Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 48 Borrowing the Road
At this moment, Ran Qing, who was wearing a demon mask in the forest, looked more ferocious and brutal than the ghost that crawled out of the grave!

He rushed forward madly in the grave mound, knocking down all the ghosts that dared to block his way.

Every ghost that was knocked down was viciously bitten by him, with the upper half of the face being completely destroyed from the bridge of the nose up!

The vivid evil ghost mask was laughing and chewing, and the crisp crunching sound was harsh and terrifying.

Ran Qing felt like he was about to vomit.

He clearly didn't eat anything, but he could clearly feel the frantic swallowing and chewing.

Even the smell is distinct!

It seemed like he was the one chewing and swallowing frantically at this moment!
But he couldn't stop. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his nausea, letting the power of the evil master surge in his body, madly biting the ghosts that blocked his way.

The blood-red eyes beneath the mask kept darting around restlessly.

He was wary of Li Hongye.

That weird Li Hongye is more terrifying than these evil spirits.

She is the scariest!

Li Hongye did not let Ran Qing wait too long. In the chaos, it appeared silently in the forest ahead, as if it had been standing there from the beginning.

His hands hung down at his sides, and his pale skin had a creepy grayish luster.

She looked at Ran Qing coldly, motionless.

But Ran Qing, who was biting madly in the group of evil spirits, was suddenly shocked and felt hit by a huge force again. He felt like he was hit by a speeding fully loaded truck. He flew out with a scream, and half-chewed meat and eyeballs sprayed out of his mouth.

This time, Ran Qing in mid-air was in so much pain that he almost fainted.

He felt such intense pain that all his bones seemed to be broken, and his vision went black.

Unspeakable anger and frustration surged in his mind.

What is the principle behind this?

Why did he get knocked away just by being looked at?

Ran Qing fell heavily into the grave mound, feeling desperate about Li Hongye's unreasonable and terrifying power, and unable to find any means to counter it.

In his field of vision, shadowy ghosts roared and rushed towards him, drowning him in an instant.

There were so many ghosts coming at this moment that they couldn't even stop the screaming red rope figurines and the madly biting dead faces.

Ran Qing, who was blocked by the red rope man, screamed in pain. He felt that his arms, shoulders, calves... his whole body were covered with teeth biting him!

He was like an antelope surrounded by a pack of hyenas, and would soon be eaten up.

Intense fear and despair gripped him, and Sixth Aunt's instructions emerged in his mind.

“…We can delay it as long as we can!”

"I couldn't hold it any longer, so I just vomited out the contents of my mouth!"

Ran Qing's eyes were bloodshot and he murmured.

"Staying alive... is the most important thing, right?"

He closed his eyes in despair and opened his mouth, ready to spit out the bones in his mouth.

He only delayed for such a short time, would it be possible for Aunt Liu to finish burning the fire?

Ran Qing felt a little powerless.

But he couldn't delay any longer, if he delayed any further he would really die!
Ran Qing's eyes turned bloodshot and he was about to spit out the bone in his mouth.

But at this moment, a sharp and terrifying suona sound suddenly rang out in the distant mountains and forests.

Extremely abrupt.

"?!"

The moment he heard the eerie suona sound, Ran Qing's whole body trembled, and a cold chill suddenly rose and spread to his limbs in an instant.

The ghosts that pounced on him and bit him like crazy hyenas retreated like a tide in an instant, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.

The sound of suona was followed by the noisy and booming sound of golden cymbals.

The sound of the golden cymbals striking with huge vibrations echoed in the darkness, seeming to cause the blood in Ran Qing's body to tremble.

He looked in horror at the direction of the chaotic music, feeling that these piercing sounds were familiar. He had heard this sound in a nightmare the night he stayed at Aunt Six's house!

Ran Qing looked at Li Hongye in horror, but found that Li Hongye in the woods was also looking coldly in the direction where the noisy music came from.

Li Hongye did not move, but the ghosts driven by Li Hongye all crawled back into the grave in fear and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.

This scene shocked Ran Qing - weren't these voices coming from Li Hongye?

In the darkness, the sound of the golden cymbals continued.

A creepy, grand and strange sound of reed pipe playing then rang out.

In the darkness, chaotic and disordered music rose and fell without any rhythm. The echoing noise made people dizzy and their brains seemed to explode.

A cold wind blew by, and a pale mist slowly drifted over.

Ran Qing, who was sitting stiffly on the ground, finally saw the figures of those things.

A pale and strange team emerged from the dark forest in the distance.

They crawled slowly through the vast white mist, each of them a slender, strange figure that was not at all human-like in shape.

The stiff head was twisted and distorted, the long arms were dragging on the ground, and the almost motionless legs were like a puppet controlled by a cheap puppeteer, sliding through the fog in an extremely strange posture.

The instruments were held in their long hands, and as they walked stiffly, they dragged on the ground, making noisy and harsh sounds.

The sounds of suona, cymbals, and reed pipes… those chaotic, shrill notes sounded like a rural wedding or a funeral. The joy mixed with a touch of eeriness made Ran Qing's hair stand on end.

The noisy and shrill screams behind his mask fell silent at this moment.

An unprecedented sense of panic emerged in Ran Qing's heart.

——He saw extremely terrifying things in the Wujiang ghost world!

This inexplicable intuition made him tremble with fear and almost stopped breathing.

Li Hongye stood coldly on the mountain path, motionless, staring at the white fog.

The strange procession drifted slowly in the distance, seemingly noticing the movement here. Stiff, blurry heads twisted slowly but synchronously in the white mist, looking in this direction simultaneously.

Ran Qing's heart skipped a beat and he froze in an instant.

The little red rope figures under him all turned back into bones tied with ropes.

The bitten dead face turned into a pool of incense ash.

In the pale and eerie team, blurry faces stared at Li Hongye.

Li Hongye's dark and strange eyes were also staring at them intently, with a cold light flashing in his dark eyes.

The silent standoff continued.

In the end, those strange figures went away with the noisy music and did not come near here.

As the harsh and eerie music disappeared, the forest became quiet again.

Li Hongye then turned around and looked at Ran Qing coldly.

Ghostly figures slowly crawled out from the cracked graves in the darkness.

As the pale team left, the ghosts in the grave mound appeared again.

They once again surrounded Ran Qing on the ground, trying to rush over and eat him.

But at this moment, Ran Qing was no longer afraid.

He took a deep breath and slowly took off the Nuo opera mask on his face.

Looking at Li Hongye in the dark forest and the ghostly shadows crawling around, Ran Qing's pale face covered in sweat had a complicated look in his eyes.

"...Goodbye, Li Hongye."

Ran Qing closed his eyes and spat out the bone in his mouth.

Aunt Liu's voice rang in my ears.

"Kid! It's done!"
