The years of reselling the haunted house

As soon as Third Uncle finished speaking, he saw that the column of smoke that had subsided suddenly suddenly rose again.The five-element and five-beast furnace in front of us also made a piercing buzzing sound again.

The four of us looked in all directions, and found that on the hillside just outside the valley, densely packed black shadows had already appeared.

With the current light and the position we are standing in, all we can see are layers of black shadows, and we cannot tell whether they are humans, ghosts, or some other kind of spirit.

With their appearance, what I can feel directly is that the surrounding temperature drops suddenly.It seemed that the temperature dropped from more than ten degrees above zero to below zero all at once.

At the same time, the cold wind began to invade our bodies continuously, and the fat man and I couldn't help but shiver.

In my subconscious mind, even if a big battle is imminent, at least the leader of the opponent, whether it is evil or evil, should show his face and say a few threatening words, and then the real sword will be real. Gun confrontation.

The result surprised me, the other party did not know what order was issued, and the black shadows surrounding the valley launched an attack without warning.

Suddenly, the black shadow moved suddenly, like a group of black clouds, covering the entire valley.

Granny Yan was here and responded in time.

The purple cloud rod in her hand, the smoke pot above it has already been filled with shredded tobacco, and it has also been lit.Granny Yan waved the purple cloud pole, muttering words in her mouth, and suddenly drank: "The world is ten thousand sects, the ropes are connected to the net, and the edict..."

At the same time, Granny Yan pointed at the sky with a purple cloud pole.

The next astonishing scene happened. I saw the smoke pillars rising from the outskirts of the valleys, and they sprouted branches one after another. Those branches were like the kind of vines with vines, quickly spreading around.

The extended smoke looks like long ropes made of smoke.The eight pillars of smoke produced countless strands of smoke, which were densely packed and intricately connected to each other, forming an impenetrable smoke net on the periphery of Xiaoyao Valley.

This scene looks like a fantasy theater.Smoky, yet fantastical.If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I don't think I would have believed it.

I know that Granny Yan's smoking control technique is her unique skill, but I think it's nothing more than using a cigarette pot to take a few puffs of cigarettes, which is nothing more than a small fight.

I didn't expect that this smoking control technique can be big or small.It seems that it is not as simple as exhaling a few smoke rings. Looking at the smoke nets in all directions, the momentum is magnificent, and I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth from ear to ear.

Not to mention me, even the well-informed third uncle was also dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

I think these should only be heard in fairy tales, or seen in those fairy tales.

The smoke ropes on all sides formed a smoke net, which once again isolated Xiaoyao Valley from the outside world.The dark shadows outside were gone for a while.

The third uncle couldn't help but praised loudly: "Old smoked woman, you are here. The smoke net array is well laid out."

Granny Yan took back the Ziyun pole that was held in the air, her face still solemn, she pointed to the pipe pot in her hand, and said: "It's nothing good, this pipe can only last for 10 minutes, wait until the pipe is burned out." It's time to disappear. I didn't expect the opponent to have such a big battle. We have to take another precaution within 10 minutes. Li Yang..."

Grandma Yan called me, and I hurriedly responded.

Chapter 1296 Reversing Yin and Yang

Granny Yan said hastily: "You and Fatty, hurry up to my room, move those straw people to the vicinity of the gossip positions I set up, and light them with fire."

During the day, Granny Yan and I cleaned up the site, gathered the straw figurines she had made with her own hands, and put them in front of the thatched cottage.

Roughly estimated, there are hundreds of them.Because of my previous experience, I also know that these straw people are not just straw people, they have spirits on them.That is to say, every straw man has a soul.

I guess Granny Yan wants to use the souls of these grass figures to fight against the ghosts of the opponent.But in this way, these souls will inevitably suffer casualties.When a person dies, he becomes a soul, and when the soul dies, it will fly away and perish in the three realms and six realms.

This is extremely cruel to these souls.

So this is also the reason why Granny Yan didn't use these straw people before.But now the opponent's attack is beyond Granny Yan's expectations, if they don't use them, it may be difficult to resist the opponent's attack.

Although I haven't fully seen the opponent's strength, but seeing those ghosts, I think they may be the ghost soldiers that the opponent has been hiding.

Fat Dahai and I didn't dare to neglect, we quickly divided those straw people into eight parts, and carried them to the side of the eight smoke pillars.I counted roughly, and there should be 88 of these straw figures, and there are eleven next to each smoke column.

After we lit those straw figures according to Grandma Yan's instructions, the raging flames burned up, almost turning half of the sky red.

When we returned to Granny Yan's side, we found that the shredded tobacco in the tobacco pot in her hand was almost burnt.

In other words, the smoke net she just arranged is about to fail.

