At some point, the sky began to drizzle, and the dense raindrops hit the hundred-year-old blue bricks, making the sound particularly noisy.

In the apartment building with four walls leaking air, the first fierce fight was over before it even started.

Xie Jin's expression was a little dazed, because the monster's scorched and bony palm was clutching his neck tightly, and the disgusting stench was close in front of him. Just when Xie Jin was on the verge of suffocation, he heard Ji Duan's cry.

"Xie Jin! Kick her! Don't fall asleep!"

The somewhat broken cry seemed to call back Xie Jin's last sliver of sobriety. Enduring the great pain before suffocation, he tore off the mahogany skewer that had been worn on his chest. Before the woman could react, he tried his best to put the mahogany skewer Go to his chest.

The monster that is a ghost is most afraid of destroying evil, and the string of mahogany beads is also mixed with a few cinnabar. It is said that the cinnabar is also mixed with the blood of a highly respected Taoist priest.

Xie Jin felt the hand that was holding him relax for a moment, and when he was about to try to break free, he suddenly felt a strong force grabbing his neck and throwing him towards the mirror in the hall.

His back hit the dusty mirror, and the cracked thin glass shattered in an instant. The fine pieces of glass pierced through Xie Jin's cheap and large T-shirt, and deeply penetrated into the muscles of his back.

The smell of blood in the air became more intense, Xie Jin bowed his body, coughed twice dully, and spit out a small mouthful of blackened blood.

"Xie Jin! Are you injured?" Ji Duan was bitten by the shoulder by the kid, and he couldn't see Xie Jin's situation for a while. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the kid's neck with his backhand, and slammed into the concrete wall with blue bricks exposed.

The sound was the sound of broken bones, accompanied by the wailing of the little ghost, which attracted the attention of the monster. She ignored the half-dead Xie Jin on the ground, turned around and rushed towards Ji Duan with a ferocious face.

"Just a wisp of remnant soul, I will take you to pay for my life first!" The monster came fiercely, but Ji Duan didn't bother to fight. He threw the little ghost and dodged to the side. He hugged the bloody little ghost on the ground into his arms, and let out a series of angry "clucking" sounds.

"Xie Jin, how are you?" Ji Duan also saw Xie Jin's horrible appearance at this time. The man's entire back was stained red with blood. passed.

Ji Duan secretly clenched his back molars and stood in front of Xie Jin. They were only less than ten meters away from the exit, but at this moment, two ghosts, one big and one small, were blocking the only way they had to pass. The place was so big that it was impossible to avoid them and escape.

How to do? Ji Duan shook his left shoulder, where he was bitten severely by the kid during the fight just now, but it made him feel that half of his body was numb and weak.

If it is not injured, there may be a possibility of escaping, but now? Xie Jin's condition is unknown and he is unconscious. Even if he carries it on his back, he can't escape the attack of the two ghosts, one big and one small.

Ji Duan's eyes gradually became gloomy and cold. He stared coldly at the mother and child ghost who had no flaws, and helped Xie Jin from the ground, and passed him on his back.

With the ear-piercing roar of the mother and child ghosts, Ji Duan backed away slowly, like a wild beast driven to the end, even if he was injured, he would not give his opponent the slightest chance to break through.

The tense atmosphere remained at a stalemate, but the rain outside the abandoned buildings became heavier and heavier. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, the night was pierced by lightning, and despair spread silently, like invisible parasites, bit by bit eating away at the memory. side of the heart.

"Although you are just a wisp of remnant soul, you can still help us break out of this formation." The monster turned her scorched blackened head, and was about to charge over with a grinning grin, when the weedy bluestone outside the building suddenly There were rustling footsteps.

They tacitly turned their heads to look at the same time, wanting to see clearly which blind person rushed over to die at such a critical moment.

With another muffled thunder, the lightning illuminated the night palely, but it quickly returned to its original state in the next moment, and the apartment building standing in the rain sank into darkness again.

Although it was only for a moment, there was indeed a person standing at the entrance, an unknown person standing there without any reason.

There was the sound of something breaking through the air in the darkness, Ji Duan hurriedly turned his head to dodge, the thing suddenly slowed down, and slowly stuck to his face.

This touch, is it paper? No, is it paper ashes?

"What...?!" It was completely instinctive, Ji Duan leaned his neck back, and just in the time of breathing in and out, he felt a person suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.

It was the guy standing at the door just now!

"Huh?" Ji Duan heard the guy in front of him say very clearly when his nerves were anxious every minute, "What's wrong with the man behind you?"

