Nightmare Apostle

The director wanted to kill him, which Yang Xiaojue didn't expect. His mind went blank for a moment, but after just a moment's hesitation, the arrow hit his chest.

There was no painful stinging sensation, but it was like being stabbed hard by a stick. The huge force knocked him upside down. It turned out to be a blunt-headed arrow. When he fell to the ground, a blade flashed across his body. The jet-black dagger just missed him.

It was the "bodyguard" who sneaked up on him from behind. If it hadn't been for Nalan Shuo's arrow, this knife would have stabbed him to the core.

However, Yang Xiao still complained a little. He didn't understand why the director didn't shoot the "bodyguard" but himself because he had such precise archery skills. Was it because it was cool?

The "bodyguard" stabbed the air with his knife, then raised his foot and stepped heavily on Yang Xiao who was on the ground. Fortunately, Yang Xiao reacted quickly and rolled to one side to avoid. Although he was a little embarrassed, luckily he was not injured. At this moment, the long-lost fourth pass The drums finally arrived.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the rhythm of the drums gradually accelerated, the situation at the scene also changed and suddenly became chaotic. The ghost-faced priests who had previously worshiped devoutly got up and fled in all directions. The few lantern-carrying priests in the innermost circle also extinguished their lanterns. , the lanterns hanging everywhere in the courtyard were extinguished one by one, and the light became darker and darker, as if something big was about to happen.

"Don't... don't mess up!" Xiang Fengchen, who was exhausted and out of breath, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Stay where you are!"

There were chaotic crowds all around, and the situation was unclear. Yang Xiao did not dare to run around. With the remaining light, he saw the ghost-faced priests tearing off the white cloth on the outside, and then a few people wrapped it around them like a net. The "bodyguard" not far from him was caught in the net. Strangely enough, after being trapped in the net, the previously lively "bodyguard" immediately stopped moving, as if he was dead.

Yang Xiao suddenly thought that Xiang Fengchen had mentioned that the white cloth on the outside was made of soul-calling flags, and he was afraid that there was something wrong with these "bodyguards".

The chaos lasted for a short time. The trapped "bodyguards" were dragged away, and the ghost-faced priests also quickly escaped.

Within a few minutes, they were the only ones left in the courtyard, and even the team of drummers and gongs were nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the condition of these people is not good. Almost everyone's physical strength has reached the limit, and several people are injured. Yang Xiao hurt his ear and blood spilled all over his shoulder. Lou Huiyang's arm was stabbed, and the most serious injury was. The worst one was Gong Banlan. Because she used her body to block the "Green Ghost" attack at the beginning, she suffered many injuries on her body, including her back.

The blood on her shoulders and the most serious part on her abdomen stained her clothes red. At this moment, she was lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

After all the dust settled, Jiang Qingwan stepped forward, pulled off the baggage she had wrapped during the day, and bandaged her wound. Fortunately, Gong Banlan's leg was not injured, and she could at least walk.

After what happened during this period of time, Gong Banlan seemed to be afraid that everyone would abandon her. She cried and grabbed Jiang Qingluan's hand, begging not to leave her.

"Don't worry, your injury was left to protect that person. It was for all of us. We will not abandon you." Protecting "Green Ghost" was Xiang Fengchen's order. At this time, he must To stand up.

Just as everyone was debating whether to leave or stay, a man approached outside the courtyard gate, holding a green lantern in his hand.

I couldn't see the face clearly, but judging from the attire, it was probably a man. The man was standing outside the courtyard gate, waving to them from a distance, his movements stiff and stiff, as if he was possessed.

Nalan Shuo turned his head and looked behind him. There was a high platform covered by Weiman. Not long ago, it was here that the "Green Ghost" was released, and there were nine guys dressed like them. "Go over." Nalan Shuo said One walked over.

"I'm here to deliver a message for Manager Wu. You all did a good job. Please go back and rest." The strange man turned around expressionlessly and said, "Please follow me."

"clatter."

"clatter."

"clatter."

The footsteps stepped on the bluestone, making a clicking sound. The whole house was very quiet at this time, which was very different from the chaotic feeling during the previous ceremony. Yang Xiao and the others even felt unreal, as if they had once everything,

It's all just an illusion, they've been possessed.

