Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 100 Water Ghost

A chilly wind blew in his face, and he saw six ghosts floating towards him. At this moment, Ran Qing felt a little anxious.

——How unlucky was he to be chosen?

It’s not arranged yet!
Not all the red rope people are in place!
Ran Qing was a little anxious. When he saw the six ghosts floating towards him, his brain was working rapidly.

Throw the red rope figures down one by one quietly without attracting any attention.

But once a whole bunch of red string figurines are thrown out at the same time...

These six minions are just dead, not blind or deaf.

Ran Qing's face looked a little ugly, and he was hesitating whether to fight directly.

But at this moment, a fierce and violent dog barking suddenly sounded outside the courtyard wall.

The shrill barking sounded like the roar of a man-eating dog, suddenly ringing out in the dark and silent ghost market, extremely harsh.

The six ghosts in the yard were stunned at the same time and subconsciously looked in the direction where the barking sound came from.

When Ran Qing heard the dog barking, he was startled, and then felt a little happy.

It's little cotton!

The moment the wild dog barking sounded, he almost instinctively threw away all the red rope figurines in his hand.

The little people tied with red ropes stretched their bodies in the night wind and fell continuously into the incense ashes on the ground, and the sound of breaking wind was heard in the yard.

But the sound was too soft and was completely drowned out by the barking of ferocious dogs outside the yard.

The six ghosts turned around and saw that the pale lantern hanging at the gate of the courtyard suddenly floated out and chased towards the dog barking sound that was getting farther and farther away.

Finally, the barking of the dog completely disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

The pale lanterns also disappeared.

Ran Qing was a little worried when he saw this scene - could Little Cotton withstand being chased by the white lantern?

But six minions had already floated to his side and held him down at the same time.

Ran Qing was dragged to the well uncontrollably by the ghosts, and was forced to kneel by the well like the yellow-haired ghost.

slam-la-

Suddenly, the sound of cold water was heard from the dark well.

Ran Qing, kneeling beside the well, vaguely saw some kind of cold water light rising from the dark bottom of the well.

He kept scanning the surrounding yard from the corner of his eyes.

In the shadows of the ruined courtyard, he could vaguely sense the little men on red ropes running along the incense ashes.

But Ran Qing's head had been held down by the minions and forced towards the wellhead.

In the well, a pale and resentful face emerged silently.

It floated in the darkness at the bottom of the well, staring straight at Ran Qing, and began to slowly rise along the wall of the well like a snake.

The pale human face continued to enlarge in Ran Qing's field of vision.

Ran Qing felt the cold air approaching and was almost unable to breathe.

His face turned ashen.

The little people tied with red ropes were still running among the incense ashes at the edge of the yard.

The sound of splashing water was getting closer and closer.

Finally, the pale face floated close to Ran Qing.

It stared straight at Ran Qing, its eyes completely black, eerie and creepy.

There was no blood on her pale face, and dark blue blood vessels bulged around her eye sockets.

The man and the ghost were almost close to each other.

Ran Qing was stunned for a moment.

This water ghost's eyeballs... are also black?
These familiar dark eyes inexplicably reminded him of Li Hongye.

As a cold wind blew in his face, the water ghost that floated closer opened its mouth towards Ran Qing, ready to eat.

Its jaw continued to stretch, and its mouth, with blood flowing out, became larger and larger, until it finally stretched into a terrifying angle, like a python about to eat.

Ran Qing's facial skin felt a strong suction.

His head seemed to have begun to stretch and deform under this cold and biting suction.

——I can’t wait any longer!
If you delay any longer, you will die!
The shadow of death gripped Ran Qing's heart, and he could no longer hold back.

His right hand, which was placed in the canvas bag, suddenly grasped the wooden hammer made of dead bones.

He was held down tightly by the minions, keeping his head down and kneeling.

But the right hand that emerged from the canvas bag viciously grasped the wooden hammer and smashed it towards the wellhead.
With a dull crisp sound, the wooden hammer made of dead bones hit the water ghost's face.

The water ghost was caught off guard and staggered, seemingly stunned.

Ran Qing took out a Nuo opera mask with his left hand and pressed the mask on his face almost at the moment the wooden hammer was smashed.

The movements are skillful, accurate and fast!
A huge blood-red eyeball opened on Ran Qing's face.

The six ghosts who were pressing down on Ran Qing were shaken away by the huge force.

From the bottom of the dark well came the spiteful and shrill howls of a female ghost.

"...walking ghost!"

It actually recognized Ran Qing's identity.

Ran Qing, who was wearing a Nuo opera mask, retreated frantically and had already retreated to the center of the yard.

The six minions stared at him with hatred and surrounded him from all sides.

In the dark well, a resentful face appeared and disappeared from time to time, as if spying on Ran Qing.

But it didn't come out directly.

Even though Ran Qing hit him in the face, the water ghost hid at the bottom of the well and refused to come out.

Ran Qing was surprised—what a cautious water ghost!
Being so cautious and timid, is he really a demon?

Normally, evil spirits are brutal and cruel, and have little idea of ​​what fear is.

It's normal that Aunt Liu, who is so scary, can scare away evil spirits.

But Ran Qingcai only has the strength of a stick of incense, can he scare away the water ghost?

Ran Qing felt a little absurd.

No wonder Aunt Liu’s comment on the water ghost was that it should be “lured” out.

There is definitely something wrong with this water ghost!
In the yard, the minions surrounded Ran Qing.

The water ghost in the well just stared at Ran Qing with resentment at the well mouth and had no intention of coming out at all.

Seeing this scene, Ran Qing did not hesitate at all.

He just turned around and ran.

But he did not run away. Instead, he rushed to the door of the dilapidated tile house and grabbed the old woman who was sitting on the ground crying with blood on her face.

"Let's go! Old man, I'll help you escape!"

Ran Qing said something he had no intention of doing, dragging the crying old woman as if he really wanted to take her away.

The rush of time makes it difficult to implement the original plan to lure the water ghost out of the well, and now we can only improvise!

The old woman shuddered when she heard Ran Qing's words. She had been tortured to the point of being dazed and stunned, but now it seemed as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

She quickly grabbed Ran Qing's hand and jumped up.

"Let's go! I know a way to escape!"

The old woman screamed excitedly.

The water ghost in the well, upon seeing this scene, finally let out a shrill and resentful howl.

Amid the sound of splashing cold water, she actually leaped out of the well and pounced towards Ran Qingfei.

The pale and resentful face was full of hatred and anger.

At this moment, Ran Qing once again met the water ghost's eyes.

Seeing the water ghost that was really lured out and was so resentful and angry, Ran Qing suddenly had an intuition - this water ghost still retained its personality before it died!
but……

Jingle Bell--

The corpse-driving bell rang in the yard.

The moment the water ghost jumped out of the well, Ran Qing rang the bell without any hesitation.

This is a split-second opportunity!
Four stiff ghostly figures suddenly jumped out from the shadows outside the yard and landed directly on the low loess wall.

Thin, straight red ropes flew out from the shadows surrounding the yard, hitting the water ghost in mid-air with a swish. Indistinctly, the thin red ropes formed a large, blood-red web.

In the circle of incense ashes, the biting dead faces bit the little people in their mouths tightly and dragged the little people back by the red ropes.

The red ropes that trapped the water ghost were instantly stretched straight.

The four paper figures standing on the courtyard wall simultaneously threw out four blood-stained red ropes, accurately put them around the water ghost's neck, and pulled hard.

This resentful water ghost was actually suspended in mid-air, like an insect caught in a spider web, struggling desperately but unable to break free.
