The Exorcist

Chapter 26 Remains

The strange baby was not completely dead, so when the incense tip touched it, it let out a deafening baby cry and twisted the little monkey's body vigorously, with extreme fear and unwillingness in its eyes.

But it was useless. It was like a piece of ice. It melted quickly when it encountered the heat of incense. It expanded from a point to a hole. Then the incense penetrated the body and continued to expand. The body was burned and severed from the middle until it was completely It became invisible and dissipated into the air as a puff of smoke.

At this moment, everyone present finally let out a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the monster we encountered and fought against turned out to be such a powerful monster. Our ability to finally defeat it depended entirely on Uncle Bao's calculations, as well as our mutual cooperation and luck. If this happens again, I don’t know what the outcome will be!

But what I wonder is why there is no movement under my feet. Judging from the excitement and sadness of the female ghost just now, it is impossible that the death of this strange baby would not be a blow to her, but why didn't she react?

You must be desperate! Is there hope for a ghost?

Uncle Bao on the other side was not very happy. He had subdued such a powerful ghost and demon, and he still had the same calm and even dull expression on his face. Even Bao Datong didn't say much and silently packed up the things scattered on the ground, including the I burned it over and over again, but no trace of the incense was consumed.

After A-Zhan sat on the ground for a while, he suddenly said "Hey", stood up, ran to the place where the strange baby disappeared, and picked up something.

"What is this? Yuan Dan?" He walked over and handed the thing in his hand to Uncle Bao and asked.

It was an extremely transparent bead, dragging it in Uncle Bao's palm. If it weren't for the refraction of the sun that gave it a sense of outline, others wouldn't be able to see what was in his palm. It is as pure as a drop of water, perfectly integrated with the outside world. So it was placed on the ground just now, and no one noticed it.

Uncle Bao looked at the bead carefully and sniffed it again, "There is a spirit of ghosts and monsters on it. It must have fallen from the body of the monster baby when he was refining it. But how can you see it? Are you born with yin and yang eyes?" Wrong, but I didn’t expect your natural ability to be so strong that you can even see hidden objects. How amazing!”

"What on earth is this?" Bao Datong stretched his head over.

"Well - logically it should be the inner elixir cultivated by ghosts, but I don't understand why she, an ordinary ghost, would practice this and be so clean, although she may have been dead for a long time. But I guess the strange baby He dared to run out in the daytime just because he got this treasure." Uncle Bao explained.

"But if you give the inner elixir to others, wouldn't it be easy for you to die?" Bao Datong asked.

"So, the life experience of the female ghost and the strange baby must be related. Maybe, they are really mother and child."

"Want to take a look?" Bao Datong asked again.

"Uncle, we still have friends who are trapped." Azhan interrupted, "If they are not dead, please ask uncle to save them until the end."

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you!" Bao Datong replied.

Azhan ignored him and looked at Uncle Bao.

Uncle Bao nodded to him and walked slowly to my side.

He carefully walked around the hole in the ground a few times, as if to judge the situation below, and after a while he said, "This hole is too small, we can't get in, and the situation is unknown."

"Are you going to dig out the ghost nest?" Bao Datong said a little excitedly. This made me feel a little more disgusted with him. The lives of my friends were uncertain, and my heart was always hanging. I didn't know what happened to them, what happened to Nana, how could he show such a game attitude towards life? !

"There is ghost energy, but it is complicated and weak. I think you should go down and have a look first." Uncle Bao said.

I glanced at Bao Datong and saw that although he was a little thinner than A Zhan and I, he was still a young man of medium height. He could not get into this small hole no matter what. Furthermore, since the situation below is unclear, how could Uncle Bao be willing to let his son go down to do experiments with white mice? !

"Isn't this too dangerous?" Azhan said what was in my heart.

"It doesn't matter." Uncle Bao smiled, took the so-called "Seven Color Sword" that Bao Datong held in his hand, which looked more like a rusty iron sword, and scratched it at my feet casually, "Wanli, you can leave here. It’s a circle,” he said.

Hearing this, I subconsciously raised my feet and stepped out, only to see that the red circle under my feet had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed at all, and my feet were numb from standing here hard for a long time!

As soon as I left, Bao Datong was sitting there cross-legged!

"It's not that the place where your feet stand is noble, it's that the location here is just right." He explained with a playful smile, and before I could refute him, he slowly closed his eyes, like an old monk entering trance, and soon It was as quiet as a stone, and it seemed that it had entered a state of forgetting both things and myself. This can't help but make me admire him a little. Although he is annoying, his physical and emotional state changes so quickly. It is obvious that he has a high emotional intelligence.

