Chapter 15: A Hair's Breadth Escape

  I was still muttering the incantation over and over again, but the talismans on those two ghosts had apparently lost their effect. My 'yin-yang' eyes could clearly see that the two female ghosts were pouncing towards me at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  I focused my attention and finally managed to recite the incantation in its entirety.

  Those few talismans I stuck on the wall suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, forming a canopy of golden light around Mr. Zhuo and me.

  Those two 'female' ghosts rushed over and heavily bumped into the hood, but due to their habitual nature, they were bounced back very far.

  I think it must have hurt a lot.

  But at this time I didn't have the mood to care if the female ghost was in pain or not.

  I moved over to Mr. Zhuo's side and saw that he had also recovered a bit, feeling somewhat relieved, I asked in a hurry: "What do we do next?"

  Mr. Zhuo stood up calmly and looked at the two "female" ghosts outside, whose bodies were now surrounded by a thick aura of death, making it almost impossible to see their figures clearly.

  These two 'female' ghosts have turned into extremely yin and evil spirits, and even through the golden light shield, I can clearly feel the evil aura emanating from the two 'female' ghosts.

  Mr. Zhuo stretched out his hand and counted with his fingers for a moment, and the calmness in his eyes turned into doubt.

  I stood by anxiously pacing back and forth, constantly shaking Mr. Zhuo's arm and asking him what to do.

  However, Mr. Zhuo seemed to be deaf to my words and didn't even glance at me.

  I had no choice, so I sat down to the side and started meditating. As a result, I saw that the golden light cover outside was full of evil spirits, and the evil spirits slowly collided with the golden light cover, causing the golden light on the outside to gradually dim!

  My magical powers are limited and I won't be able to hold on for much longer.

  Mr. Zhuo finally came back to his senses and drew out a talisman, tossing it into the sky.

  I saw those Taoist symbols fly to the edge of the golden light shield and actually dispersed those evil spirits.

  Mr. Zhuo still wanted to throw out the Taoist symbol when his body leaned forward a bit, and he almost fell over.

  I rushed over quickly and supported Mr. Zhuo, but Mr. Zhuo smiled and said: "It seems that my magical powers can no longer be used, now it's up to you."

  Look at me? Can I solve something that even Mr. Zhuo can't solve?

  I don't even believe myself!

  Mr. Zhuo looked at me with great trust, gently patted my shoulder, and whispered a few magic words in my ear, asking me to repeat after him.

  I recited it once, and Mr. Zhuo nodded in relief, indicating that I should open the golden light cover and engage in a head-on battle with those two 'female' ghosts.

  I hesitated for a moment, then opened the golden light shield. Suddenly, that evil spirit gathered again and slowly moved to my side, wrapping me and Mr. Zhuo in it.

  I took out a Taoist talisman and shouted "Ji ji ru lü ling", the evil spirits then split into two streams and moved away from me.

  I took advantage of the opportunity to 'draw out' the last two talismans and used Mr. Zhuo's method to 'hand them over' to the two female ghosts.

  The closer I got to the two female ghosts, the thicker the chill in the air became.

  I felt that my body was almost frozen stiff, but I still kept running forward without stopping. In my heart, there was only one conviction - to subdue these two 'female' ghosts.

  Two 'female' ghosts with red dresses gradually appeared in front of me, I didn't care about anything, the two talismans in my hand didn't hesitate to greet the foreheads of the two 'female' ghosts.

  "Hurry up like an imperial decree!"

  The moment the curse was spoken, my chest cavity was heavily struck by the evil energy from the two female ghosts' bodies. I slowed down for a moment, and the talisman was stuck to the necks of the two female ghosts!

  It's all over! I'm completely desperate! And it was stuck on me crookedly!

  I was regretful, but two female ghosts screamed and fell to the ground, shaking all over.

  The talismans on their necks ignited and burned a large hole in their necks.

  I hastily retreated two steps back and observed the two 'female' ghosts.

  The evil spirit around them gradually weakened, I felt that the body around me was not so cool anymore, only the 'chest' cavity hit by the evil spirit still hurt a bit.

  The necks of both 'female' ghosts have been burned open and should disappear soon.

  I relaxed a bit and turned around to help Mr. Zhuo.

  I overlooked one thing, extremely 'yin' and extremely evil female ghosts, even if wounds appear on their bodies, as long as they don't reach the forehead, they won't disappear.

  Just as I turned my back on them, those two 'female' ghosts summoned their last bit of strength and rushed towards me.

  Mr. Zhuo had barely uttered the word "be careful" when I felt my neck being fiercely grabbed by those two 'female' ghosts!

  I don't have a single talisman left on me now, and Mr. Zhuo can't use his magic either, so I'm basically waiting for death!

  I thought I'd die at 15 in Korea's winter, but to actually be destroyed by a 'female' ghost is just too frustrating!

  I stretched out both hands to my neck, desperately trying to pry open the female ghost's hands.

  But I was no match for this 'female' ghost, the more I tried to pry her hands off me, the tighter she gripped my neck, and before long I found myself struggling to breathe, almost suffocating.

