"ah?"
Bai Erlang was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Nan Er next to him pull out the knife.
Snapped!
Xia Zhichan didn't even give the other party a chance to react. He took three steps and two steps at a time, flicked his sleeves and robe, and slapped Bai Erlang on the forehead with his palm.
The latter was knocked directly to the ground.
"Open your mouth!"
He pinched Bai Erlang's chin with his left hand, and the latter passively opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
The two fingers of his right hand explored and caught something instantly.
"Woooooooo..."
Bai Erlang's eyes were full of panic. His hands were swinging hard, and his body was struggling. His feet were fluttering on the ground and raising dust.
Nan Er drew his sword out of its sheath. Instead of helping Bai Erlang, he changed his angle to make it easier to draw the sword. From his current direction, he could chop off the opponent's head at the shortest distance.
"Woooooooo..."
Bai Erlang regretted it to death. He never thought that he would be so unlucky. He originally thought he had met a chivalrous man who was willing to help him, but he didn't expect that he was still a robber who committed murder and swindled goods.
This Nan Er must have deliberately deceived himself, letting him enter the trap of his opponent's companion, and controlled himself almost effortlessly.
What do they want? Not only did he want to kill himself for money, but he also opened his mouth forcefully. Could it be that he wanted to inject poison into himself. As for poison... Bai Erlang recalled what Nan Er had said before about the tragic situation after drinking poison, and he tried desperately to struggle.
But I don't know what kind of technique Xia Zhichan used. She pinched Bai Erlang's chin with her left hand, as if pinching his vitality. No matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail.
"Woooooooo..."
Tears of regret flowed from the corners of Bai Erlang's eyes. How could he believe Nan Er's lies and be so stupid as to pull a sheep into a tiger's mouth.
vomit--
Suddenly, a feeling of nausea rose up in his throat, and Bai Erlang's stomach suddenly bulged, and then he felt something turbulent in his intestines and stomach. Fortunately, Bai Erlang hadn't eaten for a while, otherwise he would have vomited all over himself.
"come out!"
Xia Zhichan stretched out two fingers from Bai Erlang's mouth. There was a slender black tail between his fingertips, with sticky saliva on it, exuding a stench.
Bang!
He obviously pulled out a piece of the thing, but suddenly the black tail broke from the middle, and the remaining half retracted into Bai Erlang's belly with a bang.
"Haha, I cut off my tail to save my life."
Snap - the severed half of the tail instantly withered on Xia Zhichan's fingers. It shriveled up from its slippery state, like a dry and withered branch.
"vomit--"
Bai Erlang made a sound of retching, and at the same time, his eyes couldn't help but shed tears. This was not because of regret, but because he was too uncomfortable.
This discomfort is not felt in the mind, but in the body.
The feeling just now was as if something crawled out of my stomach and was stuck in my throat, making it difficult to breathe and making me retching uncontrollably.
"Can't you catch him?"
Nan Er wasn't worried about Xia Zhichan's abilities, he was just worried that the ghost would shamelessly hide in Bai Erlang's belly and not come out, so even if you had the abilities, you wouldn't be able to use them.
"Mr. Bai, right? I'm sorry."
Xia Zhichan didn't answer Nan Er's question. He moved his left hand from Bai Erlang's chin to his shoulder, allowing the latter to move his neck, unlike before.
"Spare...spare...life."
Bai Erlang felt that the hand pressing on his shoulder was like an unshakable mountain. He had no strength after being tortured like this. He sat on the ground unable to resist, trying hard to suppress the vomiting feeling in his stomach.
"one."
Xia Zhichan clenched her fists and punched Bai Erlang in the stomach. The latter rolled his eyes and fainted, with foam appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Be careful, don't beat him to death."
Nan Er shook his head. Even looking at the situation in front of him, he felt uncomfortable for Bai Erlang, but since Xia Zhichan did this, there must be a reason for him.
"Don't worry, I have it right."
If Xia Zhichan didn't care about Bai Erlang's life or death, he could have used more powerful tricks to get rid of the ghost in the opponent's stomach in one go. The reason why he tortured Bai Erlang like this was to get rid of the ghost while saving his life. .
"two!"
Bang!
He punched again. Bai Erlang had already fainted, but he was woken up by this sudden blow. The tears at the corners of his eyes and the foam at the corners of his mouth couldn't stop.
"vomit--"
Bai Erlang didn't eat. There was only sour water in his stomach, which was mixed with foam and vomited on his front. Xia Zhichan, who was nearest to him, smelled a strong sour smell.
Nan Er on the side also frowned.
"It looks like I have to use a heavy hand. It might hurt a little."
Bai Erlang probably couldn't hear what Xia Zhichan said, and even if he heard it, his already down brain wouldn't be able to process it.
Turning the fingertips of his right hand, he made a lotus-shaped Dao Jue.
"three!"
Bang!
Bai Erlang's eyes bulged obviously, and then his throat moved, his mouth suddenly bulged, and then with the sound of violent vomiting, a black thing flew out.
"kill!"
Nan Er's knife was not a decoration. When the thing flew out, the long knife in his hand flashed, and almost struck the thing in a flash of lightning.
