Chapter 1551 284_2
"Ah!!!"A scream echoed, and Wu Lan sprang upright, his arms flailing wildly.
Lin Shuyou immediately opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw the figure of a young boy standing at the door... Brother Xiao Yuan.
It was only then that Lin Shuyou suddenly realized: Right, Brother Xiao Yuan is nearby!
Logically, he shouldn't have ignored it, but he hadn't thought about it earlier.
Ah You thought he had hurt his head, but in reality, when faced with such a sudden situation, it's indeed easy to overlook things, even a military strategist sitting in a wheelchair with a feather fan can wield a knife and charge.
Behind Wu Lan was stuck an Evil-breaking Talisman, the talisman paper glowing red, scorching Wu Lan like a hot iron, while the surrounding fog churned and boiled violently.
The effect was so much stronger than when Lin Shuyou used the talisman earlier.
The reason was that Lin Shuyou stuck it on Wu Lan and Qian Ying, while the youth stuck it on the evil ghost possessing him.
Infuriated beyond measure, Wu Lan immediately released Lin Shuyou and charged at the youth, roaring.
Li Zhiyuan did not evade, but continued walking towards them, just as when he had pushed open the courtyard gate.
As Wu Lan reached Lin Shuyou, Li Zhiyuan lifted his right hand and pointed forward.
"Thud," Wu Lan directly knelt in front of Li Zhiyuan.
The youth casually waved his right hand, and Wu Lan was dragged and tossed out like trash by an invisible large hand.
This wasn't some kind of ability to control objects from a distance, but the evil ghost behind Wu Lan controlled his body, and Li Zhiyuan was catching the ghost itself.
Qian Ying, sitting on Lin Shuyou, paused in her movements, more terrified by the aura the youth had just emitted than by her companion being lightly tossed aside.
Ghosts near Fengdu are more worldly than those outside; that aura just now was enough to make ghosts around Fengdu tremble with fear.
She immediately stood up from Lin Shuyou, not rushing towards the youth but instead headed for the courtyard wall in the opposite direction.
But somehow, her body didn't obey her command; it turned on the spot and ran straight towards the youth.
The youth took out his small Compass, holding it up in front of him.
As Qian Ying approached, she slid and kneeled, seemingly voluntarily pressing her forehead against the Compass.
The Compass spun.
"Ah!!!"
A piercing scream echoed, as if enduring torture.
The Compass held a mysterious Copper Coin, used for calculations normally, but if the youth wished to unlock its restriction, most evil things in this world would not dare approach it, because this Copper Coin was even more malicious.
Soon, a wisp of black fog rose from behind Qian Ying as the evil ghost was completely annihilated.
Qian Ying's whole body tipped forward, face down, collapsing onto the ground. The body that had appeared somewhat normal before now exhibited massive corpse spots.
No need to check, she was dead beyond any doubt.
Li Zhiyuan walked up to Wu Lan, who was still kneeling on the ground after being thrown out by the youth—no choice in the matter.
The youth activated Walking Yin.
Behind Wu Lan stood a middle-aged man with a face distorted and hideous.
"I ask, you answer."
"I'll tell you everything, please spare me..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, a ball of Karmic Fire oozed from the youth's fingertips, enveloping the evil ghost and causing it to scream the most chilling wails.
After a while, the Karmic Fire dissipated, and the youth spoke again:
"I ask, you answer."
"Yes... what do you want to ask?"
After the inquiry, Li Zhiyuan gathered Karmic Fire in his palm again, grabbed the evil ghost's soul body, letting it completely disintegrate in the most painful state.
Patting his hands, the youth stood up and looked around at the still-present Ghost Fog, not in a hurry to disperse it.
This Ghost Fog could isolate the perception of ordinary people outside; it was still useful at the moment.
With Qian Ying and Wu Lan dead here, it wouldn't be easy to explain, whether dealing with the police or Mr. Zhai—quite a hassle.
Li Zhiyuan planned to have them send the two corpses back to the temple on the mountain top later; there's an old monk there, the instigator of all this.
Lin Shuyou struggled to get up, came closer, and with a face full of guilt said, "Brother Xiao Yuan, I..."
"Not injured, are you?"
"No, just a few scratches, no big deal."
"Did you ask Zhao Yi for that medicine pill?"
"He gave it to me as soon as I woke up, said it was very precious, and he also only had one left."
Originally, Lin Shuyou thought Brother Xiao Yuan would scold him for trying to be a hero in a bad state. He remembered Brother Bin mentioning that when they first went to university, Run Sheng was criticized by Brother Xiao Yuan for making such a mistake.
Surprisingly, Brother Xiao Yuan seemed not to intend to criticize him at all.
Li Zhiyuan walked to the couple standing still at the spot. He tiptoed, raised his arms, and lightly tapped their foreheads, then stuck the Heart Clearing Charm on them, letting them sleep well, and instructed Lin Shuyou:
"When the child wakes up, tell Him to extract the remaining ghost energy from these two and give them a good combing."
The child used to be an official, definitely good at this, but this ritual in the temple charges a fee, and quite expensive, so many times, the Yin God doesn't want to take such jobs.
"Okay, Brother Xiao Yuan, I've remembered."
"Room fee?"
"Brother Bin instructed me to leave it when departing."
"Hmm."
Lin Shuyou first dragged the homeowners back indoors to the bed, then placed Qian Ying and Wu Lan's bodies inside as well.
Li Zhiyuan reached out and dispersed the surrounding Ghost Fog.
He believed the ghost wasn't here for them.
After the battle with the three incense sticks that night, the Underworld probably wouldn't send people after them. If they did, they'd at least send a Ghost General or Ghost Commander, not such contemptible evil ghosts.
