Chapter Thirty-Three The Art of Victory
At night.
The huge Huang Mansion was already empty.
Li Daoxuan was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, with his sword across his knees and an oil-paper umbrella beside him, quietly looking at the night sky.
After an unknown amount of time, he took off the Three Realms gourd from his waist, pulled out the stopper, and took a sip.
Naturally, what he drank was not the pond water in Longshou Mountain, but the fine fruit wine bought by Mr. Huang. This was the only thing he had to satisfy his appetite now.
"Sister Yu, do you think that ghost dares to attack me tonight?"
Li Daoxuan said suddenly.
The oil-paper umbrella leaned quietly beside him, motionless.
"It seems that she doesn't dare. If that's the case, then I'll simply create a chance for her!"
After that, Li Daoxuan took a sip of wine, then got up and left the pavilion, walked into the room where the old Taoist priest lived before, and lay down on the bed casually without caring about the death of someone here.
As soon as I was covered with quilt, I started to fall asleep deeply.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye it was midnight, when the Yin Qi was at its heaviest.
Li Daoxuan suddenly sat up, with a trace of helplessness in his eyes. The ghost seemed to be really scared and has not appeared until now.
"Haha, don't call me a devil, call me a coward."
Li Daoxuan mocked loudly, but there was silence everywhere.
Seeing that the ridicule was useless, Li Daoxuan thought of going to the eldest lady's bedroom to take another look. He always felt that the other party was hiding some very important information.
It's still the same house smeared with black dog blood and chicken blood.
When I opened the door, the smell inside was much better. Mr. Huang asked his servants to clean it today and it was much cleaner.
Li Daoxuan looked around and suddenly discovered a problem.
There seems to be no mirror in this room?
This used to be the eldest lady's room. It was equipped with rouge, gouache, silk and satin, but there was no bronze mirror.
Mr. Huang values the eldest wife very much, is he still reluctant to buy a bronze mirror for her?
Therefore, it is very possible that the eldest lady herself requested that the bronze mirror be moved.
Why is she so afraid of looking in the mirror?
Li Daoxuan's eyes finally rested under the bed where the eldest lady hid during the day.
He squatted down, got under the bed, used his discerning eyes, and stared at every corner carefully.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a wall. There were some gaps there, which did not fit perfectly with the surrounding area.
Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand and clicked it, and as expected he easily removed the masonry, revealing the secret hole inside.
The space was not big, and there was only a black sandalwood box, which was locked with an iron lock. What was even weirder was that the box was tightly wrapped with ink fountain string. Li Daoxuan sniffed it, and it seemed that there was the smell of black dog blood on it.
The ink fountain bullet thread is also something Taoist priests often use in subduing demons, and it has a very good effect on ghosts and zombies.
Sure enough there is a problem!
Li Daoxuan did not hesitate, he pulled out the fish intestine sword from his waist, easily cut off the ink fountain string, and cut off the iron lock with another sword.
When I opened the box, I was greeted by a musty smell.
When he saw what was inside clearly, Li Daoxuan was surprised. It was a doll, it looked like a woman, and it was covered with silver needles.
The art of hating victory!
Li Daoxuan heard from his master that the art of hating victory is a kind of witchcraft. It appeared in the Qin and Han Dynasties. This kind of magic is very insidious. It uses the personal belongings of the opponent to curse it, so it is difficult to prevent it.
Peeling open the inside of the doll, Li Daoxuan saw a lot of dry hair and a piece of yellow paper with birth date written on it.
Suddenly Li Daoxuan felt itchy on his neck, as if hair had fallen on his neck.
"Sister Yu, don't make trouble——"
Li Daoxuan's voice stopped suddenly, and a chill surged into his heart. In an instant, he had goosebumps all over his body.
How could Sister Yu take the initiative to come to him?
He turned his head stiffly, and with Li Daoxuan's courage, he almost suffered a cardiac arrest.
One head hangs under the bed, with long hair scattered, as if lying on the bed and looking down, the pair of blood-filled eyes are staring directly at Li Daoxuan.
That female ghost appears again!
Li Daoxuan's heart was beating fast, like a drum. Just when he was about to speak, the female ghost's long hair suddenly grew longer and rolled towards the doll in Li Daoxuan's hand.
Clang!
There was a flash of cold light, and the sword roared like a dragon.
The long hair was cut off instantly and turned into smoke and dissipated. Li Daoxuan used the fish intestine sword to directly cut through the wooden bed, turned over and jumped out.
Seeing Li Daoxuan holding the sword, the female ghost took a deep look at the puppet in his hand, then turned around and ran away.
Apparently the experience during the day made her fear Li Daoxuan, and the reason why she showed up just now was because of that doll.
"Want to run?"
Li Daoxuan grabbed the oil-paper umbrella by the wall, used the magic technique of shrinking the ground, and chased the opponent.
After a while, he chased him into a room.
The place is remote and shabby, with cobwebs and dust everywhere, and it seems that no one has lived here for a long time.
After the female ghost entered the room, she disappeared.
Li Daoxuan walked around and finally stopped in front of a bronze mirror. The mirror was covered with a layer of yellow cloth and was covered with dust.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Li Daoxuan put down the oil-paper umbrella, and then opened the yellow cloth with both hands, revealing the relatively clean mirror inside.
He looked into the bronze mirror, and under the hazy moonlight, he could faintly see a figure doing the same action as him.
Li Daoxuan raised his left hand, and the person in the mirror also raised his left hand. He raised his right hand, and the person inside also raised his right hand.
Looks very normal.
But Li Daoxuan showed a sneer and said: "Haha, you are so stupid, I raised my left hand, you should raise your right."
After saying that, he suddenly pulled out the fish intestine sword and stabbed the bronze mirror!
At this moment, Li Daoxuan finally knew why there was no bronze mirror in the eldest lady's room, and also understood how the ghost could evade his Five Thunder Talisman.
This is a very rare ghost that can travel through the space in the mirror!
Master once said that these are called mirror ghosts and they are very difficult to deal with. They are born with the magical ability to escape into the mirror and can avoid many spells, including the Five Thunder Talisman.
Li Daoxuan's sword stopped at the moment when it was about to hit the mirror, because two pale hands stretched out from the mirror and grabbed his wrist.
In order to lure the female ghost out, he deliberately did not use the amulet, and now it is difficult to escape.
Then Li Daoxuan felt a great force coming from him, pulling him in, and his whole body was submerged in the mirror.
The mirror surface rippled slightly like water waves, and then returned to calm.
A figure appeared in front of the mirror, it was the female ghost dressed in white with long hair disheveled, and in the mirror, there was a vague figure of a man knocking...
The female ghost looked coldly into the mirror.
However, she didn't notice that a cyan oil-paper umbrella quietly opened at some point, and the blood-red wedding dress floated behind her, staring at her.
But in the bronze mirror, there is no shadow of the wedding dress at all.
An astonishing yin energy emerged, and it seemed that even the moonlight in the sky was dimmed. It seemed that only the three thousand black hairs flying in the air and the gorgeous wedding dress dripping with blood were left in the world.
This terrible yin energy frightened even the female ghost. She didn't dare to turn around and threw herself directly at the mirror.
