The wild ghost and Aguan faced off for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it any longer. They roared twice and jumped up to the ceiling. They turned over and dived straight down towards Aguan, opening their mouths to bite him.
Aguan sidestepped, letting the wild ghost jump into the air, and slashed with his sword, splitting half of the wild ghost's head off.
The wild ghost died before it even had time to scream.
Aguan Zheng felt strange why Fu Ling Budai didn't come out immediately. He lowered his head and looked at his chest, only to see that the Fu Ling bag was bulging. The fossil inside was even bigger, filling the entire bag.
Aguan smiled knowingly, thinking that the ghost hands were sensible, and they were probably afraid that the fossil would be squeezed out of the bag by a sudden collision, and the matter would be ruined if it broke.
Aguan took out the fossil. At this time, the fossil was as big as two fists, and it was still shining with light from time to time. Aguan took a closer look at the fossilized stone, and saw that the little embryo inside was moving slightly, and there were bursts of warmth.
When I went out, it was still raining, but it should be the time agreed with Yueshuang and Wubu.
Aguan picked up a few plastic bags, put the fossil in the bag, and used several more plastic bags to carefully seal the mouth of the bag, for fear that the fossil would get wet in the rain. Then, regardless of the rain, we rode on the stone fire wheel and headed towards the river embankment.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. We rode on horseback and reached the river embankment. After waiting for a full hour under a small courtyard that could provide shelter from the rain, we saw a man and woman walking by the embankment. It was Wu Bu and Moon frost.
"We made an appointment at five o'clock, mortal time. You seem to have come early?" Yueshuang said quietly, with a faint light blue aura glowing around her body. As soon as the falling raindrops came into contact with the aura, they dispersed, like It was as if it was absorbed by the phosgene, and it didn't wet her at all.
Although it was early spring, the weather was still slightly cold, and Aguan was still shivering even though his whole body was soaked.
Yueshuang reached out and waved his hand, and the blue light enveloped Aguan's body. Aguan felt a chill all over his body, and all his soaked clothes and pants were dry.
"I didn't know the time in the hut, so I had to come early. Just now...I met a ghost, only one. I don't know what he wanted to do..." Aguan exhaled and said while holding the bag containing the fossil stone tightly. , for fear that the human stone would freeze.
"It's as we expected." Wubu nodded and said, "Xiao Suixing, you haven't been back to the north for a long time, but you don't know the changes in the north. We can't sense evil thoughts, but we can also observe the changes in people's hearts. You have to be careful. , some wild ghosts that originally roamed in the mountains seem to have become much bolder under the influence of evil thoughts, and may swarm into mortal towns. You have spiritual energy in your body, which makes you more vulnerable to attacks by wild ghosts. You must cast spells from time to time to strengthen the hidden spirits. The effectiveness of the spell can hide the spiritual energy in one's body."
Aguan remembered that Pianpian had said before that the aura on his body might attract wild ghosts to attack.
"Hmm..." Aguan said a little embarrassedly: "I...I don't know the Hidden Spirit Spell..."
Wubu and Yueshuang looked at each other and smiled.
Yueshuang waved her hand and recited a spell: "I'll teach you. You write down the spell and go back and practice it again and again."
Aguan nodded repeatedly and memorized the spells taught by Yueshuang. After spending about ten minutes, he gradually mastered the trick.
"Can you teach me the healing spell again?" Aguan scratched his head, thinking that the Hidden Spirit spell should not be a problem.
Yueshuang also taught Aguan the healing spell, but the effect of the healing spell was not as significant as the Hidden Spirit Curse, and its effectiveness would vary depending on the behavior of the caster.
Aguan practiced a few more times before memorizing the mantra.
Yueshuang then warned: "You can rest assured, we know your hiding place, and several Chenxing generals will also monitor the movements of the main camp. If they find that the army is approaching, or there are divine generals searching near your hiding place, We will inform you at any time. However, I'm afraid you have to deal with the sporadic evil spirits and monsters on your own, and we can't guard you day and night. First of all, the situation is unclear, and eggs cannot be put in the same basket to avoid things going wrong. , be caught in one fell swoop; secondly, if you are still unable to stand on your own, you are just a mortal after all, and guarding you will not help much, it will only drag us down."
"I know." Aguan was obedient and kept Yueshuang's words in mind.
