Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 209 The Girl in the Mist
shhhhh--

Sharp and thin red rope figures flew out like a rainstorm and stabbed the thing on Ran Qing's back at the same time.

Those long, strange, dark hairs almost covered Ran Qing's entire face. But at this moment, those hairs shrank and fled like a frightened octopus.

The red rope figures stabbed densely into the air, but only brought a shrill scream.

The next second, most of the red rope figures lost their target and fell powerlessly at Ran Qing's feet.

Ran Qing finally looked up and looked around with a frown.

The fog seemed to have thinned a little.

The surprised voices of Mo Li and Long Zongshu were heard from the fog not far away.

"Ran Qing?"

"The ghost is with you?"

The two were extremely surprised.

Ran Qing, who was shaking the bell, took the time to rub his nose and said, "Zong Shu, stop burning the rice fields."

He looked coldly at the thick fog in front of him and said, "The female ghost is not hiding in the rice fields, but in this fog!"

No wonder there was no reaction when the rice fields were sprayed with open flames. There was water not only in the rice fields, but also in the water mist in the air!
Mo Li understood what Ran Qing meant and was shocked: "Are you saying that this water ghost is hiding in the fog?"

Many water ghosts can hide in water, but that water is liquid!

It can even hide in the water mist in the air... What kind of water ghost is this?
Ran Qing stared at the thick fog in front of him and felt it was incredible: "This water ghost can hide in the fog. Maybe she has been watching us from the beginning!"

The entire Longchang Street was filled with a light mist.

Before, Ran Qing thought it was the special terrain of this place, but now it seems that these water mists are clearly part of the female ghost's body!

So when he used the horoscope card to guide the direction during the day, the horoscope card did not work in Longchang Street, as if there were female ghosts everywhere.

It’s not that the horoscope card has malfunctioned, but that the body of this female ghost is indeed everywhere in Longchang Street.

A female ghost hiding in the fog...

Ran Qing's expression suddenly changed: "This is a trap!"

If the female ghost had been monitoring them and knew their purpose, then why would she take the initiative to wait here... This doesn't make sense.

Since the female ghost was hiding in the fog, her real body could not be in this well.

The so-called claim that the well is haunted is even more untenable!
Ran Qing suddenly stood up and shouted to Zong Shu: "Zong Shu! Use your fire to burn this fog!"

As Ran Qing finished speaking, flames rose again in the fog.

Balls of flames were spewed out by the Longzong Tree, and the thick fog in the air fled and collapsed as if frightened. The fog covering the rice fields became visibly thinner.

Ran Qing finally saw Mo Li, Long Zongshu and Xiao Mianhua who were not far away.

Perhaps after the visibility increased, Ran Qing's face did not show any joy, but rather solemn and gloomy.

In his vision, he saw pale and eerie ghostly figures standing in the rice fields around him.

Those ghostly figures seemed to have been there for a long time, standing either in the rice paddies or on the ridges. There were men and women, old and young, almost completely surrounding Ran Qing and the other two.

When Little Mianhua saw these ghosts, she screamed in fear: "Ran Qing! Ghosts! They are the ghosts on Longchang Street!"

Those standing silently in the rice fields and on the ridges were all ghosts living among the living people on Longchang Street.

But they, which looked no different from living people during the day, now turned pale and eerie.

They stood silently in the dark fog, all looking at Ran Qing and the other two with the same sinister eyes.

Among them, Ran Qing saw the ghost of the young Sanyong. The young Sanyong who led them was also among them...

Seeing this scene, Long Zongshu screamed: "This ghost led us here!"

No wonder the journey was safe and smooth. It turned out that they were not here to catch ghosts, but the ghosts led them here!
All the ghosts on Longchang Street are influenced by this female ghost in the fog, or perhaps even controlled by her.

Ran Qing calmly looked at the ghosts around him and said slowly, "It seems we have misunderstood Longchang Street..."

Longchang Street, which looks eerie and scary, with the living and the dead living together, is actually a refuge for the living.

So when this female ghost wanted to harm Ran Qing and the other two, she had to lead them out of the street and to the well in the mountains far away from the street.

But Ran Qing's eyes scanned the fog, but he only saw Xiao Sanyong. He didn't find Xiao Sanyong's grandmother, the old woman who could distinguish the dead from the living...

While Ran Qing was still thinking, Mo Li, Long Zongshu and Xiaomianhua had already rushed to his side.

The three of them stood together again, nervously facing the encirclement.

In the fog, the ghostly shadows and the dead silence brought a great sense of oppression.

They could come at any moment...

Mo Li asked in a low voice: "Can you handle it? This number is a bit too much..."

Ran Qing's Yin power will be greatly increased while he is within the Yin Altar.

But the number of these ghosts is indeed too many.

All the ghosts in Longchang Street came.

Ran Qing and the others saw the young couple setting up a stall selling mutton head noodles during the day, the elderly who couldn't afford a green sweater and wore old patched clothes, and the children playing marbles in the mud puddles on the roadside during the day...

Long Zongshu looked around nervously and said, "They should be afraid of us, right? Otherwise, they would have rushed over and torn us alive long ago."

This group of ghosts stood around, but just stood there quietly, which was obviously a signal.

But Ran Qing looked around and saw the fog rolling in the rice fields, but he was not as optimistic as Zong Shu.

He slowly surveyed the surrounding ghosts and said, "They may not be afraid of us. It could be that the influence exerted by the female ghost in the fog is not strong enough to make them completely obey..."

All these ghosts on Longchang Street are in strange conditions.

There are also red doors on the street.

Ran Qing didn't believe that these were all caused by female ghosts.

If this female ghost was really that vicious, she could tear them apart with her bare hands.

Little Mianhua was as timid as ever. She trembled as she looked at the ghosts around her and said, "Ran Qing, what should we do? You're not going to ask the ancestors for help, are you?"

Little Cotton was worried and frightened.

Ran Qing shook his head and said, "It hasn't reached that point yet."

He hadn't even donned his Nuo opera mask, nor had he offered his blood and essence to the Yin altar. The ghostly figures in the fog did make him uneasy, but not to the point where he needed to risk his life.

He looked around calmly and said, "Let's find a way to retreat back to Longchang Street. If I'm not mistaken, the ghost girl's true form isn't in this well, but on Longchang Street!"

"It's impossible for everything to be hidden in the fog, just like a person who has traveled to the underworld needs to leave a signpost in the human world, otherwise he will lose his way."

Although this kind of evil magic that transforms into fog is rare, it does exist. There are similar records in "Witchcraft, Ghosts and Magic".

Ran Qing sneered: "Once we find its true form, it will be over!"