"This doesn't seem to be the way back." Jiang Qingluan, who was walking behind, suddenly said.

"There are taboos after exorcising evil spirits. Manager Wu is worried that you may have some bad luck, so he asked us servants to help you clean the yard to remove any bad luck. The house has arranged another room for you. Please wait a moment." Without looking back, his tone was submissive with a hint of coldness. His movements seemed stiff, but in fact his steps were extremely fast.

Yang Xiao and the others were somewhat embarrassed. Gong Banlan was seriously injured and could not walk fast. Jiang Qingluan and Chang Chuchu were holding her on the left and right.

Not long after, a group of people followed the man to an unfamiliar courtyard. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time. In the center was a large house with faint light coming from inside. When he opened the door, the man settled the group of people in. here.

There was an Eight Immortals table in the room. In addition to tea, there was also a triangular incense burner. In front of them, the man

He took out a dark red thick incense stick from his arms, lit it and inserted it, "This incense lasts for about half an hour.

After the incense is burned out, the yard will be almost tidied up, and you can go back. "

After a pause, the man's voice changed, and his originally stiff face became even colder, "But remember,

Don't go together, just one or two, and as soon as possible. If you are late, there will be a curfew. "

"Why can't we go back together?" Yang Xiao asked, "Is it because there is something wrong with our room?"

"The same journey is unlucky."

The man only answered Yang Xiao's first question coldly, and it was still an ambiguous answer. As for the second question, he simply ignored it, but it was this attitude that made everyone feel upset.

After finishing speaking, the man pointed in a direction and left without looking back, thinking that that place was the courtyard where they lived.

After the man left completely and no footsteps could be heard, Zhang Songde and Chang Chuchu who were guarding behind the door immediately closed the door and locked it. This seemingly weak wooden door now provided them with a small sense of security. .

"What do he mean by this?" Chang Chuchu asked quickly, "What did they do to the place where we live?"

"It can't be that a ghost is hiding inside." The more Zhang Songde thought about it, the more likely it became. "The ghost is hiding in one of the rooms. Whoever pushes the door in will die."

"Betting on your life?" Lou Huiyang's face turned pale unconsciously.

Everyone present was a veteran. Although they thought this idea was too scary, upon closer inspection, it was possible. Going back one by one was probably because the ghost could only kill one person in a short period of time, and the most difficult thing was that once the ghost killed After dropping the first person, it can disguise itself as that person and lure the next one in. People in different rooms may be killed.

In this regard, Jiang Qingluan once talked about a mission he had experienced. At that time, they made a big mistake unintentionally.

They mistook the ghosts for villagers and took them home. As a result, they lost 4 people that night, and only 3 people survived.

Now that things have happened, everyone has turned their attention to the two seniors, Xiang Fengchen and Nalan Shuo. Here, these two have the most say.

"Don't mess up. We still have plenty of time. Let's take care of all the injuries on the body first." After Nalan Shuo came in, he quickly checked the room and found a small medicine box with hemostatic medicine in it, as well as some neatly folded, clean of cloth.

Suddenly, Gong Banlan, who was lying on the ground due to serious injuries, grabbed Xiang Fengchen's trouser legs and begged: "Mr. Xiang,

Please help me bandage my wound, I...I don't want to die! "

With the help of everyone, Gong Banlan was carried into the inner room. There was a bed there, and Gong Banlan was lying on it. After all, some wounds were relatively sensitive. Xiang Fengchen motioned everyone to go to the room outside to continue the discussion, leaving only He took off Gong Banlan's clothes and bandaged his wounds alone.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xiang Fengchen sprinkled the white medicine on the wound, moved closer to observe, and whispered: "What do you want to tell me?"

When Gong Banlan pulled his trouser leg, he squeezed it hard. It was obvious that he had something to say, and... it was not convenient to say it in front of everyone.

"Mr. Xiang, you asked us to stare at each other before. The person in front of me is Zhang Songde. I saw with my own eyes that his leg... his leg was chopped!" Gong Banlan spoke so fast that even his voice Trembling.

Xiang Fengchen took a deep breath and pretended to turn around casually. He happened to see Zhang Songde outside the door with his back turned and arguing fiercely with someone, but one of his legs was safe and sound.