The long knife fell, and the swift sword energy cut a slender mark on the ground, and the black thing was chopped into two pieces from the middle.
Only then did Nan Er have a chance to see clearly what that black thing was.
It was a black ball of flesh with inconspicuously deformed limbs, and a slender tail with half broken off behind it. It looked like a toad.
"vomit--"
Before Bai Erlang could finish, he bent over and spat out a lot of foul-smelling black water from his mouth, forming a puddle on the ground in front of him.
"It's okay, it's just a hanged ghost."
Xia Zhichan patted Bai Erlang on the back, then motioned Nan Er to get the water bag on the horse, and gave Bai Erlang a few sips of water to recover.
Nan Er took the water bag, walked to Bai Erlang, and handed the open water bag to his mouth. The latter drank several sips quickly, and then couldn't help spitting it out.
There was still black water in his mouth.
"Just drink a few more sips of water and you'll be fine."
Xia Zhichan walked to the hanged ghost who had been chopped into two pieces by Nan Er, and watched the black thing shrink in the sun and turned into an ugly toad that had been dried in the sun.
He stretched out his left hand and shook his sleeve.
A furry black cat head emerged from the left sleeve, but she did not get out. She just glanced at the disgusting corpse of a toad on the ground and let out a disgusted meow:
"Meow~"
"You, your mouth is getting more and more mouthy."
In the past, Black Cat was still very interested in these ghosts and monsters, but because she was fed too many ghost bone biscuits by Xia Zhichan, ordinary ghosts and ghosts had lost their attraction to her.
The black cat shook its little head and got back into the sleeve robe.
"vomit--"
Bai Erlang vomited several more times, but all he vomited out was water, and his pale face also recovered a lot.
"That...what is that thing?"
He watched helplessly as the black thing came out of his mouth. Although it was killed by Nan Er, it was still weird and different from all the animals he had seen.
"Just a hanged ghost."
Xia Zhichan performed another Dao Jue and lightly tapped Bai Erlang's forehead. The remaining Qi on her fingertips instantly entered the latter's body and spread throughout his body at a very fast speed.
"Uh, ghost...how can there be ghosts in this world?"
Bai Erlang suddenly felt much better, as if he had drank a good medicine, and his limp limbs had regained their strength.
He took a few breaths and felt that his depressed mind had relaxed a lot, as if even the air he breathed was fresh.
"You can't say anything and your strange power can confuse the gods."
Bai Erlang read a lot of books, and he had also heard stories about fairies transforming themselves into beautiful women and seducing scholars who were studying. But it was just a story. He didn't think there were ghosts in the world.
"Okay, it's just a little bit better and then the book bag starts to fall off."
Nan Er lifted Bai Erlang who was sitting on the ground and asked him to stand up straight.
"Anyway, thank you both for saving me."
Bai Erlang raised his hands to Xia Zhichan and the other two.
"Then let's get ready to go into the city, and you can clean up too."
Xia Zhichan glanced at Bai Erlang. Although he had regained his energy, the stains on his body and the acid water vomited from his chest made him look really embarrassed.
"What...what should I do?"
Bai Erlang looked at his current appearance. His current appearance was no better than a beggar, but he was now in the wilderness of the mountains and had no change of clothes.
"Then change into one of my old clothes."
Nan Er glanced at Xia Zhichan, who walked up to the horse almost as if it had nothing to do with him and stroked the horse's mane.
He calculated in his mind that Xia Zhichan probably didn't have a few changes of clothes. He was often seen wearing that strange black and white mysterious robe, and he didn't change clothes no matter whether it was winter or summer.
He took out a piece of clothing from the bag and handed it to Bai Erlang. Most of Nan Erlang's clothes were tight-fitting with sleeves, so he could move widely for his convenience.
Bai Erlang took off his completely dirty coat, put on Nan Er's black clothes, then rolled up the original coat and held it in his hand.
"Okay, let's go."
"Hey - wait a minute. Both of you are riding big horses. I only have two legs. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you."
Bai Erlang waved his hand quickly. He looked at the two strong horses beside Xia Zhichan. He estimated that his thin legs would be broken and he would not be able to catch up.
"Then you will ride on the same horse as me?"
Nan Er still glanced at Xia Zhichan who was playing with the horse. The other person didn't seem to care about what Bai Erlang said at all, so he could only say helplessly.
"No, no, it's not appropriate for you and I to ride on the same horse..."
The main reason is that the saddle is for single riding, so if two people sit on it, they will inevitably be crowded together. The scene would have been better if it had been between a man and a woman, but two men would be boring and would be gossiped about by others.
"Ride my horse and see you in Mulberry Town ahead."
Xia Zhichan handed over the reins of his horse, and Bai Erlang wanted to postpone it for a while, but the man in front of him who knew strange magic was not negotiating with him at all, and forcefully pushed the reins into Bai Erlang's hands.
"This dear friend, I..."
Before Bai Erlang finished his sentence, he saw Xia Zhichan pick up a handful of soil from the ground, then shake her hand, and the whole person disappeared.
"Young hero, he, he, he..."
He was frightened by the situation before him and stuttered.
Nan Er smiled indifferently, pointed at the distance with his whip, and said:
"He has probably arrived in Mulberry Town by now."
