final stage

As night falls, for some reason, there are no stars in the sky tonight, just a bright moon hanging lonely in the sky.

Yi Moran was drawing talismans in Gu's guest room, but her heart couldn't calm down no matter what.Seeing that the good talisman seals were being drawn one by one, he simply put away the cinnabar and stopped drawing.

It was only Xu time, Yi Moran didn't feel sleepy at all, he went out of the room and came to the courtyard.

This courtyard should be specially provided for guests to live in, the west side hall is where Yi Moran lives, and the east side hall is where Si Wudu lives.

He saw that the candles in the east side hall had been extinguished, and guessed that Si Wudu had already rested.Then he walked to the small pavilion in the yard by himself.

There are not too many decorations in the pavilion, only a few stone benches and a stone table.But Yi Moran thought it couldn't be better.

Because there are some bamboos planted around this pavilion, and there are a few clusters of unknown blooming flowers from time to time, so even if it is the end of summer, the surrounding area will not wither and look lonely.

The leisurely scene made him think of the days in Zhuyuan Temple.At that time, there was no chaos in the country, and there was no rush or impatience as the years changed.

At that time, I didn't meet Si Wudu...

Yi Moran shook his head with a wry smile, sat on the stone bench, reached out and took off the green jade hairpin, and then his black hair poured out.

He held the sapphire hairpin in his hand, and the sapphire was cold to the touch, but what he brought to Yi Moran was endless warmth.His clean and slender hands gently stroked every trace carved on the jade hairpin, and the carefully polished feeling was transmitted to his heart through his fingertips.

"Tomorrow, every tomorrow is so far away to me." Yi Moran softly said this sentence.

He knew that tomorrow he would personally face a resentful ghost in red.It doesn't matter how high my cultivation base is, it's the first time I'm out of customs when I'm young, I don't have any experience in dealing with ghosts, and all the classics I've read, when facing a real opponent, they all turn into empty words.

The road has come here, and I always want to make a breakthrough, not for myself but for the common people.Yi Moran was not overly entangled, but the sense of loss in her heart could not be ignored.

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Yi Moran finally stood up, but did not go back to the room to rest.Instead, he walked to the gate of the East Side Hall.

The current Yi Moran is only a door away from Si Wudu, but he didn't push the door open.

"I'm afraid, it's me..." Yi Moran said in a very soft tone. He knew that the people inside wouldn't listen, but he didn't know why, so he felt more at ease when he said it.He has a fear of tomorrow, but more of it is his determination and conviction to save the people in suffering.

He turned and walked away quietly.Back to the west side hall opposite to Si Wudu's room.

The so-called, nothing to say all night.

The next day, a group of people gathered in the front hall after having breakfast.

Gu Ruojin was still in the same outfit as yesterday, obviously not in the mood to choose clothes.Seeing Yi Moran and Si Wudu coming together, she seemed a little excited and stepped forward: "The two Taoists are ready?"

Yi Moran nodded lightly, his bun today is still Si Wuduwan's, and the green jade hairpin is still the same.

"Then how about we set off? It's better to go early to check the situation." Gu Ruojin suggested impatiently.

This radical and hasty move made Si Wudu involuntarily glance at her, but she didn't know it, she just stared at Yi Moran and waited for a reply.

"It's unlikely that the female ghost will come and go in the daytime. Let's take a look at the terrain and the situation now. Maybe we can set up a formation in advance." Yi Moran agreed, and Gu Ruojin smiled when he heard the words, and hurriedly urged Father leads the way.

City Lord Gu was not as happy as she was, nodded with a heavy heart, and walked out of Gu's residence first.

The carriages were still the two from yesterday. Considering that this was unlucky and Madam Gu had no ability to protect herself, Madam Gu was allowed to stay in the mansion.

"Master, I believe that you and everyone can return safely." Madam Gu didn't say much, only this simple sentence contained infinite love and trust.

Before Chengzhu stopped the carriage, regardless of the presence of others, he took Mrs. Gu's slender hand and held it tightly.The hearts of the two seem to be connected together.

Yi Moran on the side stared blankly at the scene, but his mind wandered to nowhere.If he was about to go to danger, would anyone be so worried about waiting for him?

Yi Moran felt that he was thinking nonsense again, so he quickly put aside this thought, and comforted them: "Although I dare not say that I will definitely capture the ghost, I will definitely be able to protect the safety of the city lord."

Mrs. Gu said a little embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't trust the priests, it's just that my husband doesn't know Taoism, and I'm afraid that I will drag the priests down. The daughter is still young, so I ask the priest to take care of her."

Yi Moran smiled slightly, and boarded the carriage behind, followed by Si Wudu.

Gu Chengzhu and his daughter took the same car, the servant did not follow, there were only two coachmen.Compared to when Gu Ruojin came back, she was much more low-key.

The journey this time was not long, but it was extremely heavy and slow.Even the walking horse seemed to slow down.

About to touch Sishi, a group of people arrived in front of the mysterious deserted village.

Everyone got out of the carriage, and what they saw was like this.The weeds on both sides grew up to the height of the waist, and the surrounding silence made people feel palpitations.

Ahead hung a faded red lantern on a lonely willow tree at the village entrance.

The candlelight of the lantern is very red, as bright as blood, and the light cannot be illuminated, it is very dark, and it can still be like this under the sun.Evil tight.

It was as if this bright red but dim lantern had overwhelmed the entire village.

Yi Moran said: "The lantern on the willow tree is very strange."

Gu Chengzhu looked back and forth, with a look of surprise on his face.He said: "Lantern? I didn't see a lantern. Please tell me what kind of lantern it is."

Yi Moran was a little surprised, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he hurriedly said: "Hanging on a lonely willow tree, the lantern is as bright red as blood, and the candlelight is dim and faint."

At this point, he came to his senses, his face changed greatly and he said in surprise: "It's the Jiufang Locking Ghost Talisman. It turns out that this village was originally..."

Gu Chengzhu listened with a blank face, and Si Wudu patiently explained: "The so-called Jiufang Locking Ghost Talisman, the paper pasted on the outside of the lantern is a kind of talisman, which is hung on the willow tree at the entrance of the village, which can make the whole village dark. The air sinks, thus locking the ghost within."

City Lord Gu nodded after hearing this: "It was probably set up by the surviving person five years ago. That's why this female ghost didn't cause harm to other places."

Yi Moran stepped forward and looked at the lantern hanging above the willow tree. He shook his head and said doubtfully, "No. A normal Nine Square Ghost Lock Talisman won't be dark red candlelight, it should be golden yellow."

Si Wudu also saw something was wrong, but he didn't speak.

But at this moment, he felt a puff of air blowing over his right face, and he heard a deep breathing sound, which Si Wudu was too familiar with, the breath of a ghost is so heavy, he felt something around him, turned his head and looked When I went there, I suddenly found a human head hanging in the air, and the hair hanging down was more than one meter long.

Yi Moran took a closer look, his pupils dilated, and he said loudly, "Wudu, run away, this is flying head down!"