I didn't ask Granny Yan why she didn't set up another smoke net.Because in my opinion, there is no need to ask this kind of question. There is a limit to everything, even if Granny Yan is superb in Daoism. Only by doing our best can we achieve it.Just like the ancient talisman I used before, with my cultivation base, I can only send it once, and I can't get it a second time.So I think the reason why this smoke net will not be installed a second time is that it must be done, and it cannot be done.

At this time, I heard my third uncle say to Granny Yan: "Old lady Yan, I understand why they didn't choose to attack here tomorrow. I thought he would choose a cloudy day, but unexpectedly, they can also change Yin and Yang They should have moved the overall attributes of the ghost set here, and if this continues, it will be bad for us."

Granny Yan nodded: "I have considered this, and you will see the effect immediately."

As soon as Granny Yan finished speaking, I felt that the surrounding light seemed to have changed a little.The few lanterns hanging in front of the thatched cottage suddenly each emitted a white light.

The white light covered the lantern and radiated out in all directions, quickly illuminating the surroundings of the thatched cottage.

Soon, these white lights quickly spread to a larger area, almost illuminating the entire valley where we are.This kind of light is completely different from the effect of the fire light.This kind of light is closer to the sunlight during the day. Although it is not as bright as the daytime, it almost makes Xiaoyaogu get rid of the state of the night.

At the same time, I feel that the temperature has also risen rapidly from the low temperature, which makes our bodies feel more comfortable, which is similar to the feeling of bathing in the sun during the day.

Seeing all this, the third uncle praised: "Sure enough, you are a master who can control yin and yang. Granny Yan, you have moved the day to night, which makes Dongbin admire."

Granny Yan waved her hand: "It's this time, so don't praise me as an old woman. I just use these few lamps to collect some yang energy and energy during the day, and release them in a special way at night. , it’s hard to say whether it will work.”

Fatty and I stood by the side, and I understood the purpose of what they did just now.The reason is that the side of the evil way led the ghost soldiers to attack Xiaoyao Valley, bringing the yin qi of the ghost collection together, which caused the yin qi to flourish and yang qi to decline in Xiaoyao Valley, so we can all feel the sudden temperature change. Declining, that's just one of the signs after the Yin Qi has flourished.

In this environment, we first suffer from the enemy.Because the opponent is a ghost soldier, our side mainly relies on some Taoism to defend, so if we can't reverse this general situation, we will lose a round before we face the enemy.

That's why Granny Yan used a Taoist technique to release the yang energy and energy collected during the day at night.This seems to me like a modern way of using solar energy.It collects solar energy during the day, converts it into electricity and releases it at night.It's just that Granny Yan didn't use any modern technology, but only relied on her own Taoism and skills to achieve this, which is especially admirable.

In this way, the light is also much better, and it also allows us to better see where the enemy is in this environment.

The third uncle asked again: "How long can this situation last?"

Granny Yan said, "At least two hours."

The third uncle nodded: "Two hours, regardless of the outcome, are enough."

Uncle San meant that two hours is enough for both of us to decide the outcome.Either we were defeated, Xiaoyao Valley was breached, or the opponent had no choice but to retreat from Xiaoyao Valley.

As for the consequences of Xiaoyao Valley being breached if we lose, he didn't say clearly, and we don't want to ask more.

But I stand here, no matter what my skills are, I always maintain a heart to live and die with Xiaoyao Valley.

I don't know why I have such a mentality when I first came to Happy Valley.Xiaoyao Valley is the place where Granny Yan lived for decades, but it has nothing to do with me.Could it be because of the Dao bone relic on my body?

After all, this Xiaoyao Valley was founded by Lingxuzi alone, and my bone relics come from Taoist Shimen, and he also belongs to Taoist Shimen, so there may be some inexplicable connections between them.

But I think so, and I believe that Uncle San and Fatty should have the same mentality, because I can see it from their firm eyes.This is not something that Dao Bone Relic can explain.

People are like this, no matter how difficult things are, as long as people who stand together have a firm heart, they will always add infinite strength.

Standing together, we all feel the energy being transmitted from each other, which makes me face everything that is coming with more confidence.

Chapter 1297

And the situation in front of her, along with the shredded tobacco in the purple cloud pole in Granny Yan's hand, burned out, and the smoke net surrounding Xiaoyao Valley in all directions disappeared like soap bubbles pierced by someone with the tip of a needle. .

With the destruction of the smoke net, the ghost soldiers in all directions were revealed again.

This time, because Grandma Yan raised the surrounding light, the faces of those ghost soldiers were completely exposed in front of us.

They should all come from the ghost collection, but the difference from the ghosts I saw in the ghost collection is that they look more sturdy, and everyone's actions are very uniform. I noticed that their left hands clenched their fists Put it on your chest, free your right hand and open it forward.

