C9 Search for the spirit of the trail
"Maybe this medicine doesn't work on either of us? We can't stay like this. We have to go out and find a way out! I will find out whether it is the person or whatever it is that caused them to disappear. " Dongfang Zexuan wanted to carry the fat Wang Lei downstairs, but his weight was too much to compliment.
He had no choice but to carry Wan Fangfang to Wang Lei's room. Then, Dongfang Zexuan drew an array around the two of them to protect them.
Then, the two went outside to see if they could discover anything. "Look, the suspension bridge is broken!" Su Xiangran shouted out from the front. Dongfang Zexuan ran over to take a look. Sure enough, the suspension bridge had broken off some time ago. It seemed that the other party wanted to trap them to death here.
"Master!" "Yes, there is a sealed jar in the attic of the house!" Ye Ling appeared in time and said.
"Let's go!" Looks like there really was something fishy. Dongfang Jingyao immediately followed Night Spirit to the loft, and Su Xi followed closely behind.
Dongfang Jingyao had clearly come to the study before, but he hadn't found anything. After circling around the bookshelf, he realized that it was empty at the back. Furthermore, there was a small door that was not easily discovered.
Inside the door, there was a black jar with two crossed pieces of paper on it. The word "seal" was written on it.
However, the word "seal" had already been torn open, and the jar was already completely empty. I'm sorry master, I was already like this when I came. " Afraid that her master would be angry, Night Spirit quickly said.
Dongfang Jingyuan nodded. His spirit was no longer here. No wonder he didn't feel anything when he came here. But, how did this spirit escape?
What was the origin of this spirit? Was it sealed by the owner of the house? Or was it the owner of the house?
There were a lot of things that he couldn't figure out, so Dongfang Jingyao instructed Ye Ling to go into the forest and ask around, to see if there was any spirit that knew about the origins of this house.
He then rummaged through the study room, trying to find any clues related to this spirit. Unexpectedly, Su Xiangran spoke up. "About that, I'm slightly curious, is Ye Ling your attendant?"
"Hmm? You can see her? " Dongfang Jingyao was somewhat surprised. There weren't many people who could see Night Spirit. However, thinking back to the incident where she killed the evil wolf spirit in the forest, it wasn't strange for her to see the night spirit.
"I can see spirits, but I have never seen a spirit that follows the commands of humans. The spirit that you see is either unconscious or conscious, but filled with hatred for the human race. " Su Xi said this.
"So that's the case. Actually, as long as you sign a contract with Master, then you can use your spirit as a servant of a human. However, you actually know so many things about spirits, and on that day you were actually able to fight evenly with the evil wolf spirit.
"So it's like that …" Ah? I'm not. My grandfather used to care a lot about these things, and he used to tell me about them when I was young, so I got to know a little bit about them. " Su Chen spoke truthfully.
"Oh, I told you that there is no clan with the surname Su. However, you can see the spirit, this is also a natural ability. "It seems that you are very suitable for this profession." Dongfang Jingyao was quite satisfied with her. He wanted to pull her over to his side.
"Me? Forget it, I can only vaguely see it. The appearance of a spirit is not very clear, and I don't have that much time. " Su XiangRan rejected him with a single word.
Dongfang Jingyao didn't get angry. He only smiled, and then realized that after rummaging for a while, he hadn't found anything related to that spirit at all. It seemed like these books were just his owner's hobbies.
"However, this spirit seems to have a cautious nature. With the two of us' senses, we didn't even sense its existence once. From this, we can tell that it has hidden itself very well." Su XiangRan analyzed calmly.
"En, not only us, even the Night Spirit has not felt it. This shows how high its rank is, so you must not let your guard down."
As the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard the crisp sound of a gale. "Not good!" Dongfang JIu yelled out and rushed downstairs in a hurry.
However, it was already too late. The spirit formation that he had drawn had been destroyed, and the two men who were sleeping on the bed had disappeared.
Dongfang Zexuan couldn't help but frown. This spirit was really bold. He dared to openly commit a crime in front of him. Wasn't this provoking him?
From the looks of it, that spirit had been hiding within the house all along, observing their every move. Thus, it was able to take advantage of the time when Dongfang JingRan and Su Xi were on the third floor to attack the two people on the second floor.
But why had they never discovered it? Is it because the level of the spirit is too high? Or was there something they missed?
Also, why did the Spirit set up such a trap and spend so much effort to gather all of them here?
Is there something fishy about this? Dongfang Jingyao didn't even remember that he had been here before, much less having anything to do with the spirit.
