The Exorcist

Chapter 13 Is it a dream?

There were no monsters or ghosts jumping out. The magnetic jar was filled with a black liquid like crude oil. As the magnetic altar shattered, the black liquid quickly drained away. Because there were sacks all around, it was hard to see in the dim light whether it had seeped under the bamboo floor.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement. Wan Li breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled: "You two scared me, I thought there was something scary!"

Xiaoxia was still in a state of shock. Seeing his childish look with his head tilted and smiling, she suddenly felt her whole heart soften. Just as she was about to say something, she lowered her head and saw a stream of black liquid flowing out from under the sack. It was exactly The contents of the jar did not leak along the gaps in the sparse bamboo floor, but flowed towards them!

Snaking, like a black snake, it quietly and sneakily crawled to Wanli's feet, and Wanli was still barefoot!

"Be careful!" Xiaoxia almost screamed, subconsciously feeling inexplicably frightened, like the panic and uneasiness of losing something important.

She still held the bloodwood sword in her hand, but she was a few steps away from Wanli. She had no time to pull him over, so she instinctively threw the bloodwood sword towards the black liquid that was about to approach Wanli's toes.

The moment the black water touched Wanli's toes, the Blood Wood Sword fell to the ground with a 'pop' sound. However, because one side was covered with sacks scattered on the ground, only the tip of the sword touched the ground, and most of the sword body rested on it. On a side pocket.

But the tip of the sword landed just in front of Heishui, not only blocking its sneak attack, but Wanli also subconsciously jumped a step back with an 'ah' sound, temporarily dodging it.

With a hissing sound, the black water split into two as if it were alive. It twisted and spread out painfully as if it had been severely injured. It turned from a thick black snake into two small bends, although the flow rate dropped sharply. , but still crawled towards Wanli's feet without giving up, and very quickly. Before Wanli realized it, one of them got under the sole of his foot, and another one shot towards Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia concentrated all her energy on Wan Li and looked at his feet in shock. She didn't even see that another wave of black water was about to attack her. When she realized it, it was already too late to hide.

Am I going to die?

Such thoughts flashed through her mind, but she felt her waist tighten and be thrown onto the piles of sacks by an external force. Then she saw a ball of fire mark directly pressing on the black water, making the black water look like a ball of extreme heat. It twisted and coiled like tiny snakes, and then turned into a foul-smelling gas and dissipated in the air!

"How are you?" Ruan Zhan supported Wan Li, who was shaking a little.

Wan Li still held the lighter high in his hand, but his expression was dark and uncertain in the firelight. He smiled weakly, "It seems I fell into a trap again. This time you have something to say!"

"What's the meaning?"

"It means I might have to take a break!" After saying that, the lighter in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

In the moment before the light disappeared, Xiaoxia saw Wan Li fall backward, but Ruan Zhan hugged him behind him.

"Wanli!" Xiaoxia shouted, trying to jump off the sack.

But Ruan Zhan in the darkness hurriedly stopped her, "Stay there and don't move! Wait for me!"

As he spoke, he carried Wan Li to the dining hall and placed him gently on the ground. Then he came in and carried Xiao Xia out without letting her feet fall to the ground. He then quickly applied a few hand seals to evaporate the last remaining black liquid. After falling, he hurriedly returned to the other two people.

In the dining hall, Xiaoxia was stroking Wanli's face at a loss, trying to wake him up, but Wanli was motionless, and even breathing was extremely weak, as if he might die at any time.

"Listen, Xiaoxia." He held Xiaoxia's chin with one hand, asking her to focus on his words, "Wanli may have been poisoned, and we must find the person who planted the poison. I want you to stay here. Keep him alone!"

When Xiaoxia heard that he was leaving, she felt panicked, but knowing that this was not the time for her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, she immediately strengthened her weak heart.

"I can count on you, right?"

"absolutely okay."

"You have to know that it won't be peaceful here, so be careful and don't let anything happen."

"I will wait for you to come back!" Xiaoxia gritted her teeth and said.

Looking at her face that was fragile but forced himself to be strong, Ruan Zhan couldn't bear it, but he had to leave and let her face the uncertain things in the dark night alone.

When he was in the kitchen, he heard Xiaoxia's screams and meows. He felt something was wrong at that time, and just as he was about to leave to take a look, he was tangled in weeds under his feet. He originally thought it was just firewood for burning, but he didn't expect that the grass seemed to be alive, entangled him so much that he couldn't leave, and dragged his legs.

This grass was controlled, and although its power was weak, it was extremely difficult to get rid of. This also resulted in a step too late and failed to stop Wanli.

He didn't understand Gu magic and could only judge by feeling. He didn't know whether the fire hand seal he refined could subdue the weird black liquid. At that time, he just tried it out of desperation. And unintentionally, he saw a movement in the trees behind the wild store from the window. Although he only saw a blurry figure, he felt that the person must have been there for a long time. After he noticed it, he ran to it in a panic. Went up the left fork.

