C18 Soulless nail
"Old Xu!"
Li Jing shouted loudly and rushed out of the Eight Trigram Formation towards Old Xu. With this, the ghosts actually rushed away. They pulled Old Xu and ran into the Eight Trigrams Formation.
Old Xu was over fifty years old and weighed around one hundred and eighty catties. How could he keep up with Li Jing's speed? Just as he was about to reach the side of the formation, a dog began nibbling on sh * t.
This fall of his did not matter, as half of the yellow flag had been overpowered by him.
Li Jing and Glasses-man shouted at the same time, "Not good!"
Now that they had lost the protection of the Eight Trigram Formation, they were completely in front of the ghosts. The stall owner took the lead to charge forward and surround them.
Seeing the ghosts slowly approach him, Li Jingxin's throat tightened. He clenched his fists against the wall, ready to fight to the death.
The bespectacled man's expression also turned serious as he stared at his surroundings with increasingly heavy breaths.
Old Xu could only get up from the ground, gritting his teeth as he patted the dirt off his body and grumbled, "Why are you suddenly running away!?"
Old Xu was a mortal, but he did not open his Heaven's Eyes. He looked at the two of them with deep love and curiosity, "Why are you two so nervous?"
At this moment, the ghosts had already rushed over. Li Jing had no time to pay attention to Old Xu. He hastily bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood on the ghosts in front of him.
Li Jing had read about this ghost in the books. It belonged to the yin and was afraid of being positive. The tip of the tongue was the place with the most Yang energy in the body, where the blood could drive out ghosts. However, this method would cause the user's vitality to be greatly damaged. Unless it was a last resort, he would use this method cautiously.
Li Jing had to force himself to be anxious to think of this method. As expected, this move worked, the ghosts in front of him cried out in pain, and green smoke came out from their bodies and fell to the ground. The other ghosts seemed to be afraid that Li Jing would vomit blood on them, so they stopped and didn't dare to move forward.
The booth owner seemed to have the intention of charging upwards. Li Jing glared at him and pointed at his mouth. The booth owner retreated a few steps back with a blue light in his eyes.
Li Jing was elated. He didn't expect these ghosts to be so easy to deal with. If he had known earlier, he would have spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and dealt with them.
Seeing that the ghosts were about to disperse and leave, a loud roar suddenly came from somewhere and stirred the ghosts. They once again surrounded Li Jing. At the same time, more ghosts appeared out of nowhere. There seemed to be dozens of them.
Li Jing began to feel that something was wrong, and the long whistle sounded again. Following the sound, the ghosts charged towards Li Jing.
Li Jing immediately spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Compared to Li Jing's blood, the group of ghosts seemed to be more afraid of the source of the sound. No matter how many ghosts fell, countless ghosts would pounce on them.
Facing Ghost Sea's tactics, Li Jing felt his tongue go numb even after spitting out blood a few times. He gradually couldn't hold on any longer. If he continued to bite, his tongue would probably rot.
At that critical moment, the bespectacled man suddenly appeared from behind Li Jing and punched a ghost in front of him.
The ghost screamed as its expression became extremely painful. Then, it howled towards the sky and turned into a few wisps of green smoke before disappearing.
He saw a two inch long wooden nail on his fist. It was obvious that the eye attack just now was not on the same level as Li Jing's. Those ghosts seemed to be more afraid of the nail in the glasses. No matter how long they let out, they wouldn't take a step forward.
Li Jing also got a chance to breathe. He squatted on the ground and kept breathing heavily, "What's that in your hand? "That powerful?"
"Soul Losing Nail." He took out another one from his chest and threw it at Li Jing.
Li Jing weighed the nail in his hand. The nail was three inches long and square. Li Jing recognized this nail as it was a nail used to nail a dead man's coffin. However, strange patterns were drawn all around the wooden nails. Li Jing didn't understand, but they were most likely some kind of talismans to drive out ghosts.
Li Jing cursed in his heart. If I had such a good thing, I would have spat out so much blood already!
However, with these wooden nails, it was like having a weapon that could directly contend against these ghosts. Li Jing felt more confident.
Plus, the ghosts seemed to be very afraid of this nail, so Li Jing simply picked it up and charged in.
These ghosts didn't seem to be much of a threat when they reached out their hands. The moment the nails pierced them, they turned into green smoke. Li Jing charged left and right, creating a path for himself.
