Chapter 599: Shocked, are the relationships in your circle so complicated?
She raised her hand and gently stroked the long hair hanging down from her temples. The corner of her eyes swept across the sandalwood ruler in Ye Bai's hand, revealing a strange look.
That look is very similar...
The playful and amusing look at the prey is like appreciating a fine work of art.
Ye Bai's heart suddenly tightened.
The next second, the old woman waved her cane at him again.
Ye Bai quickly propped himself up and dodged.
He turned his wrist, and the wooden ruler drew an elegant arc in the air, hitting the back of the old woman's neck.
The old woman staggered two steps and fell to the ground.
Ye Bai took a deep breath, adjusted his disordered breathing, and prepared to pursue the victory.
But at this moment, smoke suddenly emerged from the coffin.
The mist surged rapidly as if being pulled by something, blowing the coffin lid away, and then exploded into powder with a "bang".
The thick and pungent irritating gas came all over the place, causing the temperature around to rise instantly.
Ye Bai suppressed the urge to cough and looked forward with wide eyes.
I saw the corpse of an elderly woman sitting in the coffin, wrapped in thick white cloth.
She was wearing a luxurious and complicated palace dress, with a bun on her head and jewels on her hairpins.
Although her face is blurry, one can still vaguely make out her graceful and stunning beauty when she was young.
Ye Bai was slightly stunned.
Before he could come to his senses, he felt a chill spreading from the soles of his feet to his whole body, making him shiver several times.
Ye Bai subconsciously took a few steps back, staring warily at the coffin covered with white cloth, trying to figure out its origins and the danger hidden within.
The coffin was completely silent. Apart from the chill in the air, there was no movement at all.
Ye Bai frowned slightly and looked at it warily.
at this time--
"Click."
A strange and fragmented sound was heard.
Ye Bai turned his head and followed the source of the sound, only to see that the coffin lid, which was already broken beyond repair, had actually moved open a gap by itself!
The thing inside the coffin seemed to be aware of the presence of a living person.
There were more and more cracks on the coffin lid, and finally it exploded with a bang.
"Boom!!"
The coffin trembled violently, and then a ball of black mist flew out and landed at Ye Bai's feet.
It looked hideous, like a ghost, emitting strong resentment and hostility, and its pair of dark red eyes stared intently at the human standing next to the coffin.
"Ah!" It raised its head and howled angrily, as if it wanted to bite a living person, and pounced on him with its fangs and claws bared.
Ye Bai reacted very quickly and pulled out the wooden candlestick placed next to him and threw it at the evil spirit.
The evil ghost was hit hard on the face by the candlestick. It took a half step back in pain, then pounced forward ferociously, its sharp fangs flashing with a cold light.
Ye Bai dodged sideways nimbly, raised his leg and kicked the evil ghost, using the force to leap ten meters away to create distance between them.
"Ouch——"
The evil ghost roared and rushed over madly, as if determined to devour Ye Bai.
Ye Bai picked up the candle on the table, lit it with a tinder, and then threw it out.
The evil ghost was set on fire and screamed as it fled everywhere, but it could not get rid of its burnt skin, so it rolled and struggled in the thick smoke.
At this time, the old woman slowly got up and walked over.
Ye Bai stared at her warily, ready for battle.
Unexpectedly, the old woman just approached slowly and did not attack.
She lowered her head, stretched out her skinny and shriveled hands, held up the evil ghost's head, looked at it carefully, and moved her mouth a few times.
Ye Bai: “?”
Could it be that...she knows a ghost?
"Ouch~"
The evil ghost rolled on the ground, wailing miserably and screaming at the top of his lungs.
Ye Bai felt horrified when he heard this, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.
The old woman suddenly squatted down, hugged the evil spirit, and rubbed it affectionately, seeming to like this little guy very much.
Ye Bai: “…”
The evil ghost was quiet for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a sad and angry wolf howl.
The old woman was startled and quickly let go of the evil spirit, which fell to the ground.
The old woman looked at the evil spirit with a loving look, and patted its head as if to comfort a child. "Don't be angry... Be good, sister will find you some new clothes to change into. I promise they will be prettier than before."
The evil ghost ignored the old woman's words and continued to roll on the ground, crying in extreme sorrow.
"Alas." The old woman sighed, her tone full of regret, "I really can't bear to leave you..."
Ye Bai: “???”
She was completely confused and had no idea what the relationship was between the old woman and the evil spirit.
While he was stunned, the old woman picked up the evil ghost again and walked to the other end.
"Wait a minute!" Ye Bai quickly stopped her and reminded her, "There's an old woman lying in that coffin. Aren't you going to save her?"
He pointed to the coffin, and there was indeed an old man lying inside.
"No~"
The old woman shook her head, a hint of cunning in her smiling expression.
"Afu doesn't allow me to touch other people...especially men, otherwise I will be punished..."
Upon hearing this, the evil ghost let out a mournful cry, then pushed Ye Bai away and ran to the side of the coffin.
The silver hairpin in the coffin suddenly burst out with a faint blue phosphorous fire, burning the black mist around the evil spirit and making a sizzling sound.
Ye Bai glanced at the corpse wrapped in white cloth and saw that it slowly raised its right hand, with its rotten fingertips pointing at his forehead.
"Beware!"
The old woman suddenly screamed and rushed over, her face like dry bark almost touching Ye Bai's nose.
The distorted figure of the evil spirit was reflected in her cloudy eyes.
"Afu's resentment will penetrate into his bones..."
Before he finished speaking, the black mist floating out of the coffin had condensed into a spider web and stuck to the back of Ye Bai's neck.
Ye Bai reached back to pull it, but felt his palm full of ice chips.
The black mist actually crystallized into tiny ice spikes on the skin, penetrating into the flesh through the pores.
He grabbed the bronze wine cup on the altar and smashed it against the coffin. The dark green copper rust fell off, revealing the dense cinnabar runes on the inner wall.
The evil spirit suddenly whimpered like a baby.
The old woman's whole body trembled, and her hunched back made a crisp sound like a bamboo joint breaking.
She trembled as she untied the laces of her faded skirt, revealing her palm-sized breasts.
The cicada wings were vibrating at a strange frequency, fitting perfectly with the sunken wound on the neck of the female corpse in the coffin.
"Two thousand years..."
The old woman used her fingernails to scratch the patina on the surface of the jade cicada, and bright red blood dripped onto the pearl necklace wrapped in the hair of the female corpse.
The pearls suddenly came alive and rolled around, forming half of a star map at the bottom of the coffin.
Ye Bai felt the sandalwood ruler in his palm suddenly become hot, and the Big Dipper appearing on the ruler's surface completely coincided with the arrangement of the pearls.
The evil ghost's howling suddenly turned into shrill laughter.
Silvery liquid gushed from its rotting eye sockets, winding in meandering streams across the ground.
Ye Bai was about to step back when he discovered that the liquid was climbing along the pattern on the soles of his boots.
The same patterns as the cinnabar talismans in the coffin were etched on the surface of the leather boots.
The old woman suddenly grabbed his wrist, and her skinny fingertips pressed precisely on the seventh star pattern on the handle of the ruler.
Suddenly, a spiderweb-like blue light appeared at the bottom of the coffin.
Ye Bai staggered back half a step, and the fill light on the mobile phone holder cast a huge shadow on the wall.
