Chapter 139 The Shadow of the Ancient Temple (6)
"Give me a talisman." Since the ghost appeared by itself, it happened to save them looking for it.
Taking the talisman paper from Zhou Zhou, Alvia walked towards the ghost hanging on the beam. The ghost suddenly opened its eyes, and smiled strangely at the two people below. The laughter was ear-piercing and ugly.
The moment before Alvia pasted the talisman paper on it, the ghost actually climbed up the beam.
The hanging white silk disappeared, leaving only a clear dark purple strangle mark on the neck.
Its body was so soft that it climbed up the beam easily like a reptile, and its eyes were fixed on the two people below.
The beast-like yellow pupils glowed with a cold color, as if they were measuring the strength of the two people below, they rushed towards Zhou Zhou after a while.
Just the moment it approached Zhou Zhou, Alvia had already come to Zhou Zhou's side.
The ghost with the long tongue sensed the danger, so it turned directly and flew back to the beam from mid-air.
This ghost can fly?Zhou Zhou stared at the hanged ghost in amazement.
The hanged ghost had a hideous and terrifying expression, but it was a human female. It put away its long tongue and said to Zhou Zhou: "Life is too short, so it's better to be like a servant. You can reach bliss early."
As he spoke, he threw a white silk at Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou: "..."
The white silk fluttered to the ground, Zhou Zhou and Alvia didn't move.
Confusion flashed in the eyes of the hanged ghost, and then he threw out a white silk: "Life is too short, it's better to follow the slave's house, and reach bliss early."
Two white silk silks spread out on the green brick floor, Zhou Zhou looked at the ground, and then stared blankly at the hanged ghost on the beam.
The hanged ghost tilted his head, and threw out another white silk: "Life is short..."
Zhou Zhou turned to Alvia and said, "Is it stuck?"
Alvia: "...Maybe."
Seeing that the third piece of white silk was about to fall to the ground, Zhou Zhou stepped forward to catch it. It felt cool and smooth to the touch, and it seemed that the material was quite good.
Seeing Zhou Zhou grabbing the white silk, the hanged ghost covered his mouth and giggled. The laughter was still hoarse and unpleasant. Then, with a wave of his finger, the white silk in Zhou Zhou's hand moved automatically without any wind, and the other end fluttered around the beam.After turning around, it fell into Zhou Zhou's hands.
Zhou Zhou looked at the two ends of the white silk in his hand, it seemed that it was almost a knot.
For some unknown reason, Zhou Zhou obediently tied a knot on the white silk, and then looked at the hanged ghost.
The hanged ghost seemed very satisfied with Zhou Zhou's understanding, but seeing Zhou Zhou staring at it motionlessly, he asked strangely, "Why don't you hang yourself?"
Zhou Zhou looked curious: "Why do you think that I will listen to your words and hang myself?"
The hanged ghost was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became annoyed: "You haven't been bewitched?"
"Are you bewitching me? When?" Zhou Zhou didn't feel anything. No wonder the hanged ghost behaved so abnormally. He thought he was bewitched and would hang himself.
The hanged ghost felt that he had been deceived, and rushed towards Zhou Zhou with a ferocious expression. At the same time, the two white silks on the ground floated up like snakes and attacked Alvia.
Alvia hid in two white silks and moved towards Zhou Zhou's location.
At some point, Zhou Zhou was holding a talisman in his hand, and stuck to it the moment the hanged ghost rushed over, the hanged ghost was caught, and fell from midair to the ground.
Zhou Zhou blinked and smiled at Alvia in front of him. It turned out that when the hanged ghost attacked Zhou Zhou just now, the white silk hanging on the beam seemed to be alive, trying to wrap around Zhou Zhou's neck, butIn the end, he was caught by Alvia.
The hanged ghost was taken away by the gods and Buddhas who appeared, but the few people who went up to the tower did not come down for a long time.
"The hanged ghost was caught by us, so what kind of ghost is up there?"
Zhou Zhou looked up the steps, but couldn't see anything. He could only hear screams coming from above.
"Let's go up and have a look." Now it seems that there should be a ghost up there, Zhou Zhou was really worried and said to Alvia.
But before they could go up, all the players above ran down, looking flustered, and found Zhou Zhou standing at the top of the steps, shouting loudly: "Zhou Zhou, run!"
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Zhou Zhou asked, Shirley, who was the first to run down, grabbed his sleeve and ran out.
Confused, he ran out of the tower with everyone, seeing everyone panting, Zhou Zhou also stood silently waiting for everyone to recover.
"Close the door and don't let that thing out."
Eddie and Qian Le at the rear immediately closed and bolted the door, and found a wooden stick from the side to hold the door.
"I can't get out now." Shirley reassured.
"Well, Al is still inside." Zhou Zhou suddenly said.
The players present seemed to be frozen, and they stopped panting, and their hearts were lifted again.
Shirley turned her head and looked at the other players: "Didn't you bring Al with you when you came out?"
The others looked at each other blankly. At that time, they were running for their lives. Who remembers to check whether others are there.
"Quick, quick, open the door."