The person who is sneaking around at this time may be a witness even if he is not the one who cast the poison. Although there are many ways to remove the poison, the black water seems to be too dangerous and weird, and it is obviously here to deal with them. Even a person as tough as Wan Li was brought down. It must not be a simple poison. Therefore, he must chase that person, otherwise everything will be in danger!

In other words, there is no chance at all!

He had no time to waste, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch up with that person!

Anxiously, he looked around, quickly opened a bamboo table next to the door, scratched his fingers and drew a most protective spell on the wall, dragged Wan Li there and placed it, and then placed two of them side by side. The table blocked him.

He called Xiaoxia over and lightly scratched her eyelids with his bloody fingers.

"This will make you see things you shouldn't see. You may be scared, but you can see the road clearly!" He drew her forehead again, "This will prevent you from being discovered. Wanli also has one on his forehead."

"I'm not afraid, I'm not a burden to you, I'm also a partner!"

"I know, I know." For a moment, he wanted to hug her, but he didn't have time. "If you can't hide it anymore, if you touch this talisman with the bloodwood sword, a hole will break in the wall. I'm afraid Wanli can't help you. You have to try your best to protect him! If-"

He was extremely worried. Although there was no bad smell in the store now, he didn't know what would happen when he left! This choice made it difficult for him to let go of any part of his heart.

"No ifs, I will stick to him and wait for you to come back. Stop talking and leave!"

Xiaoxia said and got under the table, put her arms around Wanli's neck, and put his head on her shoulder to make him feel more comfortable. She never looked at Ruan Zhan again to show her determination with her actions. .

In fact, she really wanted to take a look at Ruan Zhan, but she was afraid that once she saw him, she would become weak again. She is no longer a child and knows how dangerous the situation is! Thousands of miles of life may only be separated by this second.

Ruan Zhan gritted his teeth, drew something in the air, and then stepped out without looking back. When he stepped down, he had already reached the fork in the road.

He had to be quick, not only to regain Wan Li's life, but also Xiao Xia's life might be within a hair's breadth!

Muffled thunder began to roll in the sky, and not-so-bright lightning flashed over the jungle, as if it was shuttling around him, just chasing him, forcing him, and telling him one word - hurry up.

He ran forward, trying his best to look at everything around him and feel the breath, but there was nothing! After running for a while, it started to rain, and he was going crazy with anxiety!

Thousands of miles! Xiaoxia! You must hold on and wait for him to come back! He thought to himself, but his eyes were still searching everywhere!

Suddenly, a bright bolt of lightning struck in the air, and a dozen seconds later an earth-shattering thunder suddenly exploded overhead with the roar of thunder. An old tree was unfortunately killed.

As the old tree was split in two from the middle, a scream came from behind the tree, and then the grass behind it began to sway, and a figure passed through the middle.

Ruan Zhan raised his feet and chased after him. He stumbled on something behind a tree. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a shoe. It was an embroidered shoe. It was very old and worn out, but it could be seen that the upper surface was covered with embroidered flowers.

It's a flower shoe.

He didn't hesitate and chased deep into the woods!

At the same time, Xiaoxia spent her time in panic.

It is one thing to be mentally prepared, and it is also good to have firm confidence, but it will not be less when it is time to be afraid.

Fortunately, Wanli was by her side. Although he was unconscious, she still felt that he was accompanying her and she was not alone.

At this time, it started to rain again, and waves of mountain wind flapped at the bamboo door, as if something was trying to squeeze in. It was pitch black all around, but she could see clearly because Ruan Zhan drew a blood talisman on her eyelids.

Squeak——

Footsteps sounded on the stairs. From under the table, Xiaoxia could only see a pair of feet floating down. There was no stepping on the ground or any stepping movements, but the footsteps were just like normal people, one step at a time, and then another pair of feet. Then there was a third pair, both barefoot and wearing ordinary black cloth shoes.

"Ah Bian, Ami, why haven't the guests arrived yet?" A girl's voice sounded.

Xiaoxia immediately recognized the young girl who wouldn't let her sleep on the bed! But wasn’t everything just a dream? If she exists, then the other two must be her parents, so isn't this a shop run by a ghost?

It turns out that they actually entered a ghost shop! But Ruan Zhan is so capable, why didn't he notice it at all?

She hugged Wanli tightly, fearing that he would be discovered. Although Ruan Zhan drew an invisibility charm for them, and Wan Li was reclining, he was too tall and his legs were stretched out. If the three ghosts found that the table had moved and floated over to move it, they would not be able to step on it. He will be stepped on, but his feet will definitely be kicked! Then they will find out!

Something was wrong with the bloodwood sword. It was clearly in her hand, but for some reason it didn't emit the beautiful red light it would emit when encountering evil!

"The coir raincoat is busy driving away ghosts!" the woman who had never spoken before said.

After saying this, the three ghosts suddenly fell silent and stood side by side less than two feet away from Xiaoxia, as if waiting for some guests to arrive!

Raincoat? Isn't he that weird guy whose face can't be seen clearly in the dream?
