Chapter 76 Water Ghost and Will-O-Wisp
The world in the painting.
After seeing the bride, Zhang Hao took the ghost coffin back.
With the help of Gui Hua and Gui Xing, Gui Cha was successfully taken back and used as a coffin.
Wei Jing’s departure made Gui Cha lose the ability to leave the ghost coffin.
Although Zhang Hao did not control the ghost chariot, now the ghost chariot and the ghost coffin have become supernatural objects in Zhang Hao's hands.
It can be said that this coffin is the weapon in Zhang Hao's hand.
"The operation at the headquarters has finally begun. If it delays for a few more days, I plan to control the old man first."
After waiting for a week, Zhang Hao finally passed Jiang Shangbai learned that Li Jun and others had now entered the world in the painting.
However, he did not immediately take action against Li Jun and others. Mr. Qin was the real danger he was waiting for.
At this time, Li Jun and his group of five people were walking in the world in the painting.
Through the news from Yang Jian, they successfully learned some information about ghost paintings.
According to what Yang Jian said, as long as you find a derived painting, it is possible to enter the central area of the ghost painting world through that painting.
This was the first time that Li Jun and others targeted ghost paintings, but it was not entirely without a plan.
According to the headquarters' plan, Li Jun and the others will go to the center of the ghost painting world through the connection between the derived ghost painting and the ghost painting, and find a way to imprison the ghost painting.
To this end, they also deliberately brought a supernatural item called a ghost camera.
"Xiong Wenwen, we have reached a fork in the road again. Which way do you think it is more appropriate for us to go?"
Li Jun walked in front of the team, looking at the lines derived from the ghost paintings. On the winding and rugged road, I looked back at Xiong Wenwen.
In terms of experience, Xiong Wenwen will naturally not become the spokesperson of the team.
But because Xiong Wenwen controls Li Gui, even in normal times, if he is allowed to make various choices, he can often get better results.
It's like letting Xiong Wenwen go to the casino. Even if he doesn't use supernatural powers and just choose the big or small based on his hunch, he can win a lot of money.
“Take the path on the left.”
Xiong Wenwen pointed out a path without thinking or using precognition.
Hearing this, Li Jun immediately stepped forward without asking the reason.
Under Xiong Wenwen's continuous judgment, the group walked through this winding and rugged road and arrived at a city.
The road obviously looked very far, but in fact, it didn't take them long to successfully pass it.
This is a characteristic of ghost paintings, just like the mountain roads in the paintings that look very long. In fact, the mountain roads do not occupy a large area in the paintings.
There are high-rise buildings on the side of the large and wide roads in the city, but the layout of the city is particularly chaotic. Next to some buildings, there is a low house.
This world is obviously a world painted by ghost paintings imitating reality. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so chaotic.
But Li Jun and others know very well that although the world in the painting imitates reality, it is composed of portraits.
Some places are painted with low buildings, some are painted with tall buildings, and there are even deep mountains and old forests, which is why this city looks so weird.
Li Jun and his party passed through the mansions and low-rise buildings on the edge of the city, and soon came to a special village.
"Although Yang Jian successfully approached the source painting, it seems that the places he walked into through different paintings are also different."
Liu San looked at the village with a smile on his face. A look of vigilance appeared on his face.
This stockade was built around a small lake. Next to each building in the stockade is a waterwheel for filling water.
The style of the village is not like traditional architecture, it should be the architecture of some ethnic minorities.
"Although it is still a place in China, it should be a minority village that we don't know about. Please pay attention."
Chen Yi looked at the village. Apart from the occasional noise coming from the village, The sound of grinding water and basically no other sounds could be heard, and the silence was eerie.
But if no one lives in the village, where does the sound of ink here come from?
Without maintenance, these waterwheels will soon age and lose their function due to supernatural erosion.
"I'm here to explore the way, you follow me closely."
Liu San was silent for a while, then slowly stepped forward.
This village is a bit weird. In order to avoid possible dangers, it is better to lead the way yourself.
When the others heard Liu San's words, they had no objection, and the five of them immediately walked towards the depths of the village.
