Volume 1 Chapter 56 Unexpected News

  But my shouting seemed to have no effect, Ou Yang's expression was very solemn, a helpless look, at that time I was so anxious that I broke out in cold sweat. I really wanted to scold him, saying that he couldn't exert himself at the critical moment.

  In desperation, I had to take out the ancient bronze sword to save Xiao Rou. I rushed towards the ghost's chain and chopped at it, unable to delay any further. If I was even a step late, Xiao Rou would be in grave danger. As my sword chopped down, the ghost with long fingernails was directly struck on the head, and a dark energy burst out. At that moment, a wave of nausea washed over me, and I held my breath, hastily chasing after the iron chain ghost once again. Now, I was excited, casting aside my fear. Just then, all the ghosts gathered together, surrounding us in an impenetrable circle.

  At that time, I "pu..." spat it out, because these ghosts were not just souls, they had a stinky and nauseating smell on their bodies, plus the previous one, making people unbearable. Xiao Rou was dragged by the iron chain ghost to the direction of the door at this time. Looking at her painful expression, she seemed to be suffocated!

  I continued to hold my breath and ran towards the door, but as soon as I took a step, my feet were caught again by two hands. I continued to swing the ancient bronze sword, but this time it was much slower than before, not only in speed but also in accuracy.

  My anxiety is killing me, I can't just watch as Xiao Rou gets hurt, I want to rush up. But at this moment, the group of ghosts once again surrounded me with their sharp teeth and claws.

  "Ouyang Jiu, what are you doing? Hurry up and save people!" I shouted loudly, but now I couldn't even see where he was. All I saw was a group of dark ghosts swaying around me.

  The voice was shouted out, but there was no response. At this time, my ancient bronze sword also fell to the ground in the scratching of these ghosts! Although the attack power of these ghosts is not particularly strong, they will produce a kind of oppressive force after surrounding me, which makes me breathless.

  At this time, the wind outside had picked up again, quite fiercely, and stones were being blown around. I couldn't see Xiao Rou anywhere, and Ou Yang Ju was also nowhere to be found. At that moment, I felt a surge of blood rush to my head! However, those ghosts were only surrounding me, without any intention of attacking me. But what's strange is that the more they did this, the more my head felt like it was swelling up, much bigger than before. It seemed like there were many people talking around me, but I had no idea what they were saying.

  My consciousness has become completely blurred, but I am clear in my heart that I must have been disturbed by these thirty-six ghosts. As their voices grew louder and more boisterous, I could no longer bear it and collapsed to the ground, feeling as if heaven and earth were spinning around me.

  I thought I was done for this time, but at this moment these ghosts and monsters actually started running from beside me towards the outside.

  And I vaguely heard the sound of "Ding, ding, ding!" "Ding, ding, ding!" from the wind chimes. I pressed my hands against my temples and tried to slowly get up. At this moment, the room was completely different from before, empty and desolate, with nothing left. There wasn't a single person, not even a ghost. Even the corpse of the witch had disappeared...

  Although I stood up, I felt that my head was particularly heavy. It's like there are hundreds of kilograms of steel on top of my head!

  At the critical moment, the bell rang, and I thought this person was probably Ji Quan Daoist. I imagined it must be him, but when I turned my gaze to the courtyard, I found that the person was not Ji Quan, but a person wearing a veil. Although there was a great distance between us, I recognized him at once - it was Tang Bing Xue.

  I shook my head vigorously to clear it. "Tang Yuxue, is that you? I'm over here."

  She glanced at me and then ran out of the yard with a ringing bell. I immediately chased after her, but she disappeared without a trace, as if she had never appeared before. And in the yard that was just boiling over, nothing could be seen anymore.

  Without much imagination, I directly ran into the house and took out the ancient bronze sword, preparing to start searching around the village. As soon as I walked into the house, I was caught by someone grabbing my shoulder. Just as I was about to shout loudly, a hand covered my mouth, and at this moment, I felt a gentle fragrance emanating from it. I opened my eyes wide and took a look, and surprisingly, it was Tang Bingxue.

  She took off her veil and said to me: "Shh! Don't speak."

  "Tang Yuxue, it's really you." I got a bit excited, "But just now I saw you running out, how did you get back into the house?"

  Tang Bingxue took out two talismans and lit them up, at this time the room was brighter than before. She handed me a mirror and said: "Take a look at yourself."

  I picked up the mirror and took a look at my face, and I was so shocked that I threw down the mirror. Because I saw my head, which is several times bigger than before. Like a monster!

  "What's going on?" I stared at Tang Bingxue in shock.