After breaking through the smoke net, the large area of ​​ghost soldiers, like a tidal wave, crazily rushed towards Xiaoyao Valley.

Those smoke nets that were broken through immediately turned into a puff of floating smoke, which was scattered in pieces and scattered in the air.

It's just that the ghost soldiers who rushed over didn't advance much, and were blocked again.

This time it was the straw men who were already on fire to block the ghost soldiers.We stood in Xiaoyao Valley, and we could clearly see that among those fires, light and shadows suddenly appeared.

Those straw figures who were burned were not burned to ashes like ordinary straw figures, but were on fire, and they also moved in the flames.

And the smoke that dissipated in the air quickly condensed into smoke ropes, connecting the grass figures in eight directions together.

Now such a situation was formed, the straw man was on fire, and the smoke ropes were gathered together to form a dense protective net.This should be another line of defense built by Granny Yan, the purpose is to block the attack of those ghost soldiers.

Looking at everything in front of me, it was like watching a fantasy visual blockbuster. Even if it appeared in a dream, I would think it was a bit unbelievable.But this is actually happening right in front of your eyes.

Later, the third uncle told me that in fact, similar contests like this often happen in Taoism, but sometimes when the two sides confront each other, there will be no similar visual effects.Like today's duel in Xiaoyao Valley, the reason why we see such visual effects is also based on many reasons. For example, Grandma Yan changed the environment here by stealing the sky and changing the day, turning the night into day. For example, we are all in In such an environment, vision and hearing, as well as the various senses of the body, are exposed to information that cannot be captured by the naked eye or ears.

And this battle of Xiaoyao Valley was also widely spread in the Taoist sect later, and became a mysterious battle worthy of permanent records.

And the fires that the straw men burned seemed to make the ghost soldiers very afraid. After they attacked twice, they also attracted a lot of flames, and the sound of ghost cries resounded through the valley.

The third uncle looked at those people on fire, and said in a low voice: "Old lady Yan, you gave up the souls of these people. This is the fire of the three souls?"

Granny Yan nodded: "Success leads to reincarnation, failure leads to ascension to heaven. This is their best destination."

The flames and the smoke that Grandma Yan made were very effective, and the ghost soldiers on the other side seemed to be retreating.I didn't understand why these straw men had such fighting power, so I asked my third uncle.

The third uncle explained to us in a low voice: "Grandma Yan attracted a lot of corpse energy in Xiaoyao Valley, and at the same time the corpse energy also attracted their own souls. These souls were also collected by Grandma Yan and saved. I hope that the Let them participate in reincarnation and reincarnation. But these souls are all dead people, with too much resentment, and most of the souls cannot be saved, so Granny Yan sealed them in straw people. They are naturally full of hostility, After starting the fire, they even ignited their three souls, the fire of the three souls plus the smoke, the effect is comparable to the real fire of Samadhi, and naturally they can retreat those ghost soldiers."

I questioned: "Then their three souls have all been burned, isn't that their souls scattered?"

The third uncle shook his head: "Didn't you listen to Granny Yan? If you succeed, you will be reincarnated, and if you fail, you will ascend to heaven. That is to say, this is also an opportunity for them. After such a fierce fight, their hostility will also follow. Released, after the hostility is eliminated, they can be reincarnated smoothly. Of course, if they lose the battle, they will also be slaughtered by those ghost soldiers, resulting in the consequences of flying away. So for them, this vicious fight is a journey from left to right Watershed."

I nodded and looked at the situation on the field. After retreating for a wave, those ghost soldiers quickly organized an offensive again and rushed up like a tide.

And from the beginning to the end, I didn't see the person who gave the order to the other party.

That person seems to be hiding in the dark, but he can always issue flexible instructions when the battle situation changes.Apparently the man was somewhere on the hillside.

I looked at the ghost soldiers besieging Xiaoyao Valley from all directions, and I probably estimated that there were hundreds of them.

I muttered: "This is where so many ghost soldiers were gathered."

The third uncle said: "The evil way is to raise ghosts and corpses for many years. Those ghosts and corpses that failed to develop ghost pills have been trained by him to become ghost soldiers. Now these ghost soldiers are not ghosts, but ghost corpses. They are ghosts." A combination of corpses. They have physical bodies and stronger fighting power. I think Granny Yan’s smoke may be unstoppable.”

Sure enough, as the third uncle said, I found that the smoke ropes formed by the smoked mother-in-law have a tendency to be broken at any time.

At this time, I saw Granny Yan's face was serious. She gritted her teeth and picked up a cloth bag from the side. I knew it was filled with shredded tobacco.

Granny Yan took the bag over, flushed down the mouth of the bag, and poured the shredded tobacco from the bag into the five-element and five-beast stove.