What came to his face was an indescribable sense of oppression, Ji Duan couldn't describe that feeling, he just felt that this guy was just standing in front of him, every trace of his soul was trembling, and his body didn't seem to belong to him all.

"Don't talk? Are you in the same group?" He didn't get an answer, and the guy continued to talk to himself, "It's really uncommon for a human being to have a soul with a wisdom eye on his back."

Every bone of Ji Duan was threatened by this sense of oppression, and he heard the guy analyze it in a very brisk tone, "I see, you are the guy who broke into here by mistake and caused trouble?"

The guy suddenly pointed to the place where the mother and child ghosts were, and suddenly several green dots danced in an orderly row at his position. Ji Duan, who had adapted to the darkness, could clearly see that these were the nails of an uninvited guest. Fluorescent in the pitch-black state.

The monster roared suddenly, and she seemed to be very upset to be disturbed by the uninvited guest, so she didn't even say a word this time, and came straight to the guy's face.

"Hey, be careful...!" Before Ji Duan finished his reminder, he saw the man standing in front of himself and Xie Jin lift up the messy coir raincoat, revealing the buttoned gown inside.

"The way of heaven is completed, three to five percent, the sun and the moon are complete, come out of the sly, enter the dark, the qi preaches the way, the qi penetrates the gods, the qi acts, the treacherous ghosts and thieves will all perish. Those who see me are blind, those who listen to me are deaf, and those who dare to plot me If you suffer from it, I will be lucky and the other will be bad!"

The man quickly read a long series of mantras. Ji Duan couldn't understand what he said, but his eyes widened. Bounce back out of thin air.

Ji Duan was dumbfounded, he didn't know who the person in front of him was, and just making a trick almost wiped out most of the vigor of the mother and son ghosts.

But after the man took off his coir raincoat, Ji Duan could finally see his true face clearly.

It was a man who looked about the same age as Xie Jin, wearing an ankle-length sky-blue gown that made him almost blend into the night.

Ji Duan looked up and down the man's side face, and in the few seconds when the lightning briefly illuminated the night sky, he could be sure that the man's hair was not Asian black, but grayish silvery white.

What is more worthy of Ji Duan's attention is that the man is carrying a bamboo sack on his back, which is packed with dark sacks.

What is this person's background? It's not a business that looks like it would appear in the 21st century.

"Hey... It's you, I advise you to stay away from me, otherwise don't blame me for saving you together." The man said, he took out a charm from nowhere, and walked straight to Ji Duan regardless of Ji Duan's strange eyes. Mother and child ghosts beaten into a corner.

"Dozens of years have passed in the human world. Let alone people, this building has been abandoned. Why do you insist on resentment and refuse to be reincarnated?" He asked the mother and child ghosts. The woman was obviously a little scared, but still Holding the child in his arms, he roared at him like a trapped animal.

"Dozens of years? The fire he set off back then killed me and this child, and after he died, he was trapped here forever, so why don't I hate you! Why can't I have hatred!"

Ji Duan watched the situation over there vigilantly, and suddenly felt his breathing behind his back change. He hurriedly put Xie Jin down to check the situation.

"How are you?" He took a little look at Xie Jin's injury. The puncture wound on his back was not optimistic, and the blood was still oozing out from the wound. His hair was gray and lifeless, as if his life was not long.

Ji Duan only felt his heart tighten. He knew that he couldn't continue to procrastinate. If Xie Jin didn't get medical treatment, he would definitely go into shock due to excessive blood loss. If the bleeding couldn't stop, it would be over.

"Tsk." The man who was confronting the mother and child ghost also looked back, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and threw it to Ji Duan, "There is a tea box inside, break a piece of the box and give him to eat." .”

The cloth bag was so dilapidated that it was as big as a palm, and there were two patches sewn on it. Ji Duan dubiously followed suit, and found the tea box. When he opened it, there was a huge black ball inside, which also exuded a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

He couldn't help frowning, staring at the back of the man's head and asking, "What is this?"

"Stretch your legs and stare at the pill."

The man replied without hesitation, and his tone was not too serious, "If you don't want him to bleed too much and die, just give him a bite and swallow it."

Ji Duan squeezed the so-called "leg-stretching pill" and looked at Xie Jin who was dying. He found that Xie Jin was also looking at him, his eyes didn't look like he was asking for help, but he seemed to be relieved when he was dying.

He thought of Xie Jin's various abnormal behaviors before, and suddenly realized the strangeness, whether Xie Jin was begging for death from the beginning, he didn't have the confidence to live, and he was powerless to change his life.

