He didn't know if Old Man Sun was truly loyal, or if he was in a hurry to prove himself. Anyways, he did not finish shouting, and anxiously rushed towards Inside the house, it seemed like he wanted to interrupt the Possession.
He reached out his hand to grab Old Man Sun by the collar, instantly dragging him to the ground, and then placed a foot on the back of his neck.
I heard a crack like a broken bone. Old Man Sun screamed, but he only shouted out half because the little ghost quickly stomped his second leg, causing his mouth to cave into the ground.
While beating Old Man Sun up, he shouted loudly, "What trap? The old man was smart and knew everything. How could the things that he thought to be right be wrong? You are quite bold, you dare to say something wrong? I think you're courting death. If you want to die, don't implicate me. "
Having said that, the gatekeeper got even angrier, and the strength under his feet increased. I saw the soles of his shoes falling on Old Man Sun like raindrops. It seemed like he wouldn't be satisfied until he steps on the ground for ten thousand times.
Old Man Sun laid on the ground miserably. He was still breathing heavily, "A trap, this is a trap." However, his voice was now not only low but also unclear. Even if he heard it, he didn't know what he was talking about.
Originally, Old Man Sun's shout scared me to the point that I was covered in cold sweat. Seeing him being beaten up like this, I immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
I silently muttered in my heart: "Old Man Sun, it's not because I'm ruthless. You really don't know what's good for you. You don't have any grievances, and you want to hurt me. Now that you've been beaten up, isn't that what you deserve? Good and evil will always be rewarded. "
I raised my head and looked at the Inside the house. The possession did not stop, maybe the old man did not hear the noise at all.
I saw that the wisp of black gas had completely covered my body. Furthermore, it was slowly being poured in, leaving only a tail outside.
Mr. Zhao looked calm on the surface, and even had a smile on his face. However, I have been with him for too long, so I could feel that his body had already tensed up. As long as the possession was completed, he would shoot out like an arrow and accurately pierce the top of the skull.
I'm preparing, too. Waiting for the Mr. Zhao to trap the old man. I should control my body. This body is mine after all, so I can control it to a certain degree. Maybe I am unable to snatch the old man, but as long as I stay to the side and cause trouble, the Mr. Zhao will be able to take advantage of this and attack the old man heavily.
I was concentrating on Inside the house when I suddenly felt my vision blur. Then, a soul quickly ran in.
I was stunned for a moment, and realised that it was the soul of the Old Man Sun. He came out of the flesh, screaming to break possession.
The little demon gatekeeper was also startled, he did not expect the Old Man Sun to use such a move, and by the time he wanted to stop the Old Man Sun again, it was already too late.
I secretly complained, but there was nothing I could do. I could only watch as Old Man Sun charged to the side of the body and shouted into its ear, "Old man, quickly come out. This body is a trap. The soul inside is not his, and the true soul is in my hands … "
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Mr. Zhao. The Old Man Sun screamed as he fell at the corner of the wall.
Old Man Sun didn't know if he was alive or dead, but at this time, who would care about his life? After Mr. Zhao kicked Old Man Sun away, he pierced the needle into the top of his body. As for whether the possession was over, he did not care anymore.
The Small Week was the closest to the Mr. Zhao, but he had no time to react to all the things that had happened in the blink of an eye. When he finally realised that the Mr. Zhao was going to harm the old man, the steel needle had already pierced into his flesh.
The Small Week roared in anger and rushed towards him. But it was useless, Mr. Zhao kicked him flying as well.
The guard hesitated for a moment before turning around and running away.
It seemed that the level of one's position directly determined one's loyalty to the elderly.
After the Old Man Sun fell, the horse beside me struggled violently. With a burst of brute force, it actually managed to pull the stake out of the ground, and then turned around and ran.
It ran very happily, very excitedly, and very quickly. This scene reminded me of two sentences. One day: The tree falls and the monkeys scatter. The second day: Ten thousand kinds of freedom.
But soon the words were gone from my mind, replaced by the third: Pull the turnip out of the mud.
The horse is the man who pulls out the radish, the post is the radish, and I am the mud on the radish.
The red belt was still tied to the hitching post, so the situation was that the horse was dragging the hitching stake while I stumbled after it. My speed wasn't as fast as a galloping horse, not to mention that I was tied to a red belt and my hands and feet weren't as agile. Very quickly, I was pulled down.
The horse circled a yard and I was slammed against the wall. I heard a loud crash, and my body felt like it had collapsed. It hit the brick floor hard, and then I fell to the ground.
A few seconds later, I was able to get up from the ground. At this moment, regardless of whether it was his arms or legs, they were all in excruciating pain.
I shook my head. To my surprise, I found that the red belt had already been torn apart and was lying not far away from me. I stood up in surprise and thought to myself: What a blessing. Although he was almost dragged to death by this horse, at least he had regained his freedom.
Then I hurried back to the little temple.
