Chapter 1687: Repulsion
"How could this happen?" Ye Qiutang couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't accept this kind of death by cutting flesh with a blunt knife.
“Let’s go to the Sutra Pavilion and fight him to the death or alive!” Ye Qiutang’s eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he turned around and rushed towards the Sutra Pavilion.
“Don’t move!” Jiang Cheng stepped forward and held her down, pulling her back. “Look at the footprints behind you!”
“The things behind you are also moving. Moving closer to you means that it wasn’t my behavior that angered those ghosts, but you too!”
"Go back quickly!"
After returning to the vicinity of Merit Hall, the ghost footprints stopped as expected. Not only Ye Qiutang's, but also the footprints behind Jiang Cheng stopped moving.
But it was just that they were still. The few steps they took before had also shortened the distance between the two. Jiang Cheng estimated that when he noticed the ghost footprints, they were about 5 or 6 meters away. It looks like the ghost footprints are now at least 2 meters away.
The sense of crisis brought about by this distance is real. They cannot leave the Merit Hall until the ghost footprints are eliminated, otherwise they will be overtaken and killed by the ghost footprints soon.
The most important thing is that this time is not enough time for them to run to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
There's no point in being anxious. The important thing is to solve the problem. Fatty is extremely anxious. He can see that Jiang Cheng is in an extremely dangerous situation, but he can't help at all. He can't even understand the situation.
If he wasn't familiar with Jiang Cheng, he would even suspect that this was a play co-acted by Jiang Cheng's Ye Qiutang for him, just like the emperor's new clothes.
The situation became more and more difficult. Jiang Cheng stared at the footprints. Various complex plans appeared in his mind for a moment before being rejected by him. Fine beads of sweat gathered on his forehead. The atmosphere became increasingly tense. Anxious, Ye Qiutang had never experienced such a scene, so it was good if he could barely maintain his composure.
Slowly, a plan took shape in Jiang Cheng’s mind. Since they can affect the ghost footprints, is it possible for the ghost footprints to be killed directly? After all, Ye Qiutang also said that two people disappeared in the Merit Hall, and two more people appeared behind her, which meant that the ghosts following them were essentially monks in the temple, or maybe Taoist priests.
“Fat man, give me the knife!”
Jiang Cheng was naturally not stupid enough to chop directly with a knife. He grabbed the handle of the knife, took aim and threw the knife hard. The tip of the knife pointed directly at a height of about 1 meter above the footprints.
This short knife was left by Mr. Song’s group. Although it cannot be regarded as cutting iron and removing mud, it is definitely extraordinary. With the strength and accuracy of Shangjiang City, as long as the opponent exists in the human body Attributes, then this knife will basically make it cold.
But the next second, the knife slammed into the air above the ghost footprints, and made a crisp sound, which was the sound of metal and stone hitting each other, and then the knife bounced away.
“It’s useless…”
Although this result was expected, it still made Jiang Cheng irritated.
"We can't hurt these evil spirits at all, but what about these evil spirits themselves?" Ye Qiutang seemed to have thought of something, and became extremely excited. "We can use these evil spirits to influence them. They are behind us, and we have to control them. "Distance."
Ye Qiutang's narrative was a bit confusing, but Jiang Cheng quickly understood what she meant. She wanted to use these ghosts to influence each other, that is, to use the evil spirits behind her to balance the evil spirits behind her. .
Since these ghosts only exist in the space that he and Ye Qiutang can see, what if these ghosts collide?
Will it cause some new friction?
Just do it. Since these things are following him, there is an advantage in dealing with them. Jiang Cheng calculated the distance. He and Ye Qiutang closed their eyes one after another, then stood back to back and stepped towards both sides at the same time. Go, the advantage of this is that the ghosts following the two of them will definitely overlap at a certain distance, and this is most likely their chance to break the situation.
One step, two steps... Jiang Cheng silently estimated the distance in his heart. Just when he was about to touch the string in his heart, an inexplicable force suddenly pushed him forward.
"Huh?"
At the same time, a low voice came from Ye Qiutang, which seemed to be the same as Jiang Cheng's experience.
“Don’t move!”
After Jiang Cheng asked Ye Qiutang to stand still, he slowly retreated alone, but he found that he could not retreat. There was always a strange force affecting him. If I had to describe it, it would be similar to how magnets of the same sex repel each other.
In the end, Jiang Cheng was cruel and slammed behind him, but in the end, Ye Qiutang, who was 10 meters away, was almost knocked down.
"It still doesn't work..."
The successive failures have also made Jiang Cheng more and more irritable. There is not much time left for them. I am afraid there is still a big hurdle in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Jiang Cheng finally made up his mind and looked at Fatty, and as if he was inspired, Fatty nodded naturally, "Just tell me what you need me to do."
"Fat man, I need you to see Monk Huicong and get stuck in."
"Okay." The fat man nodded without thinking, and then walked towards the window.
"Wait, listen to what I have to say!" Jiang Cheng interrupted, "You have to go to the other side first, where we started watching, and then come back after going there."
Jiang Cheng took out his cell phone in front of Ye Qiutang and called Fatty, "Keep talking to me and don't hang up. You go first, and then Come back soon.”
Worried that the fat man would be in danger or even be replaced on the way, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to do this. He wanted to go with the fat man, but he was worried that the thing behind him would continue to approach, and Jiang Cheng probably saw it too. Understand, he and Ye Qiutang were imprisoned in a radius of about 10 meters with the window in front of them as the center.
Out of this circle, they will face the pursuit of ghost footprints.
"Don't say useless words, sing, any song will do, don't stop." Jiang Cheng asked on the phone, the fat man was about to escape his sight.
Singing can relieve tension. At the same time, if Fatty is really replaced, then Jiang Cheng doesn’t believe that ghosts will sing to him on the other end of the phone. At least the ghosts in this temple are unlikely to do this. kind of thing.
Fortunately, Fatty came back very quickly. It only took a few minutes. When he came back, Jiang Cheng had already found a position. He and Ye Qiutang had their backs facing each other, and the distance between them was just enough to feel the repulsive force. , in Jiang Cheng's understanding, he and Ye Qiutang had "squeezed" the two ghosts together closely.
According to Jiang Cheng's estimation, after Fatty also triggers the "Ponytail Girl" curse, new footprint ghosts will appear on the two ghosts squeezed together, and then there will be Two things happen.
First, the space was compressed and the three of them were squeezed apart again.
Second, an unpredictable event occurs after the three ghosts overlap, and the consequences are unknown. (End of this chapter)