Ji Duan suddenly remembered the scar on his wrist at Xie Jin's house before. Although he didn't ask what happened at the time, in retrospect, Xie Jin probably caused it himself.

Presumably, this man who is as fragile as glass has his own secret that no one knows, and he himself has become fragmented because of this secret, and anything can push him to the abyss of death.

Ji Duan grabbed Xie Jin's chin, he could clearly feel that the man's life was being lost, he grabbed a piece from the black ball with a cold face, and half-forced it into Xie Jin's mouth.

"Swallow it, and I won't let you die."

He took out Xie Jin's water glass from his backpack, touched it with his hand, and found that the man hadn't swallowed the ball yet.

Ji Duan didn't get angry at all. He was stubborn at this time, and he wanted to die. He unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip by himself. He supported Xie Jin's chin and poured the water into Xie Jin's mouth.

Xie Jin was almost too weak to struggle at this time. He wanted to tell the young man to leave him alone, and it would be a good thing to just let him die.

But he never thought that Ji Duan would stick to him and feed himself and drink water mouth to mouth, and force him to swallow the pill of unknown effect into his throat.

The lips of the two were tightly pressed together, but Xie Jin was still refusing, biting his teeth and refusing to let go, Ji Duan simply grabbed his jawbone, opened his teeth, and rolled his tongue around the pill in the man's mouth, Follow the water and send it down your throat.

"Cough! Cough!" Xie Jin coughed violently, his face turned bloody because of these coughs, Xie Jin was held by Ji Duan's shoulders and sat up from the ground.

"Just don't pull out the glass slag, and go to the hospital for treatment in a while." Ji Duan's voice was a little cold, "You promised to help me retrieve my memory before, and have you forgotten about the mutual benefit with me?"

Xie Jin didn't speak. He secretly glanced at the young man's face. Knowing that Ji Duan was really angry, Xie Jin coughed twice, "...Who is that person."

"Who knows, he is a guy who came out of nowhere, and it is enough to make people angry."

Ji Duan squatted beside Xie Jin and looked at the situation on the other side again. Just now, when he gave Xie Jin medicine, the man had almost subdued the mother and child ghosts by some unknown method, and now he is standing in front of the two ghosts, trying to resolve the woman's obsession with burning coke.

The woman was holding the child, and although she cried, she still couldn't see anything on her charred face: "It was he who was sorry for me, and he set fire to kill me and the child. He imprisoned us here for eternity, but he started a family and business. I hate it..."

"When will the grievances be repaid, you always have to think about some things in the long run. Nearly a hundred years have passed, and the person you want to avenge committed evil deeds and has long since passed away. If you must repay grievances, it is better to wait until the next life to settle accounts, everything will be settled. for the kids."

Child, the child cannot be like her, cannot be reincarnated, and can only linger in the world like this. The woman was silent, she hugged her unrecognizable child and nodded lightly.

The man threw the braid hanging from his chest to his back, and he silently recited the rebirth mantra. The mother and son were sobbing, their bodies gradually faded, and finally disappeared into a ray of golden light.

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate."

After doing all this, he turned around and came to the two of them. Seeing that Xie Jin was fully awake, he raised his eyebrows with satisfaction.

"It's not bad, the blood has stopped." The man took out a fire stick out of nowhere, and only after lighting it did his face appear in front of Xie Jin and Ji Duan.

"So, what are you doing here?" He narrowed his narrow eyes, a little strange, "I made a mistake in my calculations just now, you didn't enter by accident, right?"

His eyes glanced at the scattered equipment on the ground, and a chill flashed in his eyes, "You, and you, do you know that if I hadn't happened to pass by, you would have been devoured by that female ghost?"

"That, thank you..." Xie Jin coughed twice, trying to get up from Ji Duan's arms, "If it wasn't...cough!"

"Don't be stubborn." Ji Duan Xie Jin returned to the original position again, and the guard in his eyes became more intense, "Who are you? Why do you appear in this remote place where birds don't shit? Also, Why save us?"

Ji Duan's series of questions really surprised the white-haired man. He was stunned, and then laughed: "Is it me asking you or you asking me, you are really interesting!"

The dim light of Huozhezi reflected on his face. The white-haired man sat in the ruins. He didn't care whether the place was clean or not. He smiled and met the eyes of the two of them.

"My name is Wen Liang. I'm a Taoist who travels all over the world. I felt strange when I passed by here, so I came in to save you. That's probably how it happened."

Here he comes
