Chapter 106 105. Planting Sophora japonica trees at the door
puff!
Three blue lights suddenly lit up, and the Ruyi Trident pierced through the chest of a person who was rushing over, bringing up a puff of hot blood.
Then he continued to move forward with unabated momentum, sweeping out the corpse that was surrounded by Yin Fire.
The sound of flesh being beaten by some heavy weapon, along with wailing, reached the ears, and the three people who rushed forward were swept away at a faster speed.
Everyone's eyelids twitched when they saw this.
"What kind of magical power is this?"
Those who had managed to dodge the halberd's swing felt their scalps tingle and quickly retreated.
However, Ding Chou God had no intention of letting them go.
The Ruyi trident in his hand shot out like a dragon, and the strong wind it created blew away the black flower spirits around it. Three points of cold light chased after it like flying arrows.
The man who was locked by the Ruyi Trident had fear in his eyes. He quickly made hand gestures and a tiger shape condensed by the Gengjin Energy leaped out from the man.
Unfortunately, under the suppression of the haunted house, the tiger turned into a sick cat and was unable to block the stab of the Ruyi Trident. As expected, he was stabbed through the heart.
The life force in his eyes quickly disappeared, and the blue Yin Fire wrapped around the halberd immediately swirled up, burning the entire corpse into black ash, which fell to the ground with a puff.
In the blink of an eye, he killed two people, repelled three people, and forced the remaining people to retreat.
The people around who were preparing to retreat from the gate to the courtyard were shocked.
Especially when they saw that Ding Chou God's attack did not stop there, the blue flames wrapped around his hands were swung out, turning into several chains in the air, whistling and flying towards the retreating people.
"We have stopped, but you are still so aggressive. It's really too much!" Seeing the flaming chains flying over, a man glared and roared.
Xu Qing was unmoved, he just picked up a Liujia Chilei Talisman, the power of thunder and lightning with a breath of destruction made people secretly frightened.
At the same time, a doubt ran through everyone's mind. Why was everyone's magic suppressed by the haunted house, but this guy seemed unaffected?
Of course Xu Qing was also affected.
However, the twelve guardian gods in the body are the dharma forms of practitioners with great supernatural powers, and they possess the will of righteous gods. This strange and mysterious haunted house cannot completely suppress them.
The several people who were forced to retreat had nowhere to retreat.
If he retreated any further, he would come into direct contact with the locust tree branches pouring in from the door, so he gritted his teeth, changed his retreating posture, avoided the flaming chains, and rushed towards Xu Qing and the other two again.
Unexpectedly, the flaming chains suddenly turned at this moment, and tied up those people in one fell swoop. Once the cold blue flame touched them, it would wrap around them like a sacrificial altar.
The wailing sound suddenly rang out.
The Yin Fire began to spread from the inside, and blue flames shone through the eyes, ears, mouths and noses of those people, burning their bones and internal organs, burning their flesh and tendons.
Those people used their magic power to fight against the Yin Fire burning in their bodies, but they forgot that this was not a situation where the two sides were fighting.
When these people were surrounded by the Yin Fire, the black flower spirits around them rushed over fearlessly.
For a moment, the Yin Fire burned on those people and the Black Flower Spirit at the same time, and soon both sides became silent.
The eyes of Ding Chou God, which were wrapped in blue flames, turned, and wherever his eyes passed, everyone else avoided their gazes.
Xu Qing ignored what those people were thinking. He looked at the locust tree branches coming towards him. His eyes flashed, and he drove the Ding Chou God to meet them to see if he could deal with the locust tree.
Fire overcomes wood, and Ding Chou God has certain divine qualities, naturally restraining evil spirits, and perhaps he can break through this locust tree. When the other people who were retreating to the courtyard surrounded by the black flower spirits saw this scene, hope shone in their eyes. The strength of this flame warrior just now was obvious to everyone.
Ding Chou God stepped forward, and the Ruyi trident wrapped in flames stabbed out fiercely. With a "puff", three charred holes appeared on the locust tree branch, which was as hard as iron and even the flying sword could not leave a mark on it.
But before everyone could show joy, a vast and righteous aura emanated and flowed on the branches of the locust tree, and the three charred holes disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, countless giant python-like locust tree branches rushed towards Ding Chou God from all directions.
Xu Qing felt the vast and upright aura, and doubts welled up in his heart. Why did the locust tree standing in front of the haunted house have such a pure and righteous aura?
At this moment, an allusion suddenly came to his mind -
Legend has it that in the era when humans and gods lived together in this world, there was a king named "Wu". He wanted to summon all the ghosts and gods in the world, but was afraid that there might be some fakes among them with ulterior motives, so he asked for advice from his assistant minister "Tai Gong".
"Tai Gong" requested to plant locust trees inside the king's gate, so that those who were useful could enter and those who were not could be kept away.
In myths and legends, locust trees have the property of guarding the door and warding off evil spirits. Could it be that this locust tree is not part of the haunted house, but was erected to seal off the haunted house?
Such a thought flashed through Xu Qing's mind, and his heart skipped a beat. He felt that the current situation was becoming increasingly difficult.
If this is really what he thought, then Ding Chou God may not have much restraining effect in front of this locust tree! Even if Jia Zi God is released together, it is very likely that he still cannot break through the locust tree that is blocking the door!
the other side.
The Buddhist monk in white and Captain Luo dealt with the ghost guarding the lobby door.
"Is this a paper man?" Captain Luo held up a lantern and shone it on the bamboo branches and human skin paper scattered on the ground.
The Buddhist disciple in white robes looked thoughtful.
"Master, what's wrong?" Captain Luo shifted his gaze from the paper man to the Buddhist disciple in white.
"There's something wrong with this paper figurine." The Buddhist in white looked around. "When we destroyed it, I could feel that the entire haunted house suddenly became active."
"This feeling is like waking up from a deep sleep, or in other words, the owner of an ownerless thing is returning?!"
When Captain Luo heard what the Buddhist monk in white said, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "The owner of the haunted house?"
"Yes." There was a golden light flashing in the eyes of the white-robed Buddhist, as if he was deducing the situation here through some method, "Captain Luo, we have to move faster."
"And the mission may have to change. Not only must we destroy the body of Patriarch Tao, but we must also prevent this haunted house from reviving."
Captain Luo's expression became extremely solemn.
"Let's go." The Buddhist disciple in white took the lead, walked over the remains of the paper man on the ground, and walked into the lobby.
The lobby of the haunted house is similar to the atrium lobby of an ordinary house, with two armchairs on the left and right, and six chairs on each side from the top.
Eight pillars support the roof, and on the pillars are eight Changxin Palace lanterns with red candles burning on them, illuminating the hall.
This is a normal arrangement except that the space is larger.
Behind the lobby, there are corridors on the left and right sides leading to the east and west courtyards, as well as the inner house.
Large red lanterns were hung in the corridor, emitting a faint and creepy light, outlining a passage of alternating light and darkness.
The Buddhist disciples in white robes held lanterns and looked carefully at the hall.
Surprisingly, two tablets were seen between the two uppermost armchairs.