Uncle Bao on the side saw that Bao Datong was ready, so he took out a piece of talisman from his big cloth pocket, but this time he did not let the talisman burn, but stuck it on Bao Datong's head. Then he took three steps back and started making gestures with his iron sword. Still like a weird dance, slowly waving his arms, turning around, and stamping his feet——

He was mumbling something, very softly, not as loud as when dealing with the strange baby, a bit like babble. But this seems a bit surprising to me, because although I knew that they were different from A Zhan's sect, I never thought there was such a big difference. Ah Zhan always draws talismans in the air, and his movements are quite chic and a little cold, while the Bao and his son's rituals are complex and a bit comical.

Uncle Bao continued to read, and his straight tone made me drowsy. But when I felt that my eyelids were a little twitching, he suddenly jumped up, raised his iron sword and stabbed Bao Datong in the chest!

This scene almost made me scream. Fortunately, A Zhan pulled me aside. I saw clearly that Uncle Bao's sword stopped when it reached my son's chest. However, he just struck too hard and too fast. I didn't expect him. Being able to control it like this, I thought he was possessed by something and was going to stage a parricide drama!

The tip of the iron sword gently pierced Bao Datong's heart. It would not hurt him, but it pressed his body, making him and the sword closely connected through a thin layer of clothing.

Uncle Bao continued to chant. Although I still couldn't hear clearly what he was chanting, I felt that he was using another spell. After about a minute of this, the iron sword suddenly lit up, trembled non-stop, and made a buzzing sound.

"Okay, go ahead, don't be playful, come back quickly!" Uncle Bao suddenly spoke to the sword, his tone was kind and worried, which made me dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute." Ah Zhan saw Uncle Bao take out a ball of red rope, tie one end to the hilt of the sword, and was about to put the sword down through the hole, which was only one foot in diameter. As if he understood what Uncle Bao was doing, he quickly stopped him. , and then without thinking, he lay down on the ground and threw down the bloodwood sword in his hand.

"Azhan, what are you doing?" I was startled, but it was too late to stop me. You must know that the Bloodwood Sword was a relic left to him by his father. He would never leave it until he died, so he threw it into this hole for some reason.

"Azhan, you don't have to be like this. You must know that this is a rare treasure in the Taoist world." After being stunned for a moment, Uncle Bao said happily as if he understood Azhan's intention.

"I'll get it back!" Ashan said, he retreated to the original place and stopped talking. He watched Uncle Bao carefully put the sword down at the hole, and after the sword body sank, he slowly relaxed the red grip in his hand. rope.

At this time, his expression was solemn, as if the end of the rope was the most precious thing in his life, which made him unconsciously show extreme concern on his facial expression. He also listened attentively and felt carefully until the red ball in his hand Only the last part of the rope was left in his hand, so he stopped letting go and held it tightly!

"Bao Datong, he-" I turned my head and glanced at A Zhan, and couldn't help but ask.

I have seen Bao Datong sitting there like a stone sculpture for a long time, and now it seems that he is not even breathing. Coupled with Uncle Bao's abnormal demeanor, he suddenly realized that Bao Datong might have had an out-of-body experience. He first possessed the sword and then went down to check the situation. And this is why A Zhan threw the Blood Wood Sword into the hole. He wanted to use the Blood Wood Sword's natural ability to exorcise evil spirits to clear the way for Bao Datong!

A Zhan nodded and turned his gaze to the entrance of the cave.

I saw the red rope twisting twice and seemed to be moving forward. Uncle Bao approached the hole and stretched the red rope as long as possible, but when his hand reached the hole, he could no longer let go. He stayed like that for a while before pulling back twice more.

"Come back!" he muttered and started to back up. And the red rope gradually softened as if consciously, as if there was an invisible man standing there operating it, coiling regularly around the ground in circles, and then the sword began to appear at the entrance of the hole.

Uncle Bao rushed forward, reached for the sword, and looked up and down a few times nervously. Then with a relieved smile, he pointed the tip of the sword at the chest of the 'human sculpture' and watched. The sword shone and trembled again, and Bao Datong woke up leisurely.

"The situation is quite complicated." He said after taking half a breath, for fear that others would steal his words. This man's love for talking is evident.

"Oh, what's the complicated method?" Seeing that A Zhan and I didn't talk to each other, Uncle Bao had no choice but to cooperate with his son.

"There are three ghosts and a dozen evil living people down there!"

"real?"

"We'll go right away!"

