There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Chapter 42 West Trident 02
"Ah, there are, there are monsters."

There was a commotion coming from the bodyguards not far away, and the originally stable formation gradually fell into disarray.

Although the guards at the back could still hold their temper for the time being, their eyebrows became more and more frowning and their expressions were panicked and uneasy.

Hiss--

A strong wind blew all around, and there were strange movements in the lush weeds. One after another, the ghostly black shadows swooped in and out of the grass, jumping up and down, appearing and disappearing.But I can’t see clearly what evil thing it is!
The harsh and sharp rustling sound penetrated into the ears, seeming to pierce the eardrums unstoppably, and even caused goosebumps to appear on everyone present.Everyone gathered towards the central carriage, trying to defend it tightly.

"Hurry up like a law, destroy!"

Shen Huihe jumped forward and quickly waved out the talisman to kill two or three fat black figures that were about to reach his feet.The three or four escorts at the front saw clearly what kind of monster it was, their faces were frightened, and they immediately ran away as if they had encountered a ghost.

They were three huge black rats, disemboweled and bloody!

Each black rat is as thick as half a strong man's arm, three or four times the size of an ordinary gopher.The back of the black rat has a bunch of white, thorny rough hair, and the smelly red spots of pus overflow under its small upturned eyelids. It is definitely not an ordinary black rat in the wild wasteland.

Countless rustling black shadows came over the sky like dark clouds over a city. Suddenly, in the vast flat land, dark clouds came over and heavy rain was coming.The dense black shadows at the corners of the eyes are scarlet, as if they have been hungry and crying for food for several days. Tonight, everyone present must be chewed up, cut dry and wiped clean before they can give up.

It was the first time for many escorts to see such a dense and terrifying scene with black rats like rain, and they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, running away in all directions to the west.Some people fell to the ground in a panic, some were accidentally knocked to the ground, and some were exhausted after killing several black rats.
The black rats got into their clothes unscrupulously, climbed up their necks with bared teeth, and confidently wrapped themselves around their iron-bone bodies, gnawing greedily and gnawing at them obsessively.
The cries and sobs resounded throughout the sky, and they were so tragic that they kept coming one after another.

Shen Huihe suddenly froze on the spot as if he was possessed by a demon. His shining eyes suddenly dimmed, and in the blink of an eye they were covered with a layer of bleakness. The corners of his eyes were scarlet, even mixed with unspeakable fear and anxiety.

"B-big brother——"

"Elder brother! I, I -"

"Big Brother!"

Shen Qing was sitting cross-legged on the stem of the Bagua Diagram, constantly changing formations and moves in her hands, but her brows were furrowed.Although he could clearly hear the anxious shouts of the four junior sisters in front of him, he had just entered the formation and would not be able to escape for a while. He was really unable to do anything.

The fourth junior sister has not been afraid of anything since she entered the monastery. If there is anything in this world that can frighten her, there are only a handful of things, and tonight, by coincidence, it happens to be one of them!
Shen Huihe gasped for breath and staggered back several steps with the turbulent flow of people. He was accidentally knocked to the ground by several fleeing bodyguards.

The nimble, smart, and eerie black shadows were getting closer and closer. Two or three black rats had already jumped to her feet, and then swished behind her. They were really arrogant and wanton, doing whatever they wanted!

Her hands trembled slightly as she tried to change the formation, and the few talismans she waved at random fell to the ground in vain, and even failed to catch fire.

In the blink of an eye, five or six more huge black rats jumped towards me, laughing and jumping——

"S-Senior Brother! Ah——"

Huh? !

It's not the strange squeaking sound that's close at hand like a nightmare, it's not the biting coldness coming from the rough and cold fur, nor the crazy bite of the rodents, but it's falling into a warm embrace, and... There is a familiar scent of sandalwood on the sleeves!How could it be him!
The man raised his hands to hold her shoulders and slender waist, and in a flash, he protected her body and rolled around on the haystack behind her, just in time to avoid the attack of the swarms of black rats.

When he turned around to protect her, he had already held the spear in both hands. With the light of the sword and the shadows of the sword, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and he killed more than a dozen giant black rats that were swarming towards the two of them.

A group of guards surrounded the two of them, with solemn eyes and swords drawn to protect each other. From time to time, one or two crazy black rats without eyes jumped at their feet, and they were all hacked to death by the guards.Compared with the bodyguards who were running around like headless flies just now, it was obvious at a glance that this group of guards were well-trained and experienced practitioners.

Shen Huihe was startled and wanted to ask: "Li, Mr. Li——"

Captain Hu quickly came to Li Yun and asked worriedly: "Is the Crown Prince injured?"

She shook her head and suddenly raised her eyes to stare at him. There was both shock and panic in her dim eyes.The sleeves that were originally tightened seemed to be torn apart by her forcefully.

"My lord, it's okay." Li Yun waved his sleeves, trying to pull the young lady beside him to stand up together, "Mrs. Shen——"

"You, you are—"

"If Mrs. Shen doesn't want to be entangled and tortured by these weird black rats anymore, it's better to get up first." The pair of dark eyes that met her were still calm, as if they were saying an extremely ordinary thing.

Li Yun moved his palm down and suddenly held half of her thin arm.Through the thin silk sleeves, you can feel the coldness of her skin.While she was in a daze, he steadily led her to her feet.

"Ms. Shen is a very talented woman. It would be a pity if she was scared out of her wits and lost face by these pretentious and bluffing things."

"Li Yun, you——"

Shen Huihe stared at him blankly, his fingers still tightly tugging at the cool corner of the wide sleeves of Shu brocade with dark patterns on the animal group.She shook her head, trying to detect some ups and downs of emotions in his deep pupils, but unfortunately found nothing.

The captain of the guard behind him was even more frightened when he saw this scene.The usually stoic prince did not resent the Taoist nun tugging on his robe today, and he was not even annoyed at all when she called him by his first name.

"Ms. Shen, is she in a daze?"

"Ahe, Ahe——"

Before they finished speaking, a white-faced man slowly floated down in front of the two of them.

The little white-faced man scratched his little head, tilted his head as if looking at the two people in front of him, and then opened his slightly raised white mouth like a human being, and when he spoke, it was Shen Qing's calm voice.

"Ahe, Qingxin Jue! Fire Attack Technique!"

The little white-faced man in front of him twisted his butt, and turned into a wisp of misty white smoke that spread out in all directions.A shallow flowing glass barrier was built three feet away from Shen Huihe, which could slightly block the fierce attacks and invasions of those crazy rats.
