Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 169 Green Ghost
Dong-dong-dong——

In the stone forest, a strange drum sound rang out softly.

Ran Qing tapped very lightly, and the drumming was also very soft.

But this slight drum sound now had a strange penetrating power, and seemed to spread throughout the entire stone forest.

At the beginning, Ran Qing knocked cautiously and a little clumsily.

He controlled the rhythm of one stop, one short, and two long ones very poorly.

After all, it was the first time to use the Six Ghosts Summoning Yin Technique.

But gradually, Ran Qing became proficient in knocking.

The blood-red candlelight flickered in the stone forest, and the already dark stone forest seemed to become even darker.

Maybe it was getting dark outside, or maybe the sun had even set.

Ran Qing must reunite with his companions before it gets completely dark.

Because the tiankeng would be even more dangerous after dark...

Dongdong——Dong——

The dull sound of drums spread softly in the stone forest.

Ran Qing stood quietly beside the blood-red candlelight, listening attentively to the movements in the distance.

He could vaguely sense the presence of the six ghosts.

If he could find someone, he would notice it immediately.

But at this moment, Ran Qing suddenly saw a staggering figure appear in the stone forest not far away from the corner of his eye.

His eyes fixed and he looked suddenly in that direction.

In the dark stone forest, Long Zongshu's third brother walked towards here with a pale face and stiff body.

His eyes became dull and his body seemed to be taller.

A strange evil spirit floated over through the air.

Ran Qing's keen senses as a Yin-walking person gave him a frantic warning. He seemed to have smelled the blood of a wild beast in the mountains. It was pungent, foul, and vicious...

This feeling is completely different from the cold and terrifying feeling of seeing a ghost.

He stared intently at the figure walking stiffly out of the stone forest, and saw that the dark-skinned young man was standing on tiptoe, walking completely on his toes.

The posture is extremely twisted and weird.

Ran Qing's heart sank, but there was no abnormality on his face.

He seemed to notice nothing and waved to the figure approaching in the stone forest.

"Third brother! Here!" Ran Qing looked surprised and waved at the figure.

The figure floated towards him on tiptoe, and it could hardly be said that it was walking.

The dark-skinned young man stood on tiptoe on the ground, his body like a stiff puppet, pushed towards Ran Qing by an invisible force.

When Ran Qing saw this scene, his face changed.

He originally wanted to pretend that he didn't notice and trick the other party into approaching the Yin Altar - people who walk in the Yin Altar are more powerful than usual within the range of the Yin Altar.

But I didn't expect that the thing didn't even act and just rushed up to fight.

Ran Qing suddenly took a step back, squatted down, took out a piece of white paper with a picture of an evil ghost mask from his canvas bag, placed it on the blood-red candle flame and lit it.

After being ignited by the blood-red candle flame, the white paper also ignited a red flame.

A ferocious ghost face emerged from the blood-red flames that rapidly engulfed Origami.

Ran Qing grabbed the fireball and threw the ghost face in the fireball directly towards the figure in front.

The fireball exploded as it hit the dark-skinned young man's stiff body. An angry and shrill howl filled the air, and a number of ferocious ghost faces flew out of the fireball and hit Long Zongshu's cousin.

The firelight suddenly illuminated the body of Long Zongshu's cousin.

There was a strange figure with green hair all over its body and what looked like it was wearing a green sweater sticking to his back.

After being illuminated by the fireball, the green-haired ghost screamed and fled backwards suddenly.

But the ghost faces that flew out of the fireball pounced on it and bit it, and actually bit off a part of its paw alive.

The green-haired ghost fled into the shadows and quickly disappeared behind the stone pillar.

The shadows of the ghost masks also quickly dissipated into the air. Ran Qing was a little shocked when he saw this scene.

"So strong..."

"Witchcraft, Ghosts and Magic" says that the ghost people will be very powerful and terrifying within the range of the ghost altar.

Even if it is a simple Yin altar.

This was the first time that Ran Qing opened the Yin Altar to fight against evil spirits. The Yin power in his body had not changed, but the evil magic he used was more than one level stronger.

This temporary Yintan can't last long...

Looking back at the candle with a blood-red flame, Ran Qing saw that the candle was already one-third burned.

When the Yin Altar is opened to fight evil spirits, the candles burn much faster than usual.

After the green-haired ghost disappeared, Long Zongshu's cousin fell limply to the ground and fell asleep.

There was a piece of white porcelain fragment stuck on the black rubber-soled cloth shoes he was wearing. The porcelain fragment was very small and had penetrated into the black cloth and may have also penetrated into the flesh of his toes.

It was a very minor injury. He had apparently kicked a statue of a Bodhisattva and damaged it, which was why he was possessed by that strange, green-haired figure.

"...What is that? It looks like a zombie."

Ran Qing frowned in confusion.

After dispelling the ghost, Long Zongshu's cousin was safe.

But that kind of shadow covered with green hair is not recorded in "Records of Strange Things".

The only thing that looks similar is the zombie that has been buried in the coffin in the ancient tomb for many years.

Many bodies are buried at the intersection of feng shui. Over the years, natural disasters such as river diversion, earthquakes and mountain collapses can cause the originally excellent feng shui sites to suddenly become evil places.

This kind of change in the Feng Shui cave may not necessarily affect future generations, but the owner of the tomb in the coffin will definitely become abnormal.

One of the strange phenomena is when a corpse grows strange green hair and becomes a zombie.

"Records of Strange Things" says that this green-haired zombie has amazing jumping ability, is invulnerable to swords and guns, and may even develop some strange abilities that are difficult to guard against.

But the green-haired zombies are physical entities, and the green-haired ghosts just now were clearly evil spirits, evil ghosts, or something like that...

Ran Qing observed his surroundings vigilantly, slowly beat the small drum, and gently walked to Long Zongshu's cousin.

"Third brother? Third brother?"

He beat the drum with one hand and gently shook the dark-skinned young man with the other.

But the dark-skinned young man had a pale face and his eyes were closed, and he could not be awakened at all.

Being possessed by that kind of evil spirit was like losing half of his life for an ordinary person like him.

If you don’t get rid of the evil spirits in your body, you will get a serious illness when you return.

But I don't have time to exorcise the evil spirit for him now...

Ran Qing checked the condition of the dark-skinned young man.

At this time, footsteps sounded.

A shadow floated out from the stone forest, followed by a sickly big dog.

"Ran Qing!" The moment she saw Ran Qing, Xiao Mianhua was extremely excited: "Where did you all go? You disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

Xiaomianhua was excited and happy to reunite with Ran Qing.

A few minutes later, Long Zongshu also appeared in front of Ran Qing in surprise and confusion.

He looked at his cousin lying unconscious on the ground, screamed and rushed over.

"Third Brother!"

Long Zongshu checked his cousin's condition in panic.

Little Mianhua looked at Ran Qing and asked, "Where's Mo Li? Why hasn't Mo Li come yet?"

The Six Ghosts Summoning Yin Technique can bypass many restrictions. People may be trapped by ghosts, but the ghosts of the Six Ghosts Summoning Yin Technique will not.

Logically speaking, the stone forest is this big, Ran Qing should have found Mo Li.

At this moment, Mo Li's surprised cry suddenly came from the stone forest in the distance.

"Ran Qing! Come here quickly!"