As soon as Bao Datong said his second sentence, Ah Zhan and I answered almost at the same time.

Bao Datong glanced at us proudly, as if to say, "Don't you like talking to me?"

"Datong, don't show off, talk quickly!" Uncle Bao urged, with a bit of reproach in his tone, "It is our duty to help those in need, how can you use it to fight?"

Bao Datong stuck out his tongue and spoke slowly.

It turned out that there was a large stone tomb under the stone ground, which almost extended to the bottom of the pool. However, the waterproof layer of this stone tomb is quite good. It has been under the pool all year round. Apart from being damp, there is no sign of water seepage.

There are three ghosts in the tomb, one is a female ghost in gorgeous clothes, but since Bao Datong went down, she has just sat blankly without any reaction, the other seems to be the maid she was buried with, and the other is a newly deceased male ghost. , is a young man, probably Zhao Jiang. Because A Zhan just happened to throw the blood wood sword at the entrance of the tomb, he suppressed them in the corner. They didn't dare to move at all, and they didn't seem to have any anger or resentment at all.

"We have to find a way to get in before dawn, otherwise how will we rescue our companions?" I asked anxiously, "How about digging through the entrance of the cave?"

"As I said, there is a big stone slab underneath, and the waterproofing work is quite good. It is not easy to dig out, unless you use explosives, or you have the ability of that weird baby to break out of the earth!"

"Just tell me what you want to do!" A Zhan was also very anxious.

"When I was down there, I saw the robber cave. It seemed that grave robbers had visited it a long time ago. There must be a covered cave entrance three hundred meters to the left of the exit. If we want to go, we can enter from there. ”

"Okay, let's go right now!" I turned around and was about to leave, but Uncle Bao pulled me back.

"Slow down, young people, don't be impulsive, you still have to do some work beforehand. You should at least get some lighting, right?"

I was right when I heard it. I hurriedly dug out a few large flashlights with Azhan among the things we had discarded. I felt regretful and thought that if I could have calmed down a bit last night and brought some equipment, maybe the situation would have been better.

And Uncle Bao over there, when we were looking for things, took those small flags and chanted a spell, and then carefully placed them around the hole.

Bao Datong has a strong sense of direction, so we quickly found the entrance to the robbery cave, but the entrance was so small that we had to crawl in, which was very painful for me, who had broken wrist bones and ribs. I think Azhan was also in great pain, because I could hear his heavy breathing.

When we went in after all our efforts, we found that the tomb was very large and seemed to have been built by a wealthy family. It was somewhat ventilated because it had been dug up a long time ago. In addition, the tomb was very clean and there was no mess like it had been stolen.

"I really don't understand why it's so weird to build it under a pool in the valley. According to Feng Shui, this is a very unlucky place." Bao Datong can always ask the questions in my mind first. It also belongs to Yin. This Yin is added to Yin, and it is still in this valley of despair. Doesn’t this mean that the people buried here will never be reincarnated? Also, it doesn’t make sense to say that it was done by relatives. If it was enemies, Why do you want to build such a good tomb? It’s really strange!”

"You can find out if you just ask." Azhan felt a little impatient because he thought Bao Datong talked too much, so he took the lead in entering the second tomb.

As soon as I entered, I almost shouted!

Through the bright light of a large flashlight, we saw a row of people sitting on the ground, densely packed and dark at first glance. They all had the same posture and expression, and their eyes were staring in one direction without blinking. It's like the incorruptible dead buried with it, and like a bunch of dolls. If the person who suddenly breaks in is timid, he will be scared to death.

"Nana!" I recognized the girl in the middle at a glance. She was my sweetheart, Azhan's girlfriend.

"As I said, young people should calm down." Uncle Bao stopped me again, "They are not in danger for the time being, so we should go inside first."

Not allowing me to distinguish, I was dragged to the last tomb chamber.

It's very big, but also very empty. Except for a big coffin in the middle, there are only three ghosts.

The Bloodwood Sword is at the door of the tomb, so there are two ghosts squatting facing the corner. One is a thin woman in ancient clothes, huddled indifferently, and the other is equally thin, but looking at us eagerly. , none other than Zhao Jiang!

The third one was wearing gorgeous red clothes that seemed to never fade, and her long hair blocked her face!

"Is this yours?" Uncle Bao, who had been saying to take his time, suddenly took out the bead.

During the day, you can't see its shadow, but in this dark tomb, it exudes brilliance like pearls!

The third ghost said nothing.

Uncle Bao asked again and took a step forward.

This time, she moved and then suddenly stood up straight!