Because the style of the village is quite unique and they did not understand the reason, the group of people were very vigilant when moving forward.
"Wow!"
Just when a group of people walked to the center of the village, suddenly, the sound of water lapping against the rocks came from the village.
"Crunch!"
As the water surged, some waterwheels in the village that were not rotating began to rotate.
“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!”
As if someone was scooping water, the sound of splashing water began to be heard in the village.
"No, with our arrival, some unknown changes have begun to occur in this village."
Li Jun was startled and took out a red ghost candle in his hand and lit it. .
It's not that he made a fuss, but another way to use the ghost candle.
The five people present participated in the incident of imprisoning ghost paintings. The status of each one is very important. Li Jun does not want everyone to use supernatural powers if it is not necessary.
Although the ghost candle is precious, if it is only lit briefly and then extinguished immediately, it is used for testing, and there is not much loss.
After the ghost candle was lit, the flame immediately burned at an extremely fast speed.
“There are ghosts approaching!”
Liu San looked around. After the ghost candle was lit, he could test whether there were ghosts around him.
Looking at the situation now, the ghost is obviously not far away from them, and it is very scary.
According to the burning speed of the ghost candle, I'm afraid it can only last seven or eight minutes.
That's it, without actually seeing the ghost, if the ghost really appears, Guizhu will probably be able to hold on for even less time.
"Leave this village as soon as possible." Li Jun said in a deep voice and immediately walked forward.
He didn’t want to get too entangled with the ghost before encountering the ghost painting.
Others hurriedly followed Li Jun's footsteps.
As they moved forward, at some point, the village was filled with muddy muddy water.
That was water pumped up from the lake under the constant rotation of the water wheel, and now it was covering them with mud.
"Speed up the pace."
The ghost candle in his hand burned more and more fiercely, and Li Jun couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Liu San walked to Xiong Wenwen, lifted the naughty child up and carried it behind his back.
"The child has short legs and walks too slowly. I will carry you forward."
After the water spread, the five people gradually changed from walking to running.
But even so, the turbid sewage quickly filled the entire village, leaving several people without a place to stay.
Even Ghost Candle can only provide a small area of open space for a few people that will not be filled with sewage for the time being.
"Li Yang." Li Jun shouted.
Before Li Yang could react, Li Jun turned around and walked towards a wooden house on the side.
Seeing this, Li Yang reacted and followed Li Jun's footsteps.
The ground has been filled with this weird sewage, and there is no place to stay. Now it is time for him to use his supernatural powers.
The four of them quickly walked towards the wooden house. Without the ghost candle, the turbid sewage immediately poured into the empty space before.
The problem was not over yet. After covering the open space, the sewage immediately filled the room where the five people were.
The sewage accumulated in front of the house, and soon it was level with the door baffle, and could overflow into the house at any time.
"Block the door!" Li Jun shouted.
Hearing this, Li Yang nodded, pulled the door shut, and immediately blocked the door with his body.
“Although this village is very weird, we are finally safe and safe for the time being.”
Chen Yi looked at the sewage that had not entered the house after blocking the door, and looked at it with appreciation. He glanced at Li Yang.
Unexpectedly, not long after entering Ghost Painting, I would need to use this new person.
"The ghost candle has not been extinguished, and we will not really be attacked by the ghosts, but the sewage blocks our way forward."
Liu San looked at the frightened people and said in a deep voice Open your mouth and analyze the current situation.
“According to the current situation, if we want to leave, we may need to use ghost fire.”
“Li Jun, can your ghost fire ignite the sewage?”
Li Jun frowned: "I'm not sure."
"Professor Wang once asked me to test whether the manifestations of ghosts have the same restraint relationship as our real things."
"On Professor Wang's suggestion, I tried using will-o'-the-wisps to ignite the water ghosts."
"In fact, this is feasible, but the premise is that the water ghost cannot withstand the burning of the will-o'-the-wisp."
"If the horror of the water ghost's resurrection is equal to that of the will-o'-the-wisp , or higher than the will-o'-the-wisp, the will-o'-the-wisp cannot be ignited." Liu San looked towards the door after hearing this.
