Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 144 Zong Shu
In the fog, Ran Qing's expression changed slightly.

The noisy music coming from the fog behind him was harsh, eerie, strange and terrifying, carrying some kind of ancient and sinister evil spirit, which was creepy.

This strange Mr. Shou can actually lure out the ancient evil spirits from the depths of the Wujiang ghost world?

How does it do that?
Ran Qing's brain was working rapidly, but his hands did not stop.

He took out the incense ash from his canvas bag, sprinkled it in a circle on the ground, and then quickly inserted incense sticks and candles.

A makeshift and crude altar was set up.

Shou Taiye is the natural enemy of ghost walkers. They covet the "Book of Yin Shou" and have all kinds of strange and difficult powers.

If Mr. Shou rushed over directly, Ran Qing might really be in trouble tonight.

But these old monsters who have lived for decades or even hundreds of years, the longer they live, the more afraid of death they become.

They are all good at hiding in the dark and playing tricks.

Now he has trapped Ran Qing in fog, and used unknown evil methods to lure in the ancient evil spirit from the depths of the Wujiang ghost world, wanting to kill him with a borrowed knife.

Seeing Master Shou disappear, Ran Qing quickly built an altar, ignoring the strange noises coming from the fog.

Ran Qing took out two shriveled longans, crushed the shells skillfully and threw them out.

The spinning longan turned in the mist, but soon disappeared into the mist.

Like being swallowed by fog.

Ran Qing saw it, but was not discouraged.

He took out two shriveled longans again, crushed them and threw them out.

On the simple altar, burning incense sticks kept drifting into the depths of the fog, trying to find the direction of the world of the living for Ran Qing.

But a cold wind blew, and the smoke rising from the burning incense stick was quickly blown away by the cold wind.

In the fog on all sides, Mr. Shou’s gloomy and strange laughter echoed.

“…I can’t find it!”

"Ran Qing, give me two pages of the Yin Shou Shu, and I will let you live."

Mr. Shou's voice was endless, and seemed to split into dozens of different figures in the fog. The different voices of men, women, young and old came out together, strangely and harshly.

They tried to threaten Ran Qing into submission.

Ran Qing once again threw out two longans to ask for directions, but completely ignored the monster's temptation.

Once I take out the Yin Shou Shu and get seen by this monster, it won't just be a matter of one or two pages...

Ran Qing watched the two longans being swallowed by the fog, took a deep breath again, and threw out two more longans.

This time, the fog surged, trying to swallow the dragon eye again.

But the moment Longyan disappeared in the mist, Ran Qing's eyes fixed.

He directly took out a handful of red rope figurines from his canvas bag and threw them in the direction where Longyan disappeared.

The little people tied with red ropes, with their bodies stretched straight, were like sharp needles, piercing straight into the fog.

A howl of pain came from within.

Ran Qing finally confirmed it.

"...This fog is the ghost haze you caught, right?"

The Qianghe area is mountainous and foggy, with thick fog often covering the sky and obscuring the mountains and fields.

It is said that there is a man-eating ghost in the mountains, hiding in the fog, luring and devouring living people.

This kind of evil spirit is mentioned in "Records of Strange Things".

When Ran Qing was a child, he also heard horror stories about people who got lost in the fog and when they were found, half of their bodies had been eaten by the ghost haze and they were screaming in pain in the mountains, covered in blood.

This evil spirit not only confuses people's perception, but when bitten by it, people will not even feel any pain and will watch their bodies being eaten bit by bit.

Even if half of its body is eaten, the rest of its body can still struggle and run.

When Ran Qing saw the dragons asking for directions being swallowed one after another, he realized that something was wrong with the fog.

After those longans were thrown out, they did not lose their way, but disappeared out of thin air and were eaten by something.

But there was nothing in the fog. Ran Qing immediately thought of this mountain monster that was very similar to fog and often hid in the fog to eat people.

He scattered incense ash, and the gnawing faces of the dead rushed around.

These hideous and ferocious dead faces roared and bit the fog in the air frantically.

There was clearly nothing in the fog, but they seemed to have bitten something.

Ran Qing saw that the fog around him seemed to be shaking.

Mr. Shou in the fog sneered repeatedly.

"What a clever kid!"

"It's a shame it's useless! Before your ghosts in the jars have finished eating the ghost haze, the ancient evil spirit from the depths of the Wujiang ghost world will rush over to kill you."

"You, the Zunyin people, have offended them. Those ancient evil ghosts of the ancient Luo Kingdom will kill Zunyin people on sight!"

Mr. Shou's voice became a little farther away.

It seemed to have hidden away from me.

And the eerie and terrifying music behind Ran Qing was indeed getting closer and closer.

The pale ghosts that once forced Aunt Liu to death were about to arrive in front of Ran Qing.

But the fog around him still blocked Ran Qing's way.

Ran Qing was a little impatient and reached into the canvas bag again.

But at this moment, a blazing flame suddenly rose from the fog.

Flames sprayed into the fog, and this huge mass of ghost haze seemed to have encountered its nemesis and began to tremble in pain.

This sudden abnormality made Ran Qing look in the direction where the flames came from in astonishment.

He saw a figure standing in the fog, but the fog was so thick that he couldn't see the figure's appearance clearly.

But there was a flame burning on each of the figure's shoulders and head.

As the figure moved forward, hot red flames spewed out of his mouth.

The huge ghost haze was shaking in pain and even let out a shrill howl.

Ran Qing was extremely surprised, and felt that the figure appearing in the fog looked familiar.

In the thick fog, Mr. Shou seemed to recognize the person and cursed angrily.

"You bastard, mind your own business!"

Mr. Shou's voice drifted away as he cursed, as if he was running away.

Seeing that Guimai was restrained, this old monster who had lived for who knows how many years and harmed countless people actually ran away.

Ran Qingze saw flames continuously gushing out, quickly burning the ghost haze in the fog, forcing it to flee in panic and finally escape completely.

In the fog that had thinned a lot, a boy with an uneasy expression appeared in front of him, looking at him with concern.

"Ran Qing, are you okay?"

The two looked at each other, and Ran Qing was stunned for a moment: "Zong Shu?!"

The man in front of him with three fires on his shoulders turned out to be his classmate Long Zongshu!

The lonely boy who always sat alone in the corner of the classroom, silently reading various martial arts novels and fantasy novels, and rarely talked to others.

Ran Qing was a little confused: "Are you also a heretic cultivator?"

He suddenly remembered that when Li Hongye was first harassing him, Long Zongshu had suddenly asked him on the playground - Do you need help?

At that time, he never imagined that this boy was actually a crooked person.

Could it be that what Long Zongshu asked him at that time had another meaning?
In the heavy fog, Long Zongshu was also stunned.

He looked at Ran Qing in surprise and said, "Ah? Ran Qing, you don't know?"

Long Zongshu was confused: "Didn't I talk to you when I first entered high school?"