"Do you know how these people are related to each other?" Or maybe they have a common enemy? " Dongfang Zexuan was unable to find any questions from his own body, so he started to ask Su Xiangran.
Su Xi was slightly puzzled by his question, but he quickly understood the formidable relationship behind it, so he started to ponder as well.
However, she only knew that they had won the lottery online and that they came from all over the world. They had never interacted with each other, let alone having a common enemy.
"Master, I've heard of it." Just as the two of them were at a loss as to where to go, Night Spirit appeared in the nick of time.
"How is it? Who is the spirit inside? " Dongfang Zexuan eagerly asked.
"I caught a few spirits wandering in the distance. According to them, this house has existed for hundreds of years, but one day, it suddenly became what it is now. Furthermore, they have never heard of the sealed spirits in this place, but only the appearance of a foreigner living in the past. "
"Why do I get more confused the more I listen? Since there was no sealed spirit, then what was the jar upstairs? And how did the house change overnight? " Su Chen was extremely curious.
"This is bad!" A bright light flashed within Dongfang Ju's mind, then he pulled Su Xiangran along as they swiftly descended from above and directly rushed out of the house.
Su Chen obviously didn't know what had happened, but when she turned around to look, she was shocked by the scene before her.
That was because the wooden house that was originally decorated was now just a dappled and sinister old house. It was obvious that no one had lived here for many years, so how could they be as beautiful as they were just now?
"Oh my god!" This couldn't be what it looked like, right? Then what did we just see? Was it an illusion? " Su Chen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
In fact, Dongfang Zexuan was also shocked by what he saw. Luckily, he reacted fast enough, otherwise, the two of them would never be able to get out.
"It's not an illusion. That new house is the real body of the spirit." Dongfang Jingyao explained.
"In other words... Are we always moving in its body? "Oh my god!" Su Xi let out a breath of cold air, and when he looked at his own body that was still alive, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"This evil spirit is probably wholeheartedly absorbing the essence energy of the three of them, which is why it is unable to split its mind and take care of the two of us. It seems like a big battle is unavoidable." Dongfang Jiexi looked at the dilapidated house and said.
"Then what should we do?" Su Xi wasn't afraid in the slightest. In any case, even if he couldn't win, he at least had the ability to protect himself. Moreover, didn't he still have a professional spirit catcher by his side?
"Now is a good chance to attack it. If it completely absorbs all the auras of the three of them, then we will be in big trouble. I will draw an array around the house, and the Night Spirit will go and attract its attention!" You just have to protect yourself here. "
Dongfang Jingyao immediately began to arrange for the road ahead. Unexpectedly, Su Xi had said that he wanted to help as well, and Dongfang Ju pondered for a moment before nodding. "I must do my best. Protecting myself is the most important!"
"En, I understand!" Su Xi quickly agreed. He then nodded to Ye Ling and took out the small knife from his bosom, then he muttered something to himself. In the next second, Dongfang Jingyao noticed that Su Xiangran's gaze had changed, and his entire person had become completely different from before.
That pair of eyes exuded coldness and firmness was exactly the same look Dongfang Zexuan had seen in the distance. It seemed like the incantation she had just chanted had solidified her mind.
That was true. In a duel with a spirit, if one wasn't mentally mature and firm, it was very likely that one would be used by the spirit and fall into its trap.
Seeing her this way, Dongfang Jingyao relaxed. He memorized the structure of the house and made a complicated mark. Then, he started to mumble as he drew in the air with a 'shua shua' sound. Difficult to understand, however, soon after, complicated patterns started to appear on the ground.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling and Su Xi Ran flew up to the attic. With a wave of their hands, Ye Ling sent out a long white slip of paper that surrounded the entire house, then tightly wrapped them in all four directions.
Su Xi Ran held a blade in her hand and calmly waited. She was waiting for the evil spirit to make a move before stabbing it down.
Her grandfather gave her this knife, he made it for her. He had the ability to make her go crazy and take away her consciousness. That was the reason why the wolf spirit was so crazy that day.
Dongfang Zexuan's hands were moving at a uniform speed and his breathing was tight. In just a few seconds, he had drawn half of the array. Because the time was short and the level of the evil spirit was too high, Dongfang Jiexi thought to hurry up and draw one that controlled the movements of the evil spirit. Then, if time allowed, he would draw another one that was more difficult.
It was unknown if it was because the evil spirit had finished absorbing the auras of those three people, or because it had felt the note wrapped around its body. In any case, just as Dongfang Jingyao finished drawing the first array formation, the evil spirit suddenly flared up.
