The cool breeze was blowing, and the sky was getting dark. It was half past midnight, and a group of people gathered around the ancient well shivering. It had been cold for a long time, but the three people, Xu Laodao and others, who were making a big show of it, didn't see any movement. Everyone couldn't help but look like they were ruining the place.
"Master~! Do you think that old thief doesn't dare to come?"
"Master~! I think so too. He must have run away from stage fright! Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited so long without seeing anyone!"
Beside the ancient well, Zhang and Dan each held a big rooster, and looked at the old Taoist Niubi who had been sitting on the old Taoist table with his fingers closed and muttering something in confusion.
"What's the rush~! It's best if he doesn't come, it will save us the trouble!" Xu Banxian half-opened his eyes and glanced sideways at the two of them, looking very at ease.
The three of them can keep their composure, but that doesn't mean that the others can also keep their composure!
"Old magician~! Can you do it or not...?"
"That's right, why do you care about others? When the old Bodhisattva comes, you won't have a chance to show off your skills!"
The villagers, just to watch the fun, started making noises together, and their words were full of ridicule. But after thinking about it, they couldn't help but worry, could the old Bodhisattva really... run away? ?
"Hmph~! Since you old, weak, sick and disabled people are so ignorant, I will show you my hands!" Xu Banxian let out a buzzing cold snort from his nose, and his eyes suddenly opened, dimly illuminated by the weak candlelight. It can be seen that the old face is full of anger.
"Drink~! White rice will drive away evil spirits and avoid disaster~!" Jumping down from the Taoist table covered with yellow cloth, Xu Banxian rolled up his sleeves and slowly waved the demon-slaying sword, and then suddenly picked up the white rice placed on the Taoist table with a sword, Shaking his head and mumbling.
"Here,... bring the sacrifice!" Xu Banxian deliberately delayed the word "take" for a long time, and took the two big roosters that Zhang Dan and Zhang Dan handed over with some reluctance!
After handing it out, they both shivered and said to themselves: "It's really cold here."
"Crack~!" There was a sound, blood spurted out, and the two roosters' necks were cut. They couldn't even croak, and then they flew back to the west with trembling wings!
Immediately afterwards, the ruthless Xu Banxian drank, and several yellow talismans were attached to the two dead roosters suspended in the air.
"Hiss~!" As everyone took a breath of cold air, the yellow talismans burst into flames, and the shrill screams of ghosts sounded in the fire. At the same time, the fire quickly burned the two roosters to ashes, except for The chicken skull with the weird green light is still outside, but the rest are gone!
"Ah~! Great Immortal, please forgive me! The little devil will never dare to come out to cause trouble again..."
Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the half-charred chicken skull made a ghostly scream in the fire, and two green beams of light shone through the firelight, looming to stimulate everyone's fragile nerves!
"Hmph~! You have done so many evil things, how could I let you go so easily! Go to hell...!"
"Ah~...! Ah~~!"
The arrogant Xu Banxian suddenly increased the intensity of the fire, and the skull let out an even more mournful wail. The people on the side felt their hearts trembling wildly, and swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty with their eyes wide open.
When the black smoke and the firelight dissipated together, everyone came back to their senses and realized that their backs were already soaked, and when the cold wind blew, it was even more chilly!
Pretend to be a ghost~!
An extraordinary young man leaned against an old tree next to the ancient well. After quietly watching the whole process of "exorcising ghosts", he snorted in his heart.
The little trick Xu Banxian played was enough to deceive these villagers, but how could he deceive an expert like Feng Ling!
"Everyone~! Pindao has found out the reason. There was a wild ghost in this well, which caused people who drank the water to suffer from strange diseases. Now Pindao has killed this ghost in front of everyone!"
Xu Banxian glanced at the frightened faces with an arrogant expression, secretly feeling complacent in his heart.
"Suddenly~!" A gust of wind blew by, white mist appeared all around, and the cold seemed to get stronger!
It is now close to Haishi, which should be a quiet time for people, but today everyone gathered here for some reason.
"Great Immortal~! Someone just accidentally fell into the well..."
Just when everyone was silent, a strange-looking woman emerged from the crowd.
"What!?" Everyone was horrified and hurried to the edge of the well to look down. Xu Banxian also squeezed past in surprise.
I saw that the surface of the well that could originally be described as "an ancient well without waves" was filled with rolling waves, as if something was stirring below. Everyone stared intently with different expressions.
"Bang~!" Suddenly a column of water rose into the sky, frightening everyone who was looking at the wellhead to fall down. Even Xu Banxian took a few steps back before regaining his balance!
"Where is the monster!? Why don't you show up quickly...!"
Xu Banxian straightened his crooked Taoist hat with his left hand, and hurriedly pointed his demon-slaying sword at the water column three meters high that spewed out of the ground with his right hand.
As if they understood, the water column suddenly exploded, scaring everyone again and causing them to stumble. Then, a pale figure fell from the sky to the already soaked ground.
The smell of blood is filling the air!
"Ah~, it's Liu Ergou...! Dead, dead...!?"
Some brave villagers got closer and saw clearly the face of the tragic corpse with wide blood-red eyes. It was the villager in the village who came to watch the show and had just fallen!
"Hiss~!" Everyone's hearts trembled wildly again, and they hurriedly kept their distance from the ancient well that still heard the sound of violent tumbling water. Stay far away!
There is something fishy about this messenger woman! ?
Feng Ling stared intently at the woman who appeared out of thin air among the crowd.
This matter has gotten out of control, and one person has died. If I don't take action, I'm afraid something will happen again in this well!
"Huh?" Just when Feng Ling was about to take action, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure who started to show off his words and confuse right and wrong next to the corpse. Feng Ling had an idea and curled his lips.
"Xu Banxian~! Since you are so sure that this person has been possessed by a ghost before, then do you dare to go down to the well to find out the cause of the blowout, so that we can be convinced!"
Upon hearing this, Niubi Lao Dao, who was dancing around the corpse and fooling everyone into working hard, suddenly froze and turned to look at the handsome young man who spoke, a hint of vague anger flashing deep in his eyes.
"Ahem~! Why did you say this, little brother? The ghost in this well has been subdued by Pindao. The abnormalities that are happening now are just the residual resentment of the ghost before his death! Without a stick of incense, the ghost's energy It will dissipate on its own!”
Everyone suddenly realized it. After thinking about it carefully, many villagers couldn't help but nod in approval of this seemingly reasonable explanation.
"The Great Immortal doesn't dare!?"
Feng Ling and the woman were startled at the same time. They turned their heads and looked at each other in unison. They actually said the same thing.
"The poor Taoist is not afraid of any evil things, so why not?" As he said that, Xu Banxian took out a stack of yellow talismans, which were both ropes and compasses.
Under the worried gazes of Zhang and Dan and the "expected" eyes of everyone, Niubi Lao Dao bravely descended from the air-conditioned well mouth and slowly descended.
Feng Ling joked in his heart: "You old bastard has changed the word "I am a great immortal" to "a poor Taoist", and you still say you are not afraid? Don't worry, I will come to rescue you later! It's just that you are wearing a rope like this. , I’m afraid I’ll… trap myself in a cocoon!”
No one knows how deep this well is! Even the ancestors of the villagers living here in Gujing Village... don't know!
No one noticed that after Xu Banxian lost sight of his Taoist hat, two figures in the group disappeared at the same time...
