Chapter 144 Are they all controlled?
The old woman returned to the team, and now her face became a little ugly.
Under the influence of the unknown, being unable to draw the Fourteenth Master Bai out to support the situation is equivalent to having no support.
If we just rely on incense and borrowing methods, the situation will not be very optimistic no matter how we look at it.
After all, in the eyes of the old woman, there were only five people present, including two apprentices, so they obviously couldn't count on them.
She turned to look at Lu Bai: "Xiao Lu, what do you think?"
"Yes, since the Fourteenth Master said from the beginning that you would lead this trip."
Shi Xiangtou subconsciously wiped the goosebumps that appeared on his arms: "You have to come up with an idea."
"Anyway, they don't want to let us go, so let's just take a stroll in the village first."
Lu Bai's mentality was quite stable, and he even spoke with a smile.
His calm performance actually calmed the two Xiangtou present.
"Let's go and see how the villagers are doing now."
As he spoke, he walked towards Xiao Li's house at the end of the village.
The old woman and Shi Xiangtou looked at each other, raised no objections, and followed Lu Bai one after another.
Even if the remaining two combatants had other ideas, facing this situation, they could only bite the bullet and follow.
In any case, it is safer to stay with the Xiangtou people than to wander around alone.
Go through the wooden fence surrounding the house and come to the door.
The door is ajar and can be pushed open with gentle force.
As soon as he pushed the door open, a biting cold wind blew in his face, making him extremely uncomfortable.
There were no lights in the house and it was pitch dark.
Instead, people can notice the God of Wealth Building at the root of the wall, because there is a faint will-o'-the-wisp floating inside that building.
"Did he escape or..."
The old woman approached cautiously and did not feel the presence of Baojiaxian from the God of Wealth Building.
Lu Bai walked to the God of Wealth Tower and squatted down: "There were no signs before the incident, so he probably didn't escape."
The so-called four gates, at best, are immortals, but at worst, they are actually a group of animals that have become spirits.
Xie Sui and Xian Family are essentially the same, the difference is nothing more than lawful or chaotic.
Since he doesn't follow the rules, Lu Bai won't be surprised if he does anything.
"Lu Xiangtou, come out quickly and take a look."
Shi Xiangtou stood at the door with a look of horror on his face.
"?"
Lu Bai stood up and walked to the door, looking along Shi Xiangtou's line of sight.
It turned out that a large figure suddenly appeared on the gravel road in the village.
At a rough count, there were about three to four hundred people.
So many people were crowded on the not-so-wide gravel road, and the crowds looked quite spectacular.
And some of them looked familiar to Lu Bai. They were all villagers of Liujia Village, but some of them were missing for some reason.
The villagers no longer had the enthusiasm they had before. All of them were expressionless and walked staggering towards where Lu Bai and the others were.
The villagers' eyes were empty, unable to find any human emotion.
Seeing this scene, even the old woman who prided herself on being well-informed felt a sense of panic.
The group of villagers gradually came closer. Against the backdrop of the night, it seemed like something was hiding in the crowd and secretly observing them.
Lu Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "Go out first, don't stay in the house."
Normally speaking, although there are many villagers, if they really want to be ruthless, just Shi Xiangtou and the old woman are enough to deal with them.
The problem is, these villagers are acting so strangely and are obviously under the control of evil spirits. It is still a bit unbearable to attack these innocent villagers. Finding the evil spirit behind this chaos and getting rid of it is the best solution.
Arriving outside the wooden fence, Lu Bai shook his head and motioned for Shi Xiangtou and the others to follow him around to the back of the crowd.
He jogged, circling around the edge of the village, occasionally slowing down, holding his handprints and throwing down a few grains of glutinous rice.
Lu Bai asked casually: "What other methods can you use now?"
"Except for the need to light incense, everything else is fine."
Shi Xiangtou answered without hesitation.
When he realized that he couldn't summon Master Bai Si, he immediately verified the skill at hand.
It can only be said that the restrictions in this area are not as strict as imagined. It will only make the incense go out. The fairy family's magic power can still be borrowed.
"Yes, we still have the strength to resist."
No matter what the old lady's true thoughts were, at least what she said was quite morale-boosting.
Lu Bai nodded and turned his attention back to the crowd.
Their actions did not cause the villagers to have any overreaction. They just followed their figures and slowly turned their heads.
The large group of villagers were like puppets on strings, and their steps were extremely slow. If that were the case, it would not pose much of a threat to them.
The evil spirits among the villagers seemed to realize this and quickly took corresponding measures.
A strange scream suddenly sounded from the crowd.
The strange scream was like fingernails scraping against a blackboard, which was extremely uncomfortable to hear.
But as this strange scream appeared in the crowd, the cold wind suddenly became several times more violent, causing the fence outside the dilapidated tile-roofed house to creak.
There seemed to be some inexplicable things in the shadows in the village.
The darkness and coldness around Lu Bai and others became deeper and deeper into the bone marrow, and all the joints in the body seemed to have been iced. Generally stiff.
"...This can't go on like this."
It became a little difficult for the old woman to even speak: "We can't hide anymore, we have to find a way to counterattack."
Lu Bai stopped and tidied his clothes calmly.
He said with a smile: "It's time to counterattack."
"Have you thought of a solution?" Shi Xiangtou's eyes lit up.
"Why do you think this evil spirit suddenly intensified his offensive?"
Before Lu Bai could wait for Shi Xiangtou to give an answer, he took the initiative to explain: "This proves that it is in a hurry."
"What's the meaning?"
"Among the four gates of Hu, Huang, Bailiu, the only one who can control such a person at once is the Hu gate."
As Lu Bai spoke, he made a handprint and then put it to Shi Xiangtou's mouth: "Come on."
Shi Xiangtou recognized what kind of handprint it was and immediately realized Lu Bai's plan.
He took a long breath: "Oh~oh~oh~"
He imitated the sound of a rooster crowing, and Lu Bai controlled it to increase the volume.
At the same time, similar sounds were heard from several other directions in the village.
I couldn't find a rooster on hand, so I had to try this method.
Is it useful?
Yes!
And the effect is extremely obvious.
As the saying goes, when a rooster sings, the world will be white.
Fake chickens are also chickens.
It was obvious that the villagers gathered on the gravel road broke out of their puppet state after hearing the noise coming from all directions.
Although he didn't wake up immediately, his expression was dazed and he didn't move according to the evil spirit's instructions.
