a bitch, pew!"
It turned out to be Chen Erwa, who hadn't appeared for a long time.
Now he emerged from the water.
Lin Yi was surprised and happy to see this scene.
He brought this child to such a dangerous place, so he must take responsibility for him and take him out completely, because there is a family behind him that is riddled with holes, and he is the only one in this family. 's pillar.
"Where have you been?"
Lin Yi quickly reached out and pulled him up from the water.
Chen Erwa used her strength to get ashore, shook the water from her hair, and said unhurriedly:
"Brother Lin, I called you just now, why did you ignore me? I saw you hadn't moved for a long time, so I wanted to walk up to you and call you. Unexpectedly, two hands came out from under the water and grabbed my hand. Just pull your feet into the water.
I was so frightened at the time. I thought I encountered a water ghost and was trying to drag me to death, so I flopped hard for a long time. I found that these two hands were trying to pull me under the water.
Then what am I afraid of you doing? I started kicking with my feet and clawing with my hands, trying to get free with my hands and feet. Unexpectedly, this damn thing suddenly let go of you halfway, and let me get out at once, just in time to see you standing on the shore. "
Lin Yi knew in his heart that he was affected by the "Spirit Confusion" just like himself, but what he saw was a different scene.
Just like these children who grew up by the river, the idea they have been instilled since childhood is that there are water ghosts in the river, and they must not go to the deep water area, otherwise they will be taken away by the water ghosts who seek their lives.
This has become their childhood nightmare and a deep source of fear in their hearts.
There is nothing wrong with being used by "spiritual confusion".
Lin Yi took out a set of dry clothes from his backpack and handed it over. After Chen Erwa took it, he found a dark place, changed his clothes, and continued to share his underwater experiences with Lin Yi. .
"Brother Lin, we were walking in such a hurry just now that we didn't even see it. In fact, there are a lot of wood piled under this iron chain, both thick and thin. I guess these are the 'green sticks' you are looking for. 'ah?"