Glasses followed behind them to block the ghosts that occasionally tried to sneak attack them, only Old Xu didn't know what was going on. Looking at the two of them waving their nails in the air, he shouted anxiously, "Little Li, what's wrong with you, have you been possessed!"
Seeing the road ahead clear up, Li Jing revealed a happy expression, but his glasses splashed a bucket of cold water: "Don't be happy too early, there's still a ghost in this alley. He's the one who did this to the wall, we can't leave here without destroying him."
"There's another ghost?"
Li Jing was stunned. Indeed, it was as if the ghosts had heard the order just now. Could it be that there was another ghost hiding somewhere controlling everything?
Li Jing quickly looked around. However, there were only a few solitary street lamps emitting faint rays of light. Most of the place was dark. Wanting to find a ghost here was easier said than done. Plus, there were still ghosts hounding him from time to time. Although it couldn't cause any harm to Li Jing, it made it difficult for him to concentrate.
"Over there!" Glasses pointed at the eaves not far away.
Li Jing looked towards the source of the voice and saw something dark under the eaves.
"These four glasses are really good!"
Li Jing praised him in a mocking manner. At the same time, he threw the wooden nail in his hand towards the black object.
The thing seemed to know that Li Jing had discovered it as it quickly ran back along the wall, but the nail still nailed itself onto his leg.
The black object let out a strange cry, but it did not turn into green smoke. Instead, it quickly disappeared into the distance. With his disappearance, the other little ghosts seemed to have lost their backbone as they scattered in all directions. The stall owner also hurriedly ran towards the depths of the alleyway. How could Li Jing let him leave? He quickly jumped up and blocked the stall owner's path.
The stall owner looked at the wooden nail in Li Jing's hand and immediately turned around. He wanted to escape in another direction, but his glasses had also rushed to block Li Jing's way.
Li Jing raised the nail and wanted to nail the damnable stall owner to death, but his glasses took the lead. He took out a cloth bag from nowhere and placed it on the stall owner's head.
There was a strange seal drawn on the cloth bag. The eyeglasses man used his hands to draw a few lines of light on the cloth bag. At first, the stall owner was still struggling, but as the seal emitted light, the stall owner was sucked into the bag.
Li Jing was still standing on the spot, holding the nail in his hand. He was obviously not in a good mood, "What are you doing? Why didn't you kill him?!"
Glasses glanced at Li Jing with disdain as he coldly said, "It's naturally useful for me to keep him."
After that, he ignored Li Jing and turned to look at Old Xu.
Old Xu was a superstitious person from the start, so he wasn't stupid. From the looks of it, they had pretty much guessed the truth. Now, they were completely dumbfounded.
Glasses walked in front of Old Xu, but he did not say anything unnecessary. Old Xu immediately fainted. Li Jing panicked and grabbed his glasses.
"What are you going to do to him!"
Glasses pushed Li Jing's hand away, his expression still as cold as before: "You also don't want the events that happened last night to spread out, right?"
As he finished speaking, he took out an incense stick and lit it in front of Old Xu. He chanted a few chants and then turned his head towards Li Jing, "Follow me, my master wants to see you."
Li Jing was so angry that his teeth itched. He wanted to give his glasses a good beating, but he was also curious about the identity of this person and the identity of his master. He cursed in his heart as he followed behind Glasses.
After walking out of the alleyway, the sky lit up with white light. The people who were doing morning training also appeared on the street in groups of three to five. Li Jing got into a taxi and drove slowly towards the suburbs under the direction of his glasses.
The two of them didn't say anything along the way. Glasses was sitting in front of them with his head down as if he was thinking about something. Li Jing narrowed his eyes and rested.
The taxi gradually moved away from the main road into the mountain village road. Li Jing knew that this place was called Su Jia Village.
This place had already distanced itself from the urban areas. It was truly worthy of being called a rural area. The taxi swayed several times on the mountain path, and Li Jing almost fell asleep.
Finally, the taxi stopped in front of a small bungalow. Just as he got off the taxi, Li Jing heard the sound of a Beijing opera coming from inside the house. From the looks of it, the house was in ruins.
Li Jing walked into the house with his glasses on as he thought about how he would still be in the mood to listen to Beijing opera even though he was so poor.
The bungalow was not much better than the one outside. There was a dusty dining table and a few chairs with paint on them. There were no other furniture.
Further in, an old man was sitting on a kang, shaking his head as he listened to the Beijing opera in the electric box.
Seeing the old man, Li Jing couldn't help but be shocked. This person was precisely Old Copper Coin.