"Remember, if you change places to hide, you must contact us." Yueshuang gave some more instructions, then left with Wu Bu, and suddenly disappeared.
Aguan looked at the sky blankly, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Yueshuang for some money, and how he could live without any money. Suddenly he snorted again, as if he was angry at his own useless idea. In such a situation, everyone is trying their best to fulfill their duties, but he has to beg for money to survive. That is too useless.
He stepped on the stone fire wheel, rode out of the small pavilion, and rode towards the dilapidated iron house. Only then did he remember that he should have learned the spell from Yueshuang just now to prevent him from getting wet in the rain. At this moment, Yueshuang's body, which he had let Yueshuang use to dry himself, suddenly became completely soaked again.
Riding back to the dilapidated iron house, Aguan was deeply afraid of encountering wild ghosts again, so he sensed carefully, and there seemed to be nothing strange around him. He searched around the tin house and found that several broken houses were empty. According to the signs inside, no one should have lived in them for a long time.
Aguan stepped into a dilapidated house that seemed to be the cleanest, but quickly backed out. The dilapidated house was filled with a disgusting stench. It turns out that these shabby houses are very close to the garbage dump near the market. They all stink so much that even homeless people are not willing to live there.
Aguan had no choice but to hide back in the original iron house and close the door. This tin house is far away from the garbage dump and has small windows for ventilation, which makes it less smelly.
After taking off his clothes and trousers, Aguan wrung them completely dry and put them on again. He squatted quietly aside, playing with the candle of time, trying to control the candle like Pianpian.
Late at night, the rain gradually stopped. Aguan lay on the table and watched the flame of the Time Candle and the dim light of the fossil.
Aguan slept and woke up all night, sometimes standing up to stretch and move, and then lying down in a daze. It finally made it to morning, when the rain gradually became lighter, but it was still dripping.
Aguan's stomach was growling. He hadn't eaten all day yesterday and was so hungry that he fainted.
Seeing that the sky was still dark outside, Aguan carefully wrapped the fossil and rode the stone fire wheel out again.
Soon he arrived near the entrance of his alley. Aguan carefully sensed his surroundings to make sure there was nothing weird or evil. Then he approached his home, entered the building and climbed up until he reached the door of his house on the third floor.
Aguan did not have the key to the iron door at home, but there were usually holes in the railings on the iron doors of old-style apartments. Aguan took out the Fuling cloth bag, stuffed the mouth of the bag through the gap in the railing, and gave a few instructions, and the bride's ghostly hand was in the iron door. A stick stretched out between the door and the wooden door, opening the door for Aguan.
Aguan stepped into his home that he had not seen for a long time and looked around, feeling very nostalgic in his heart.
Aguan did not dare to waste time. If the main business gods searched, his house would be an obvious target, but he had no money and his clothes were smelly and torn, so he had to come back.
He spent fifteen minutes taking a good shower and found a large travel backpack in the room that he had bought for his graduation trip. Aguan picked out a few sets of clothes, some personal belongings, and also found the piggy bank on the desk.
After shaking the piggyback, it was very light. When I smashed it, I saw a few hundred-yuan bills and some change inside. Aguan carefully collected the money and went to his mother's room to rummage and found some money. Spend it carefully so that you can at least last for a while without starving to death.
After sorting out the necessities, Aguan picked a few books from the small bookshelf in the room and put them into his backpack together.
It was almost daylight and the rain outside had stopped.
When he went downstairs, Aguan caught a glimpse of the shabby cart that had been parked downstairs for a long time. It was the cart where he and his mother used to sell stinky tofu when they went out at night. The gas bucket on the trolley was still there, and the pots were in good order, but there were some more garbage bottles and cans in them.
Aguan looked at it blankly for a few times, thinking that if this kind of life continued, he might have to sell stinky tofu from his own cart. But when you think about selling stinky tofu, just sell stinky tofu. I have been selling stinky tofu with my mother for a long time, and I have already learned it. I know where to buy ingredients, how to fry tofu, etc. But the time-consuming work of pickling kimchi, etc. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.
Aguan rode a stone fire wheel to find a breakfast shop, had a hearty breakfast, and wandered aimlessly in the alleys. On the one hand, he is bored, and on the other hand, he is looking for more places to hide, so that he can find a place to stay at any time when his whereabouts are exposed.