As the shredded tobacco was poured into the furnace, there was no fire in the furnace, but because of the shredded tobacco poured in, a cluster of flames sprang up, almost in the blink of an eye, the flames scorched the shredded tobacco. .

Pang Dahai was taken aback when he saw it: "Grandma Yan, the days are running out? Isn't this your baby? Why is it all burned?"

I tugged at Fatty and motioned him not to ask more questions.The fat man's idea was the same as mine before, thinking that shredded tobacco is only shredded tobacco when it is in the pipe pot.But now I understand that Granny Yan's smoking control skills don't just rely on the purple cloud rod.The smoking control technique she has mastered is large and complex, and it seems that everything that can produce smoke in the world can be used by her.

What's more, what's poured into the furnace is still decent shredded tobacco.

Sure enough, after the shredded tobacco burned, it began to return smoke upwards in a large area.The smoke rose up, Granny Yan held the purple cloud pole, just like a general holding a token, and the smoke flew to whichever direction the token pointed.

Chapter 1298

The direction that Granny Yan points to is the eight directions of Gankan Genzhen and Xunli Kundui in the gossip.Wherever the smoke went, it fueled the flames on those straw men.

The fire increased, and the smoke that had been blown to pieces was replenished, and quickly condensed again, blocking most of the ghost soldiers.

Granny Yan and the other party are like playing a game, one goes up and down, the other goes up and down.If I hadn't been in it, what I would have seen would be a mysterious war drama that cannot be seen in film and television dramas.

However, the protection formed by the smoke rope had been breached in several places before, and more than a dozen ghost soldiers had already broken through the smoke rope and rushed into Xiaoyao Valley.

The dozen or so ghost soldiers obviously received some kind of order. After breaking through the smoke rope, they rushed straight to the central Wujitu position on our side.

I didn't see it well, so I hurriedly took the Jianglong wooden sword and shouted: "Third Uncle, let's go, we can't let them rush over."

I have already understood that everything arranged by Granny Yan in Xiaoyao Valley must be arranged and deployed in a unified manner in the central Wujitu.Just like the shredded tobacco she added to the furnace just now, and then reinforced the tobacco rope.

And the opponent's purpose is also very simple, that is to rush to the central Wuji land and destroy everything. Once the central hub here is destroyed, the entire Xiaoyao Valley may no longer be able to defend against it.Because after all, our manpower is limited, and we rely on the geography of Xiaoyao Valley and Granny Yan's exquisite smoking control skills to resist.And if a large number of ghost soldiers on the other side rush in, they will drown us in an instant, leaving no bones left.

At that time, no matter how exquisite Taoism is, even if the gods come down to earth, I am afraid that they will not be able to make us retreat completely.

Now only a dozen or so ghost soldiers rushed in. If we fight with all our strength, we should still be able to kill the opponent.

Just when Fatty and I were holding the Dragon Subduing Wooden Sword and ready to go, the situation on the field suddenly changed again.

The ghost soldiers who were frantically attacking the defense line from all directions disappeared without a trace at that moment.

I was very surprised, thinking that the opponent started to retreat, but the retreat would not be so thorough.

This scene happened, but I found that Granny Yan did not relax at all. She still used the purple cloud pole to drive the smoke rising from this side to the direction of the Eight Diagrams.

And the grass man on the gossip seat, the fire of the three souls rising up, is still burning very vigorously, with a sound of sizzling.

At the same time, the dozen or so ghost soldiers who broke through Yansuo's line of defense also lost their traces at the same time.

I immediately understood that since they are called ghost soldiers, they are naturally based on ghosts.With Dao Xing's ghost, when he becomes a spirit body, he will freely control his body.When they face ordinary people, it can be said that they want you to see them, and you can see them.I don't want you to see them, your naked eyes can't find them.

This is why in some haunted houses, some people can see ghosts, while some people just find some abnormalities and cannot see the spirit body of ghosts.

As for us present, I don't know about Granny Yan's side, at least the three of us, including the third uncle, don't have yin and yang eyes yet.Even if we can activate the yin and yang eyes in a short period of time, such as dripping the eyes with cow tears, or using Taoism to open the eyes of the sky, etc.However, these all require a certain process.And the duration of yin and yang eyes will be very short.

Now the opponent's ghost soldier has completely concealed his body. In this case, we will lose the opponent's target when we face the enemy, and the situation is very unfavorable.

Granny Yan concentrated on manipulating the Five Elements and Five Beasts Stove, and worked hard to strengthen the smoke rope, but the dozen or so ghost soldiers who rushed in became a hidden danger for us.Now we can't see them, but they can see us.

To make matters worse, as the battle unfolded, the surrounding light was rapidly dimming.