Zhou Zhou is not worried about Alvia, no matter what ghosts are in it, it can be easily solved by Alvia, and he still has a piece of talisman paper in his hand, just stick it on when encountering difficult ghosts.
"What happened?" Zhou Zhou asked curiously.
Shirley leaned over nervously: "Zhou Zhou, you don't know, what we saw was not a hanged ghost at all, that ghost was a headless ghost, his head fell off all over the place, my God, I'm not well.”
It turned out that when Eddie looked over for the second time, the player's body inside disappeared, but a strange sound came from the eighth floor.
Shirley and Keli were at the back. They were waiting for Eddie to send a message, but they heard the sound of thumping on the eighth floor. When they turned their heads, they saw a headless ghost wandering around on the eighth floor.
Shirley immediately screamed in fright, but the other party groped along the sound.
After a few people were in chaos, they found that this ghost could not see people, but it had excellent hearing, and could immediately spot any trouble.
Everyone held their breath and focused, while Eddie approached the headless ghost with the talisman, but the talisman couldn't stick on it, and fell off as soon as it was attached to the headless ghost. Not only was the movement of the headless ghost not affected, but he also foundEddie's presence.
A group of them besieged the headless ghost, and then rescued Eddie who was strangled by the neck.
The talisman is ineffective against the headless ghost, and everyone didn't know what to do for a while, squatting in the corner and playing hide-and-seek with the headless ghost.
The talisman paper is effective for the ghosts encountered before, and it is impossible to lose its effect suddenly, so in the end, everyone tried to stick it everywhere on the headless ghost. Could it be that the talisman paper failed because it was not pasted on the place?.
As a result, this trick was completely useless, and even annoyed the headless ghost, who chased them furiously, and everyone ran down the tower.
And when they ran past the seventh and sixth floors, countless human heads appeared on the empty ground. The identical heads glared at them, as if they had some kind of vengeance, and with the help of the bouncing power of their necks, they opened their mouths and bit them.Come over, everyone can only flee in embarrassment.
Shirley waved his hands excitedly, trying to describe the scene he saw, but Zhou Zhou's reaction was flat.
"Oh." Head off, I have met such a real NPC before, I miss it a bit.
When the two were talking, Qian Le and Eddie had already reopened the door, and then Alvia walked out slowly.
Qian Le was stunned for a moment, then sneaked a look inside, and found that none of the heads of those tumbling people were there.
"Where is the person, right, where is the head?"
Alvia glanced at him and said calmly; "It's gone."
"What? It's gone, but we tried the talisman to no avail." Qian Le asked in disbelief.
Alvia walked towards Zhou Zhou: "The headless ghost's body and head are connected together, so the talisman paper will be useful."
Eddie was still a little confused: "But there are dozens of heads chasing us down just now, how do you know which one is the real head of the headless ghost?"
Alvia stood beside Zhou Zhou: "Look with your eyes."
Eddie: "..."
They are clearly the same, but how can you tell with your eyes?
Seeing that Alvia had no intention of continuing the chat, Keli sneaked into the tower to explore left and right, and found that it was really calm, and the scene where they were chased by the wolf just now seemed like a hallucination.
"Anyway, I've already caught it, and there are three more ghosts." Keli said.
"There are two more. We met the hanged ghost just now." Zhou Zhou added.
Speaking of which, Zhou Zhou and Ai Er wiped out the two ghosts in the tower, and they didn't do anything.
Afterwards, they searched the pagoda several times to make sure that there were no more ghosts here before returning to the temple.
Shirley looked at the sky: "It seems that the remaining two ghosts should appear at night, after all, the temple and the tower have been searched several times."
Others thought so too, so they spent the rest of the day waiting in the temple for dark.
Zhou Zhou liked this temple very much. The simple and unsophisticated style is very friendly. He even burned incense in the incense burners in front of each Buddha, and worshiped again.
Except for the last Faceless Buddha.
Finally, when it was dark, the players cheered up and searched everywhere.
Now there are still two talisman papers, one is on Shirley's body, and the other is on Eddie's body. After he took the talisman paper, he has not been able to use it. He originally wanted to return it to Zhou Zhou, but Zhou Zhou didn't want it.At that time, everyone hunted ghosts together, no matter who took them.
Eddie is determined to catch the next ghost, and Zhou Zhou and Al can't always be busy, they are just a display.
So be extra diligent when looking for it.
"Do you think ghosts will stay in the trees?" Eddie used lighting tools to shine on the dense pines and cypresses in the courtyard, then turned to Qian Le and said, "Qian Le, I think we can..."
There was no one behind him, and Qian Le was lying on the other side beside the flowers, picking flowers and plants, and didn't hear him at all.
Eddie looked at Qian Le's position and scratched his head in doubt. Didn't Qian Le always follow behind him?When did you run so far.
He continued to shine the flashlight on the pines and cypresses, but suddenly turned around, and there was nothing behind the flashlight.
Eddie turned back as if nothing had happened, and continued to search nearby.
His expression was serious, because he could feel someone behind him, following him step by step, but turned his head but saw nothing.
It should be a ghost.
Eddie opened his task panel, and sure enough, he saw the prompt message of the next ghost.
