Chapter 7: The Evil Has Been Provoked

  Is it related to this? Wen Fei thought, and simply put all the household items on the bed, sat down cross-legged, and the jade pendant was still hanging around his neck. Slowly counting his breaths, dispelling distractions, he wanted to reach a state of tranquility. Who knew that the jade pendant suddenly emitted a weak stream of heat, this force was extremely small, if not in this state, it would be difficult to detect even.

  Wen Fei was suddenly shocked and grabbed all the big and small household items. Fortunately, the supermarket was considerate enough to use a large enough bag to pack them up. As soon as Wen Fei's hand touched the bag, there was a ripple in the air.

  This time I really crossed over again, Wen Fei felt at ease. The only problem is that it's already nighttime now, after crossing over, in front of me is a vast darkness, can't even see my fingers when stretching out my hand.

  "What's going on?" Wen Fei was stunned for a moment before he saw the stars and moon faintly appearing at the edge of the sky: "Could it be midnight now?"

  He calculated the time and suddenly came to his senses. The first time he crossed over, it was at night. But when he arrived in this world, it was daytime, and after wasting a few hours, by the time he returned home, the sky had already brightened up.

  This time he crossed over again, the time should be noon. So it's possible that this world is midnight now. Thinking of this, Wen Fei had a headache. This wild night in the countryside was very different from the city nights, with cool wind and heavy dew, the temperature was more than ten degrees lower than in the city. Although Wen Fei wore a Taoist robe, he couldn't bear it on such a night.

  "Grandma's, next time I'll come over at midnight with a tent and sleeping bag... Come to think of it, if I had known it was midnight, what would I have done?" Wen Fei muttered to himself.

  It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your fingers when you stretched out your hand. Wen Fei walked a few steps with one foot deep and the other shallow, stumbling along, when suddenly it brightened up ahead as if a distant light had appeared.

  Wen Fei was suddenly delighted and walked a few steps in the direction of the light, but found that the light was flickering and uncertain, and the color seemed to be off.

  Damn, Wen Fei cursed and called it a bad omen. What's with the lights again? It's clearly phosphorescence, also known as ghost fire. According to the textbook, it's the decomposition of human and animal corpses releasing phosphine, which spontaneously ignites. The white and blue flames seen at night in the wilderness are indeed phosphorescence.

  Wen Fei himself as a mystic, naturally had mixed feelings about this interpretation.

  "This can't be the Donkey-Horse Congregation, right?" Wen Fei thought to himself. The Donkey-Horse Congregation was a desolate place, but at least it had some dilapidated houses and people would occasionally gather there. It wouldn't have something like phosphorescent fire. That kind of thing should be found in the wilderness or among piles of ancient tombs.

  He secretly lamented in his heart, when suddenly he heard the sound of "Wah wah wah wah......", which sounded like a dog barking, but also seemed somewhat low and muffled.

  Isn't there a dog in this place? It can't be a stray dog, can it? A couple of years ago, tomb raiding was particularly popular. One of Wen Fei's friends was obsessed with it and even called himself the "Tomb Raider Tribe". With nothing better to do, Wen Fei had read a few books on the subject, and now he couldn't help but think of those wild dogs that were said to eat human flesh in the graves.

  Wen Fei's legs cramped a bit, and if he was really bitten by this dog, what would happen? What about rabies vaccine, tetanus shots and all those preventive injections, who knows if they'd be effective?

  Fortunately, after the dog barked twice, there was no more sound. Wen Fei slightly put down his heart, and in the dark night, he turned around a few times, only to hear strange sounds coming from beside him. His feet were tangled, as if walking in the wilderness, the ground was uneven and thorny with weeds.

  Wen flew more and more empty-hearted, didn't dare to walk randomly, afraid that in the end he would lose his way in the wilderness.

  Damn thing, Wen Fei's foot kicked up a hard and dry thing from under his feet. It seemed to be withered and dry firewood. With just one kick, it shattered into pieces. When it came into contact with the air, it suddenly burst into a pale green flame.

  "What thing?" Wen Fei's hairs on the back of his neck suddenly all stood up, and he saw that the gloomy green firelight was slowly gathering together, forming a ball.

  "It seems to be phosphorus fire!" Then, the dim green flame, Wen Fei saw that what he had kicked away with one foot was not a withered branch, but a withered leg bone. Looking at it, it seemed to be from a human body...

  "It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just a bone, maybe that dog brought it out earlier!" Wen Fei encouraged himself.

  Who knew that being quiet was good for me, but as soon as I spoke up, things changed. It seemed like countless balls of ghostly fire rose up from all directions.

  "What the... This is crazy! How many people have to die before we see this many ghost fires?" Wen Fei's voice was starting to shake.

  But then, in the ghostly fire, there were vague and indistinct shadows, as if many people had surrounded them from all sides. Those shadowy figures couldn't be seen clearly, they seemed to have disheveled hair and tattered clothes, as if they had just crawled out of the ground.

  Wen Fei was thoroughly uncalm this time, he yanked off the protective amulet from his neck and grasped it in his hand: "This is after all a protective amulet I begged for at the Taoist temple, Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, Zhenwu Dadi protect me!"

  But the ghosts from all sides didn't seem to care about the amulet at all. Wen Fei threw it over, but it had no effect: "Damn, I knew this was a fake. Those Taoist priests are completely unreliable, I should have gone to Wudang Mountain instead..."

  "The Great Way is shapeless, giving birth to heaven and earth; the Great Way is emotionless, running through the sun and moon; the Great Way is nameless, nourishing all things; I do not know its name, forcing a name, it is called the Way. The Way: has clarity and murkiness, has movement and stillness...". Fortunately, Wen Fei was also half a cultivator, encountering this situation, he simply began to recite the Qingjing Jing (Scripture of Clarity and Stillness).

  At first, the voice was still a bit shaky, but as I slowly recited, my heart actually calmed down. Indeed, those ghostly shadows seemed to be afraid and didn't dare to approach, only wandering around in the distance.

  Wen Fei let out a slight sigh of relief, but behind him, he heard a sly laugh. The voice was extremely abrupt and seemed to be ringing in his own ears. Wen Fei didn't dare turn around, and with a backhand, he chopped towards the rear.

  Humans have three flames on their bodies, which are extremely masculine. Generally, evil spirits and ghosts do not dare to approach them. It's like when Wen Fei's yin soul escapes, they don't dare get close to a living person's body, especially young adults, it's as if there's a fire burning. If you hastily turn your head back, the yang flame on your body will often be extinguished in the midst of fright, making it easy to be possessed. Wen Fei has practiced martial arts for many years, and his palm strike is extremely fierce, stirring up a gust of wind.