  Tang Bingxue looked around and said to me, "You should ask yourself that. What have you been doing before this? How did you accumulate so much resentment that it's bursting out of your head?"

  "I just recited the Great Compassion Mantra, and I saw many ghosts. They were just swirling around me without harming me." I replied.

  Tang Bing Xue pinched my arm hard and stared at me with wide eyes, saying: "You idiot, you recited the Great Compassion Mantra in front of so many ghosts, are you crazy? The Great Compassion Mantra is a Buddhist mantra used to help the dead cross over. After reciting this mantra, it can summon ghosts! Just now, all those ghosts came because of your Great Compassion Mantra."

  "Ah?" I was stunned at that moment and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, saying: "I don't know, someone else asked me to recite it."

  While speaking, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, just as Tang Bingxue said. It was me who wronged Xiao Rou!

  "Never mind, this can't be blamed on you, but who exactly made you recite it, you must have a number in your heart, this is absolutely not a good person."

  Tang Bingxue looked very helpless and wanted to hit me, I just wanted to speak, she covered my mouth and said: "I understand the general situation here, you don't need to say anything. Be careful not to let the person who made you recite the Great Compassion Mantra know, but you can't reveal it yet. Use your intelligence to deal with him first, otherwise, you won't survive either. As for Xiaorou and Wupo, you don't need to worry about them, my master Jiuchuan Daoist has also arrived. This matter will be handled by us, you must remain calm, don't be too impulsive, and give us enough time."

  "Tang Bingxue, but you have to tell me what's going on! And what about Xiaorou? Is she going to be okay? And also, Witch Grandma, can she still come back to life?"

  Although I believe in Tang Bingxue, but I was too impatient. Originally could ask several questions, I asked them all at once.

  "You're still so naive, what's going on, time will tell you. I don't know if Xiaoyu will be okay or not, but my master, Jiuquan Daoist, has arrived. I think he has a 90% chance of saving him. As for resurrection, forget it, that's an impossible task."

  "What... I..." Actually, I wanted to say, how did I come back to life? But I didn't get it out!

  Tang Yuxue pulled out a talisman from her body and stuck it on my forehead, then punched me in the face. The punch was quite powerful, but I didn't feel any pain. Tang Yuxue said to me while punching: "I'm helping you recover your brain now. These 36 ghosts are nothing individually, but when they gather together, they're extremely terrifying. I have to help my master with this."

  After saying that, Tang Yuxue started to turn around and leave, not even waiting for me to speak. I directly grabbed her arm, but she still managed to break free. She quickly disappeared before my eyes, at that time I was truly as helpless as can be. Is it necessary to do it like this? Every time is so urgent, every conversation is left unfinished, even the country's president doesn't have such busy business.

  Another time, I stared blankly as she disappeared in front of me. I picked up the mirror on the ground and took a look. At this moment, my face had recovered from before, but there was an extra black spot on my forehead. It should be the legendary "Yintang" darkening? I picked up the ancient bronze sword on the ground and stared blankly at the empty room, not knowing what to do next.

  "Are you okay?"

  Just then, I heard Ou Yang's voice. At that moment, I was furious and grabbed the ancient bronze sword to find him and kill him directly. But then I remembered what Tang Bing Xue said to me, so I turned back to see where he was.

  With the help of Tang Bingxue's candle, I saw Ouyang Ju, his hair was a bit messy. The suit on him was already dirty, and one of the leather shoes on his feet was missing. He looked particularly disheveled!

  "I'm fine, where's Grandma Wu and Xiao Rou?"

  I wanted to get angry in my heart, but for the sake of the overall situation, I still decided to remain calm and composed.

  Ouyang Ju shook his head and said to me, "I don't know, just now I was torn apart by those ghosts to one side, after that I didn't know anything. But you, how did your head change back to normal?"

  "What should my head look like otherwise?" I stared at him and asked.

  He was taken aback at first and said to me: "At the beginning, I thought your head was a bit big."

  If he hadn't said that, I would have still had some doubts and thought that Tang Bingxue might be a good person who was misjudged. Now it seems that this guy is not a good person at all. He clearly said that he was dragged to one side by those ghosts, but he actually knew that my head had grown bigger.

  "I don't know either." I said coldly.

  Ouyang nodded at this time: "That's good, but brother, don't blame me, I really only know how to talk on paper and have no actual combat experience, nor do I know any spells."

  Whenever I think of him making me recite the Great Compassion Mantra, I get angry and really want to rush up and slap him a few loud slaps. He not only deceived Xiao Rou into teaching me the Great Compassion Mantra but also harmed us. This is not an ordinary harm, it's absolutely a huge conspiracy.