Water ghosts seem to have the effect of restraining will-o'-the-wisps, but will-o'-the-wisps are not unable to ignite water ghost type ghosts.
But looking at the situation in this village, the weird sewage is definitely not less scary.
Unless Li Jun risked the ghost's resurrection, he wouldn't have been able to ignite it.
When facing ghost paintings, they still need to rely on Li Jun who can use ghosts in ghost paintings.
Naturally, Li Jun cannot be allowed to work hard at this time.
"Let me predict it." Xiong Wenwen said.
“That’s the only way.” Liu San nodded, and now he can only find a solution through prediction.
Xiong Wenwen closed his eyes, and a cold aura began to appear on his body.
A special picture appeared in Xiong Wenwen's mind.
A group of people opened the house, and the water in the house was as high as an adult's calf.
The moment the house was opened, water from outside the house quickly poured into the house.
As the sewage poured in, Li Yang, who was standing at the door, was the first to be attacked.
The water was like sulfuric acid. The moment Li Yang came into contact with the sewage, his body began to be corroded and his flesh continued to decompose.
In the end, under the erosion of the sewage, Li Yang only had one pair of hands floating on the water.
Except for Li Yang, the situation of others is not much better.
Xiong Wenwen was eroded by the sewage, leaving only a head floating on the water, and Chen Yi only had a piece of human skin left.
The paper man on Liu San's body was not melted, but the moment the paper man came into contact with the sewage, the entire paper man was soaked, and Liu San also lost his movements.
As for Li Jun, after he came into contact with the strange sewage, a green will-o'-the-wisp began to emerge from his body, seeming to be fighting against the sewage in the village.
But as a ghost controller, Li Jun, in the face of the water ghost who restrained himself, this confrontation did not last long.
Li Jun was also quickly melted, and finally a few green will-o'-the-wisps clung to the remaining human skins, heads, hands, and paper figures of several people, burning and floating on the water.
Xiong Wenwen opened his eyes and immediately told everyone these things.
"Xiong Wenwen, did the water level of the sewage continue to rise after we opened the door?" Liu San asked with a frown.
Xiong Wenwen shook his head: "I didn't pay attention to this."
"Then try again."
There was a hint of helplessness on Liu San's sallow face. A naughty kid is still a naughty kid after all, and his observation skills are too poor.
If other adults use precognition in this situation, they should pay attention to the height of the water level.
"Li Jun lit the will-o'-the-wisp. This time we light the will-o'-the-wisp and open the door to see what happens."
"Xiong Wenwen, while observing our situation, you should also pay attention to the water level."
"Okay." Xiong Wenwen responded and used the power of prediction again.
The green room was opened, and this time Xiong Wenwen noticed that the water level had risen again, by about three centimeters.
However, after opening the door this time, the sewage did not flow into the house immediately.
The candlelight of Ghost Candle is like an invisible wall, blocking the infiltration of sewage.
“Let’s go!”
Looking at the fiercely burning will-o’-the-wisp, Li Jun immediately led everyone outside.
At the same time, a layer of green will-o'-the-wisp appeared on Li Jun's body.
The crisis has arisen and it is impossible for him to retain his strength.
Although his ghosts can restrain ghost paintings, if he cannot survive before the ghost paintings, everything will be empty talk.
This time the will-o'-the-wisp rose up in time and the ghosts took everyone out of the village.
However, just when the five people were about to arrive at the entrance of the village.
"Crash!"
There was a crash, and a piece of sewage was poured on the will-o'-the-wisp by a rotating water tanker not far away.
A strange scene appeared. As the sewage came into contact with the will-o'-the-wisp, the water level in the village rose rapidly. The water level that was originally only 20 to 30 centimeters came into contact with the will-o'-the-wisp.
It seems that the burning of will-o'-wisps has caused some unknown changes.
The waterwheels that originally only existed next to the house were now floating on the water, constantly rotating close to Li Jun and others.
