Chapter Ten: The Evil Daoist

  In the past twenty-odd years, I was just an ordinary person, extremely ordinary, with memories in my mind that had nothing to do with anything except reading and studying. The most mysterious event I had ever seen was a magic show by a rural acrobatic troupe. Even though I met many strange people in these three days, they were still within the category of humans. Now that I've seen the legendary "ghost", I suddenly feel my legs cramping up and can't even walk.

  "What's wrong with you, retreat!" Seeing me standing there with my mouth agape, Lan sister came over and slapped the back of my head before pulling me back a few steps.

  "Brother, take action" pulled me away from the distance. Lan sister called out to Ning brother, who nodded and quickly ejected the magazine from his gun, then replaced it with a new one.

  "Bang, bang, bang!" Ning Ge fired three shots at the suspicious place, but unfortunately, none of them hit those ghosts. However, it was enough to drive them away and they didn't dare to approach for the time being.

  "Red lead bullet!" Tian Hua's wife exclaimed when she saw the bullets Ning Ge had exchanged.

  Cinnabar, isn't this the magic weapon for exorcising ghosts in movies? After hearing what Tiān Huā Pó Po said, I was stunned too. No wonder those two weren't afraid - it turns out they had a trick up their sleeve! But if they can't see it, it's all for nothing!

  "Ding ding ding" Those two ghosts were also afraid of the power of cinnabar and didn't dare to come forward, but at this time, a ringing sound came from their ears. The two ghosts shivered when they heard it, but they became red-eyed, and the aura on their bodies became somewhat manic.

  "If I still don't understand that someone is controlling them, then I'm an idiot. Hmph, if Ning Ge and the others can't see it, how could I not see it? 'Ning Ge, one in each of the northeast and northwest directions, hurry up and take action!'" I suddenly shouted.

  Bang, bang! Ning Ge didn't hesitate at all. As soon as my voice fell, two shots had been fired, both hitting their targets. The two ghosts were hit by the red phosphorus bullets and immediately rolled around on the ground in pain. As they writhed in agony, a dark wind suddenly rose, extinguishing even the light bulbs.

  "Bang, bang, bang..." Ning Ge continued to fire, until all the bullets in the magazine were used up. Almost every bullet he fired hit its target, and soon the two ghosts had white smoke rising from their bodies before dissipating away.

  "Good, little boy, you dare to kill my little ghost. Today I will make you unable to live or die." The two ghosts' venomous voices came from all directions, making everyone feel like the voice was speaking in their own ear. Ning Ge and Lan Jie didn't respond, but instead looked for the source of the sound.

  "Don't look anymore, this is the Taoist's divine hearing, you won't find it." Tian Hua Po Po explained, then she shouted "Xie Jiang, you stinky cow nose, actually let an old lady be used as a gun for you, now you still dare to come, are you a man? Come out and fight to the death!"

  "Haha, Tian Hua old lady, you're too impatient, aren't you? As soon as you heard that the reincarnation eye is present in this world, you couldn't wait to come. How can you blame me? You're already old, at the age of 70 or 80, it's time for you to die." That faint voice sounded again.

  Ning Ge's eyes spun around after hearing this, he didn't know why Tian Hua Po Po was helping them, but that didn't stop him from trying to find Xie Jiang. Only Lan Jie's gaze wandered over Tian Hua Po Po, this person clearly looked like they were in their twenties, how could she be seventy or eighty years old?! Unfortunately, only I can see Tian Hua Po Po's aged appearance now.

  "Haha, Xie Jiang, you've spent your whole life as a wicked Taoist, claiming to have calculated everything. Open your dog eyes and take a look! The Wheel of Reincarnation has not only acknowledged its master but has also begun to merge with him. Even if you were to dismember him, it would be useless. So, who's being used as a pawn besides me?" Tian Hua Pobaby shouted.

  "Impossible, how is it possible?" Three seconds later, a scream echoed from the corridor, filled with despair, making Ning and Lan look at each other in shock. They were also trapped!

  "Behind Ning Ge, southwest direction." I suddenly spoke up to remind him. After Tiān Huā Pó Po finished speaking earlier, I clearly felt a stern gaze coming from behind me. Now, I don't know if it's because of being infected by the Wheel of Reincarnation, but I've become very sensitive to gazes.

  "Bang, bang, bang..." Ning Ge and Lan Jie fired their guns simultaneously, shooting continuously towards the southwest direction behind them. But a strong gust of wind blew over, and I felt my neck twitching, and my whole body lifted off the ground.

  The severe pain on the back of my neck made me struggle constantly, but the force behind was too great, and I couldn't break free.

  "Haha, Tianhua old lady, is this what you call fusion? Digging out his soul and reincarnating into me?" The person behind me laughed loudly after taking a close look at me.

  "It's impossible, how can you stop the fusion of the reincarnation eye with your methods?" Tian Hua Pobaby exclaimed. She had clearly seen that the reincarnation eye on my body had already merged into your soul, and it was too late to grab it. However, her words only brought a disdainful smile from Evil Old Dao, as Tian Hua Pobaby was not a Daoist, and the methods of a Daoist were beyond her imagination.

  "Let him go!" Ning Ge and Lan Jie stood on either side, guns pointed at the evil old Dao behind me. This protection task had only just begun, yet I'd already encountered danger several times. For them, this was unforgivable. If I were really taken away, how could they still stand in the Jianghu?

