Chapter 12 Candles
At the same time, in the room.
In the four corners, the orange glimmer emitted by the burning candles appeared particularly bright in the darkness, and at the same time, it also reflected a bloodless face.
Ling Yun almost held his breath, staring nervously at the faint fire in front of him, and thin beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Before leaving, Zhao Sicheng once told him to ensure that these candles would not be extinguished no matter what. Otherwise, once he fell into darkness, his situation would be even worse.
The movement of Shen Tinglan and others outside the living room completely disappeared not long after he closed the door.
Although he couldn't hear his companion's voice, Ling Yun knew that as long as he was alive, the water ghost would not attack anyone else. The real test had already begun.
Strange and disgusting laughter sounded outside the yard without any warning.
"Dong dong dong..." Immediately afterwards, there was a slight knocking sound from the window.
Through the window covered with waste paper, Ling Yun saw a huge black figure hunched over and tapping on the window with his hands.
At the same time, Ling Yun discovered that the candle flames that were still lit in the corners of the house suddenly turned into a strange green color.
The moment the temperature dropped rapidly, the salt piles in the corners turned into pitch black.
Suddenly, there was a faint breeze blowing by my ears.
Ling Yun suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, but he still resisted his fear and stood up quickly, protecting the candle closest to him with his hand.
The other three candles had been completely extinguished, but the one he was protecting in front of him still flickered with a faint flame.
There were "creak" and "creak" noises near the window, and the glass also made a crisp collision sound. The room began to tremble violently, as if it had experienced an earthquake.
The movement outside was getting louder and louder, and the beating rhythm was crazy and chaotic. The black shadow lost patience, stretched out its huge palm, and kept pushing the window hard, trying desperately to squeeze in.
Ling Yun stood up from the ground, opened his backpack and took out a rolled silk painting, and quickly hung it on the wall next to the window.
The silk painting unfolds slowly, and the picture is outlined with gold powder. In the center, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is depicted in yellow clothes and wearing a five-leaf crown.
The Bodhisattva holds a pearl in his left hand and a tin staff in his right hand, standing on a thousand-leaf green lotus. The treasure is solemn, simple and solemn. The whole picture reveals a sense of sacred and inviolable majesty.
This painting is a purple-level psychic prop that Ling Yun redeemed with one hundred points before entering the mission.
He had already calculated that his physique would be entangled by the power of ghosts and curses; just relying on Zhao Sicheng would definitely not be enough.
To deal with spiritual ghosts, players other than the psychic system are not without means. You can exchange spells, magic weapons or psychic bullets in the space mall. Although they cannot completely kill them, they can also play a certain life-saving role.
The moment he unfolded the scroll, Ling Yun felt a warmth filling his body, and the cold aura that had previously enveloped him had also weakened a lot.
Under the protection of Ksitigarbha, he felt the movement outside the window getting smaller and smaller. Gradually, the flame of the candle in his hand returned to its normal color, and everything seemed to become stable again.
Ling Yun polished the match and lit the other three. He simply sat cross-legged facing the silk painting, closed his eyes and kept chanting the mantra. And his originally anxious and anxious mood gradually calmed down a lot with the blessing of Buddhist scriptures. .
It has to be said that ghosts are best at stimulating people's hearts. After intimidation failed, it adopted other methods.
Soon, the screams of Tang Yao, Shen Tinglan, Su Li and others sounded continuously outside the house.
Because it was so realistic, there were several times during the period when Ling Yun was almost shaken by his companions' cries for help and wanted to ask if they were okay.
But every time he opened his eyes and saw the Bodhisattva statue on the wall, his chaotic and confused brain gradually became clear; the power of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva offset the bewitchment caused by the ghosts. Without this prop, Ling Yun knew very well that he would not be able to sustain it. Until now.
The movement outside slowly became quieter, and gradually, sleepiness came over him like a tide. Ling Yun closed his eyes, and before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep...
"It's already dawn. Fatty, tell me, is it difficult for this water ghost to move during the day?"
In the living room, Shen Tinglan glanced at his watch. It was already 5:40 in the morning, a fish belly white appeared in the east, the sky outside was already misty and bright, and the thick fog was much lighter than at night.
"Well, the brighter the sky, the weaker its ability. As long as it can survive until the sunrise in the early morning, Ling Yun's life can be saved. Next, we just need to go up the mountain and find a way to repair the seal, which should solve the problem." Zhao Sicheng said. He yawned and responded to the other party.
"After a night, there is still no movement in the house. I wonder how Brother Ling is doing."
Tang Yao held her chin in worry and stared at the door. She never closed her eyes for a moment of rest all night. Not only her, but others too.
In the corner, Ren Yao was fiddling with his fingers seemingly casually, but his eyes never left the room where Ling Yun was...
And on the other side, inside the house.
Ling Yun opened his eyes with a start, but he didn't expect that he would fall asleep.
After all, he had only slept for three hours from yesterday to now. After spending a lot of energy and staying up all night, it was inevitable that he would feel tired.
He hurriedly looked at the corner, only to find that the ground was piled with wax oil, and two of them had been completely extinguished.
The time on the watch had stopped long ago, and Ling Yun himself didn't know how much time had passed.
There had been no new movement outside the window for a long time, but his intuition told him that the fog had not cleared yet and the curse spirit had not left. He must not relax because of this.
Ling Yun stood up and wanted to light the extinguished candle again.
However, just as he stood up, there was a huge impact outside the window. Due to this impact, the Bodhisattva statue hanging on the wall directly hit the ground.
Ling Yun hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the scroll, but the next second, he was horrified to find that cracks appeared on the scroll at some point. The golden paint painted on the body of the Dharma gradually fell off, and the face of the Bodhisattva collapsed. , the movement outside the room also became louder and louder.
After all, it had resisted attacks all night, and even the purple-grade props could no longer support it at this time.
Bang——
Along with the loud sound of broken glass, fog mixed with cold wind blew into the house. The scroll in Ling Yun's hand suddenly spontaneously ignited, and the remaining two candles were all extinguished at this time.
"Oops!"
Looking at the debris on the ground, Ling Yun raised his head and looked out the window. The weird laughter sounded again, and a bright red and gloomy figure stood in the courtyard.
The woman kept making whining screams. Because she lost her eyes, she kept shaking her head, as if to distinguish Ling Yun's location.
The female ghost in red walked forward slowly. Everywhere it passed, it would leave a large pool of black, smelly water. It stretched out its hands, and its ten fingers were as swollen as white radishes. The woman opened her mouth, and black water flowed down.
, Ling Yun suddenly discovered that there was only half of the tongue left in the other party's mouth, which had been chopped off.
This is really... too cruel.