And when these waterwheels rotated on the water, pieces of sewage were poured from the grooves of the waterwheels onto the will-o'-the-wisp.
The will-o'-the-wisps began to slowly extinguish under the pressure of the sewage.
Soon, Li Jun's ghosts were completely suppressed and could no longer be maintained, and he himself fell into the water.
Fortunately, taking this opportunity, Li Jun successfully sent Xiong Wenwen, Li Yang, Liu San and others out of Guixi and outside the village.
But Li Jun himself fell into the water. Because there was no fuel, his will-o'-the-wisp couldn't even burn.
In the end, only a charred body floated on the water.
Xiong Wenwen opened his eyes and informed several people of these things.
"It's broken. If this is really the case, the longer it goes on, the more dangerous it will be."
Li Jun's face was a little ugly, not because he died in the prediction, but because he died according to the prediction. Xiong Wenwen's prediction is that the higher the water level is, the more dangerous the village will become.
“Get started.”
Li Jun took out two ghost candles, handed one to Xiong Wenwen and the other to Li Yang.
"You guys will pay attention to the situation later. I will use the ghost to take everyone away. You will light the ghost candle one after another to prevent us from being attacked."
As he said that, Li Jun looked at Xiong Wenwen: "That's right "Xiong Wenwen, how long did the ghost candle block the sewage?"
"Half a minute, only half a minute."
Xiong Wenwen did not forget to observe the ghost candle's situation this time. A lesson learned.
While observing the water level, he also observed the survival time of the people inside.
"It will take a minute for your ghost to take us to the entrance of the village." Xiong Wenwen reminded Li Jun.
"Is that so? That's enough." Li Jun nodded. Now there are two ghost candles here, which is enough to insist on them arriving at the entrance of the village.
“Proceed with caution, the water level is now higher and I’m afraid it won’t be able to hold back for that long.” Chen Yi reminded.
"I know, so I handed over the ghost candle to two people, just hoping that you can act according to the circumstances."
Li Jun naturally knew this. This was a crisis caused by his wrong decision, so he handed over all life-saving items to others.
Chen Yi nodded, and he took out a ghost candle.
Whether it is Chen Yi or Liu San, they all have ghost candles in their hands. This is why Li Jun did not hand over the ghost candle to them.
"Li Yang, open the door!"
A faint green will-o'-the-wisp appeared on Li Jun's body, igniting the entire room in an instant.
Liu San lit the ghost candle in his hand. The ghost candle burned much faster than Xiong Wenwen's prediction.
Because after Li Yang opened the door, the turbid and strange sewage outside had risen to half a person's height.
“Let’s go!” Li Jun shouted, and the ghost shrouded the four of them, leading them outside.
Sewage swarmed up, but was pushed away by the will-o'-the-wisp and protected by the ghost's candle. The sewage could not be contaminated by Li Jun's will-o'-the-wisp.
“Chen Yi!”
Eight seconds after leaving the water, Liu San shouted to Chen Yi.
“I understand.” Chen Yi understood what Liu San meant and immediately lit the ghost candle in his hand.
Then at twenty seconds, Li Yang also lit the ghost candle in his hand.
At thirty-one seconds, Xiong Wenwen lit the ghost candle in his hand.
At the forty-third second, the last ghost candle in the hands of the last five people burned out.
"Damn it!"
Li Jun's face was a little ugly, and he looked towards the entrance of the village.
There is an invisible supernatural force in this village that blocks his ghostly forward speed. According to the current situation, it will take at least twenty seconds to cross the village entrance.
"Let me help you attract the attention of these evil spirits, maybe I can buy you some time."
Liu San smiled bitterly when he saw this, and said helplessly.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Liu San in surprise. They didn't expect that this seemingly cautious man would actually make such a choice in the end.
"Leave it to you."
To everyone's surprise, Li Jun actually agreed to Liu San's approach.
Noticing the gazes of several people, Li Jun did not give an answer, but continued to control Gui Xie and rush outside the village.
Liu San is not someone who is willing to sacrifice.
When Liu San said this, Li Jun immediately realized that it was impossible for this guy to really die here.