  "The two ants dare to be arrogant" The evil Taoist didn't put Ning Ge and Lan Jie in his eyes at all. Ordinary people may be able to harm them, but it's definitely not now. After finishing speaking, the evil Taoist threw out a small gourd. As soon as the gourd landed, a burst of black smoke emerged, and then two pitch-black giant humanoid monsters appeared.

  "Bang, bang, bang!" Ning Ge and the other continued to fire their guns, but this time the bullets had almost no effect on the monster, passing directly through its body and hitting the wall behind it. Even the incendiary bullets were ineffective.

  "Kids, I'm giving you two delicious things to try today, eat quickly, haha!" Perhaps he already knew that bullets were useless against monsters. The evil Taoist burst out laughing and the monster, upon hearing his words, let out an excited screech and charged towards Ning Ge and the other person.

  "When the monster rushed over, Ning Ge and Lan Jie drew out a very strange dagger. The hilt of the dagger was an image of a wild beast's head, and both of them also made a cut on their own palms with the dagger. Suddenly, the entire dagger emitted a strange blood light."

  "Hiss, hiss, hiss" One person fought one monster, the dagger sliced through the monster's body and a large piece of flesh and blood flew off, killing the monster in agony. But unfortunately, as soon as the flesh and blood were cut off, another piece would immediately grow back on the monster's body, seemingly impossible to kill.

  "Trash, give you a boost!" The evil Taoist saw that the monster had been fighting for a long time without falling, and Ning Ge's two were still energetic. Suddenly, he got angry, took out a talisman, and slapped it on the monster's body. As soon as the talisman was attached to the monster's body, a dark light burst forth, and its entire body expanded by a large circle, almost filling the entire corridor. Ning Ge's two, who had been relying on agility to fight, were forced to engage in a fierce battle with the monster, and soon fell into a disadvantageous position.

  "Ah, ah, ah" I watched the battle between Ning Ge and Lan Jie with my own eyes. If they were defeated, I would be finished too. In a panic, I struggled desperately, but the more I struggled, the greater the force was transmitted to my neck. Soon, my face turned bright red, I couldn't breathe, and my eyes rolled back in their sockets. Maybe, I'm going to die now.

  My consciousness began to blur, and my eyes had long since lost their sight, so I didn't see that my right hand was glowing. A golden light emanated from my hand, quickly burning through the bandages on it. "Sizzle, sizzle" The golden light soon covered the entire corridor, but what was strange was that when those two monsters came into contact with the golden light, they were like red-hot iron blocks hitting ice water, immediately emitting a sizzling corrosion sound. Next, the two monsters let out continuous wails, and couldn't even stand stably, wanting to return to that gourd, but after taking only a few steps, they turned into a pile of ashes.

  "Little kid, you dare... Bang!" The continuous changes left the evil Taoist speechless with rage. After reacting, he added force to his hands to kill me, but before he could finish speaking, gunshots rang out. Ning Ge and Lan Jie fired simultaneously, and two bullets had already turned the evil Taoist's head into a rotten watermelon.

  "Cough, cough... vomit..." The evil Taoist is dead, and I fell to the ground, constantly coughing, gasping for air. But at this moment, my head was covered with the evil Taoist's fresh blood and minced meat. With one breath, it entered my nose and mouth, making me feel nauseous and vomiting continuously.

  "Hand over the antidote and we'll let you go." They killed the evil Taoist, but Ning Ge didn't relax at all. Instead, they continued to point their guns at Tian Hua Po Po because they had already seen that the green patches on their hands had covered their entire palms. The places with green patches made them feel numb.

  The Heavenly Flower Lady didn't respond, she just lowered her eyes, thinking and hesitating. The evil Taoist was already dead, and tonight there might not be anyone else to contend with her. Moreover, Ning Ge had been poisoned by her, and as long as she accelerated the poison's effects, she had a 50% chance of killing them before they could shoot her. And the allure of the Wheel of Reincarnation towards her was extremely great. According to Jianghu legend, the appearance of the Wheel of Reincarnation meant eternal life, and it was something everyone yearned for.

  But soon, the noisy footsteps interrupted Tian Hua's hesitation. The earlier gunshot had already startled countless people, and Li Huaguang's subordinates, armed with machetes and iron clubs, surrounded them from all sides.

  "Antidote for you!" The Heavenly Flower Lady didn't hesitate, instantly pulling out three medicinal pellets and tossing them at Ning Ge. As he hesitated for a moment, she smashed another pellet on the ground, releasing a massive white smoke. By the time the smoke cleared, the Heavenly Flower Lady was already gone.

  "Go ahead, this antidote shouldn't be fake." Ning Ge held two green and one red pill in his hand. He threw the red pill to me, while he and Lan Jie each took a green pill. Tian Hua Po had been seriously injured, and these pills were her life-saving chips. They shouldn't be fake, or else she would have been endlessly pursued by Li Hua Guang, and no one would ever dare believe her again. At the first opportunity, they would kill her.

  Although it can't be determined whether this antidote is true or false, Ning Ge and the others have all taken it, so I won't fall behind. Closing my eyes, I pinch my throat and swallow it down. Although it's only been a short few days, the things I've encountered are really too many, and life and death have long since become trivial matters.

  "Xiao Ning, Xiao Lan, take Lin Hao to Villa No. 7." Li Huaguang pushed through the crowd and came before us, saying this without any change in expression or a hint of anger in his eyes, as if it wasn't his event that had been disrupted today.

  "Yes, boss." Although his eyes were filled with surprise, Ning Ge still replied succinctly. As a bodyguard, all he could do was obey the boss's orders.

  So I was taken to what they called Villa No. 7 under the protection of many guards.