I don't want to go back, but I have to. If I am not present, Mr. Zhao may not be able to control the old man.
But when I rushed over, I found that the Mr. Zhao was tying up my body. Naturally, the old man trapped inside would not be able to come out.
Puzzled, I asked Mr. Zhao, "Are you that powerful?"
Mr. Zhao started to brag, "Of course. Eldest Nephew, I normally do not reveal my true self. If today was not by chance, you would not be able to see me unleashing my divine might. Hehe, ordinary people don't have this kind of luck. "Since we are relatives, I won't ask for your admission ticket."
I rolled my eyes and replied, "Forget about you." If you were that formidable, why would you beat around the bush with the elder? Shouldn't we just capture him? "
The Mr. Zhao scratched his head and stuttered as he thought of a few reasons. He felt that the logic did not quite follow him, and finally said: "About this, actually, the old man was rather weak when he tried to seize another's body, if I'm accurate, it could be successful."
I nodded and asked the Mr. Zhao, "How do you plan to deal with this old man? Let's quickly finish our business and return to the human world. This place is really weird, so I feel completely uncomfortable. "
The Mr. Zhao said, "Don't worry, we'll do it first …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the idol on the altar say, "I think you tricked me."
When I heard this, I subconsciously thought that it was the old man speaking again. I shuddered. But I soon realized that it was Erhu's voice.
Mr. Zhao said, "How did I lie to you?"
Erhu said: "You said, find me a good place to enjoy the incense. But is this a good place? This place isn't even human, where did this incense come from? "
Mr. Zhao said, "Although this place is not a mortal world, there is still a little incense. Er Hu, you better not be too greedy."
They were bickering when someone tugged at the corner of my shirt.
I looked down and saw that it was an old man. He struggled to reach out a finger from the layers of binding, hooked it around the hem of my shirt, and whispered with difficulty, "You've been tricked by him."
I looked at the old man vigilantly, not knowing what he was planning to do.
The old man sighed with an anxious expression on his face. He didn't look like an old monster that had lived for many years.
He whispered, "You guys have been tricked by him. I'm the fool. Possession did not succeed. "
My heart jolted. Looking at the deity statue that was arguing with the Mr. Zhao, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something wasn't right.
My body continued to whisper, "I exchanged souls with that old monster, so I know his situation. Just now, he had been interrupted in that critical moment. He had suffered quite a few injuries, and a portion of his soul had also scattered about in this temple. Right now, he couldn't catch his breath, so he was stalling for time. When that wisp of soul returns to him, he will no longer be afraid of us, and we will all die. Tell the one surnamed Zhao to kill that fake Erhu right away. "
I hesitated. Was the words spoken by his physical body true or false? If it is true, then we are indeed in danger, but what if it is false?
I walked over to Mr. Zhao's side and dragged him to a corner of the wall as I whispered to him.
After the Mr. Zhao heard this, his expression did not change much. He said in a low voice, "I knew it. However, I still don't know which one is the so-called 'Erhu' and which is the so-called 'old person'. "
I anxiously asked, "Then what do we do?" Do you want to tie both of them up? "
The Mr. Zhao said, "It's very difficult. Ordinary methods would not be able to tie them up at all. They were all things to be taken care of. After he recovered, he used all his strength to break free. Or we can kill both of them while he's weak. Or we can concentrate on running away. Alas, I can feel that the old man indeed has a wisp of his soul scattered within the temple. This will be troublesome, even if the one in the physical body is him, it will be hard for us to trap him. On the 9th day, should we kill or run?
I hesitated. Logically speaking, Erhu's death should have been a relief for me, but did he really commit the crime of certain death?
Mr. Zhao patted my shoulder and said, "Don't even think about it, I know you won't be able to bear it. Moreover, this Erhu is still useful and it would be best if he kept it. So I've already chosen it for you. Let's study it and run away. "
I looked at him in bewilderment. "Since you already wanted to escape, why fight with the soul inside the deity statue?" Isn't this a waste of time? "
Mr. Zhao laughed. "Don't worry, I'm also stalling for time, I'm looking for a way to escape."
I don't know what route to find in this temple. I kept looking out of the temple anxiously, wishing that I could run out right now. However, Mr. Zhao told me: "It's useless even if we leave now. With that old man's power, even if we run twenty miles away, he can catch us and bring us back."
I asked the Mr. Zhao, "So? How are you going to escape? "
The Mr. Zhao said, "I have already found the route. You don't have to be impatient right now. Aren't you curious about who the real old man is? Do you want to watch the show? "
I said, "I'm not in the mood."
I don't want to stay here for even a second longer. Since Mr. Zhao wants to court death, then I will escape by myself. Just as I was about to slip away, I saw my body suddenly jump up. His face had a ferocious expression as he said to me, "You … you are the real owner of this body, right?"
My heart sank. "Alright, now I finally know who is the old man. It seems like he has recovered. "