  The two "female" ghosts' grip on my hands was getting tighter and tighter, my hands were going numb, and I couldn't exert any strength at all.

  Just as I was seeing stars and feeling like I was going to die, the two 'female' ghosts suddenly withdrew all their strength from my body.

  Something seemed to be burning around my ears, and I was sweating profusely.

  I touched my ear with my hand and unexpectedly 'felt' a Taoist symbol!

  I was somewhat dazed and heard some noise outside the window.

  I followed the sound and saw a man wearing a black Taoist robe standing majestically outside the window.

  His face was exceptionally delicate, just like a 'girl'.

  He held a talisman in his hand, which was still emitting a blue glow in the dark night.

  The man in black robes walked in from the window.

  For a moment I almost doubted my own eyes.

  Because the window was closed and he didn't open it, it's as if he passed through the wall!

  I stood there in shock, with a complete blank in my mind.

  What happened afterwards shocked me even more.

  Only to see the man in black Taoist robe, with his hands clasped together, a few talismans slowly flew out of his clothes and surrounded his body in a circle, constantly rotating.

  Two female ghosts suddenly became frightened for some reason and curled up into a ball on the ground with their heads covered.

  The man in the black Taoist robe finished his hand seal and shouted "Ji Ji Ru Lü Ling" towards the sky, the Taoist symbols surrounding him quickly dispersed and rushed towards the two female ghosts.

  The Dao character burned with blue flames and stuck to the female ghost's body, and the two female ghosts' bodies were instantly burned into two clusters of black smoke.

  The man in the black robe chuckled and blew a mouthful of air at the two clusters of black smoke, which then flew into the box in his hand.

  He swiftly made a few hand seals and stuck a talisman on the lid of the box.

  His movements were extremely swift, my 'flesh' eyes couldn't catch up, and I could only barely see through my 'yin-yang' eyes.

  I looked at Mr. Zhuo in confusion, but he just stared at the man with a blank expression.

  The man in black robes put away the box and looked me up and down before asking, "What's your name?"

  "Han Dong." I replied.

  The young man said thoughtfully: "My name is Arno. I found that your 'yin' and 'yang' eyes are very special, very suitable for joining our 'yin' and 'yang' master family."

  I furrowed my brow in confusion, and my eyes inadvertently glanced at Mr. Zhuo, whose eyes suddenly filled with a murderous aura.

  Ano finally discovered Mr. Zhuo at this time, looked at him with some surprise, and then turned to ask me: "Is your 'Yin' Yang technique taught by Mr. Zhuo?"

  I nodded, but I didn't understand why Ano also knew Mr. Zhuo and what this 'Yin' Yang family was all about, I was completely in the dark.

  Ano saw me nodding, and suddenly laughed: "It seems that you can't join our Yin Yang family after all, because your Yin Yang technique was taught by Mr. Zhuo. What a pity for such a good Yin Yang eye..."

  Anuo finished speaking and didn't wait for me to continue asking him questions, he turned around and jumped out of the window.

  I saw him jump out of the window, and in that instant a large bird swooped down. Arno made an agile flip and landed on the bird's back, then the bird flapped its wings and disappeared from my sight in no time.

  I was full of doubts and wanted to ask Mr. Zhuo, but when I did, he seemed to have exhausted his last bit of energy and suddenly fell to the ground.

  I hastily supported Mr. Zhuo and moved him towards the 'bed', as a result, I unintentionally stepped on something soft and fluffy, almost falling over.

  I lowered my head and saw Zhao Kai already lying on the ground in a daze.

  This person has been completely ignored by me!

  I let out a sigh, first helping Mr. Zhuo back onto the 'bed', then shaking awake Zhao Ke and telling him that the two 'female' ghosts had already disappeared, letting him find his own way back to the village.

  He might have been shaken by what just happened and walked unsteadily, almost tripping over his own feet several times.

  I don't have the mood to care about him, my mind is all about Mr. Zhuo and the 'Yin' Yang family matters.

  I sat in the hotel room for a whole night and fell asleep without realizing it.

  In the dream, a person appeared vaguely, looking very majestic, wearing a suit of golden armor like a war god, gazing forward.

  I couldn't see his face clearly, but I felt that his eyes were very similar to mine.

  I stood with him there, feeling the wind blowing by constantly beside me.

  Although I closed my eyes, yet the "yin" and "yang" eyes are open.

  I can clearly see the sun rising bit by bit in front of me, and the surrounding scenery is getting brighter bit by bit.

  The man in armor beside him suddenly whispered: "How I wish to return once more."

  His voice was extremely hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

  I turned around in confusion and looked at him, only to see his golden armor flash for a moment before seemingly disappearing.

  I broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly woke up.

  The sky outside has already brightened up a bit, looks like I only slept for about an hour or so.

  Looking at Mr. Zhuo on the 'bed', after a period of rest, he not only didn't look better, but also looked more haggard than yesterday.

  I couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead, the scorching temperature burning my hand bright red.

  Isn't that right? Can Mr. Zhu also get sick? In my impression, Mr. Zhu has always been omnipotent and getting sick is something that will never happen to him in his lifetime.
