Chapter 164 Suspense of Evil Wind
The sudden screams startled the three of them. Even Yang Yiyi, who was scaring others just now, also shivered, not to mention Zheng Yinping, her legs felt weak. .
The calmest one was Li Yingluo, who looked the softest. She stood up excitedly and said: "There is a ghost! Let's go and see!"
"Wait, wait for me!"
I don’t know why this lady was so interested in ghosts, so she dragged Zheng Yinping away, and Yang Yiyi quickly followed.
The three of them quickly walked out of the wing and walked through a not-so-long corridor into the main hall.
The bodyguards staying in the main hall felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They drew their weapons one after another. When they heard the voices of Yang Yiyi and the other three, they immediately looked over with vigilant eyes.
Li Yingluo quickly asked:
"What happened?"
She sounded not only unafraid, but even a little excited, but no one answered her.
Counting the escort leader Wang Zhen, there were six of them in total. One of them, a young man under twenty, was half-kneeling on the ground, covered in water and shivering.
"There's a ghost! I saw it! There's a ghost!"
When the escort leader Wang Zhen saw this, he shouted to him: "Come back!"
This bodyguard has great internal strength, his voice is loud and his breath is as long as a golden bell.
After he drank it, the young man's eyes finally regained focus, and he seemed to wake up a little.
"Er Zi, what did you see? Please tell me clearly."
"Wang Biaotou, when I just went to relieve myself, I saw a will-o'-the-wisp in the yard!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
"Please tell me in detail, where exactly, and what kind of will-o'-wisp."
"It's blue. It's not afraid of rain. It's burning. It must be the dead people in the Taoist temple who are asking for their lives!"
"It's true that many people have died in this Taoist temple, but let me tell you, Erzi, it's not uncommon to see will-o'-the-wisps in places where there are dead people. There is a thing called phosphorus, which is found on dead people. That thing ignites without fire. When it burns, it becomes a will-o'-the-wisp. "
This escort king is a veteran of the world. He has traveled all over the country, and even a mere will-o'-the-wisp can't really scare him. He also had far more knowledge than other escorts. As soon as he heard the will-o'-the-wisp, he knew that Er Zi was just trying to scare him.
The other escorts around him also relaxed after hearing this, but at this time Erzi swallowed his saliva and said: "Then, isn't it unusual for the will-o'-wisp to float across the yard?"
"What did you say? Will the will-o'-the-wisp float?"
"Uh, yes, from left to right, passing through the big incense burner in the middle of the courtyard, it floated past in a whoosh."
The head guard Wang Zhen was silent when he heard this. This was different from the normal will-o'-the-wisp he knew.
When the other escorts saw this, their hearts sank, wondering if this trip was really about a ghost.
But some bodyguards definitely still didn't believe this. They turned around and saw Yang Yiyi and the others standing there looking at them. They immediately drew their swords and shouted:
"Is it your fault! I just feel like there's something wrong with three little girls acting alone in the wild!"
As soon as he said this, all the bodyguards pointed their weapons at Yang Yiyi and the other three, and they were ready to fight if they disagreed.
"Don't spit on anyone!"
Li Yingluo shouted: "We stay in the back room all the time, how can we have time to do anything!"
"You were here before we came, didn't you have enough time?"
"Enough!"
After all, the bodyguard leader still had the prestige. He shouted loudly, and all the bodyguards fell silent.
"What happened today is quite strange, so we should not make any hasty conclusions."
Wang Zhenbiao bowed his head to the three of them and said, "We are all rough people. Please forgive me for offending the girl with our words."
You have already apologized like this, but if you continue to argue, it will make you look petty.
But Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping both heard that there was something in the words of Escort Wang Zhen, so Yang Yiyi foolishly looked outside the door to see where the will-o'-the-wisp was.
"I don't know whether this is true or not. The three girls are not here, which will inevitably make people suspicious. I suggest that the girls move to the main hall." The two parties were monitoring each other, so they were naturally more reassured.
Just like that, it doesn't matter. It's just that Li Chengqi can't talk casually, otherwise it will be easy for the escort to hear him.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded. Li Yingluo cupped her hands and said:
"Okay, but we have to go back and pack."
For example, the folding bed and summer quilt that Li Chengqi had just taken out had to be put away.
Seeing that the three of them were so reasonable, the escort leader Wang Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief.
It is indeed abnormal for three girls to go out, but on the other hand, if three girls dare to go out, they must have martial arts skills.
With Wang Zhen's eyesight, he could naturally see that the three of them were not weak in martial arts, and it would not be pretty if they really wanted to cause trouble.
If they are here to rob escorts, they can find out in advance under his nose. If not, the three of them who are not weak in skills may be able to take care of them, and it won't be a loss no matter what.
The three of them were about to turn around and go back to their rooms to tidy up when a sudden gust of wind knocked open the door of the hall. The bonfire raised by the escorts was blown out twice, and the light dimmed instantly.
"ah!"
Almost at the same time, someone among the escorts screamed, and then a burst of swords and swords were swung wildly.
"Don't move!"
Wang Zhen shouted to calm down the situation, and quickly took out the fire stick from his arms and blew it.
With this little light, we can see that the 'Er Son' who just knelt on the ground and was shaking was now leaning against the box, covering his neck, with bright red blood seeping out from his fingers.
"Dart, dart head! There is still a ghost! Just now, a ghost claw scratched my neck!"
There was no one around except the bodyguard, and no ghosts were seen, but everyone felt as if they were facing an enemy.
"Don't talk nonsense, let me see the wound."
Erzi put down his hand tremblingly, and Wang Zhen saw a wound on his neck that looked like a sharp weapon. Fortunately, it didn't hurt a blood vessel, it just scratched a layer of skin, which looked scary.
"Boss, is there really a ghost? Am I going to be hopeless?"
The second son was frightened. His face turned pale and he cried: "I still have a mother and younger brothers and sisters to support. Am I going to die..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I think this wound seems to have been caused by a hidden weapon. It was definitely not caused by some evil hand. You kid can't die."
The escort next to him motioned to Yang Yiyi and the others with his eyes:
"Yes or no……"
"No, judging from the direction, the hidden weapon was fired from outside. It can't be those three girls."
But if you hit it from the outside, it will definitely fall to the ground. When he turned around to look, he saw no hidden weapons on the ground of the hall, only a pile of withered yellow weeds growing out of the cracks in the stone slabs.
Yang Yiyi also stretched her neck to look in the direction of the escort, and asked in a low voice when she saw this:
"Brother Li, did you see what it was? Is there really a ghost?"
"I didn't see it clearly, so it's hard to say."
Monsters appear in martial arts scripts, and it’s not uncommon for ghosts to appear.
It's just that it happened too fast, and Li Chengqi really didn't see anything.
What he saw here was that the door was blown open by the wind, and then the bodyguard covered his neck and screamed.
It should be normal for ghosts to be invisible. Unless Li Chengqi pressed the alt key to highlight all interactive items and characters on the screen, it would be impossible to see it.
"In short, whether it's someone pretending to be a ghost or a real ghost, you should be more careful."
Apart from a few words of advice, Li Chengqi had no good solution.