This ghost is called the Suspender Ghost.
Eddie: No, what the hell is this?
He walked to Qian Le and kicked Qian Le who was about to get into the flowers: "What are you doing, don't destroy the flowers and trees."
Qian Le raised her head and stared at him speechlessly: "I'm looking for a ghost."
"I think the ghost is probably hiding in the tree, follow me to look for it over there." Eddie said while winking at Qian Le.
Originally, Qian Le was still wondering if Eddie's eyes were twitching, but the field training some time ago allowed them to develop some tacit understanding, and Qian Le suddenly realized that Eddie seemed to have discovered something.
Following Eddie, Qian Le also felt that there seemed to be someone following him behind him, but when he turned his head, there was no one there.
"You feel it too?" Eddie asked softly.
Qian Le nodded.
"Think of a way to lure it out." Eddie half-clasped one hand, holding a talisman inside.
Qian Le took a few steps forward, walking side by side with Eddie, and the ghost behind them followed them all the time.
When the two walked under the tree and held up the lighting tool to look up the tree, the two moved swiftly towards the back.
Qian Le grabbed the ghost behind him, and Eddie quickly pasted the talisman on the ghost.
Seeing the small dark group behind him freeze still, Qian Le asked in disbelief: "So you caught it?"
Being able to be fixed by the talisman means that this ghost is indeed real. Eddie nodded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "Yes, we caught a ghost."
When the smoke appeared again, other people came over and found that the ninth ghost was actually caught by Qian Le and Eddie, and they all asked how they caught it.
Because the process was too simple, both of them shook their heads in silence, with a profound look of mysteries of heaven must not be revealed.
But this time the god and Buddha summoned turned out to be Guanyin, who only met with compassion, and the smiling Guanyin waved the willow in his hand, and the ghost disappeared.
Mission progress 9/10.
At the same time, Keli also found the clue of the last ghost, which was on the faceless statue.
"When I came here at noon, the statue obviously lowered its head slightly. Just now, the Buddha statue was looking straight ahead. There must be something wrong." Keli vowed.
Everyone stood in the temple, looking at the Buddha statue sitting on the lotus platform with its head slightly lowered, and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you saw it looking straight ahead just now? Didn't you get dazzled?"
Keli said unhappily: "I'm not old and dim-sighted, and I already thought there was something wrong with this Buddha statue."
Keli was very careful. He found that Zhou Zhou didn't seem to like this Buddha statue. He had worshiped all the other Buddha statues, but he didn't have any interest in this Buddha statue. So when he was looking for ghosts, he paid special attention to the Faceless Buddha statue.Only then was the exception discovered.
The crowd observed carefully around the Buddha statue, and found nothing unusual. Shirley took out the last talisman paper and pasted it on, and the talisman slipped off the Buddha statue.
"The talisman is invalid, there is still something wrong." Shirley picked up the talisman that fell on the ground and said.
Zhou Zhou opened the task panel: "We should have found the right one. The last ghost has appeared, and it's a substitute ghost."
What the hell is a substitute ghost?None of those present had even heard of it.
Zhou Zhou analyzed: "According to the literal meaning, it means that this ghost will catch the player as its scapegoat, or it will change into the player's appearance, and of course it may possess itself."
Either way is bad, the players who were surrounding the Buddha statue suddenly dispersed.
"It sounds pretty powerful, so how can I catch it?" Shirley asked.
Zhou Zhou shook his head: "I don't know either."
Seeing Zhou Zhou frowning and thinking hard, Alvia said, "I'll be the bait and see if I can lure the ghost out."
Zhou Zhou: "I'll go."
Others also volunteered to be the bait. After all, it was Zhou Zhou and Ai Er who had contributed before, and now it was their turn.
In the end, Keli was used as the bait. After all, he didn't catch a single ghost before, and he was unwilling to do so. Even Shirley caught several ghosts, and he was the only one in the team who didn't do anything.
Keli took a deep breath, and walked forward, and Shirley was not far behind him, ready to paste the talisman paper in her hand.
There is only one punch away from the Buddha statue, but Keli has no way to deal with the cold Buddha statue. How to attract ghosts, he can't punch him.
Keli thought, and stretched out his fist to lightly hammer the Buddha statue's face. After all, it was made of stone, and he was the one who hurt too much.
Originally thought that this method would not be effective, and Keli was just testing it out, but he did not expect that the Buddha statue started to tremble, and the whole temple began to vibrate slightly. The movement like an earthquake made everyone a little panicked.
The next moment, a cloud of white air floated from the Buddha's ears, and the cloud-like air mass rose into the air, ignoring Keli who was right in front of him, and rushed towards Zhou Zhou.
Alvia stretched out her hand to block it, but the mass of white air passed through his hand, rushed into Zhou Zhou's forehead and disappeared.
The sudden situation caught everyone by surprise, Shirley ran towards Zhou Zhou with a talisman in panic, thinking that if the ghost had entered Zhou Zhou's body, the talisman could drive it out, so she put the talisman on it.On Zhou Zhou's arm.
Zhou Zhou's slightly surprised expression froze instantly.
He was anchored.
