Beside the courtyard gate, several people were going crazy.
Chen Yun's thoughts became heavy all of a sudden.
He really wanted to go forward and save these few people one by one.
But he was also extremely afraid of death, fearing that once he advanced to a certain range, he might fall into a frenzy like Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Fang Guanshi and others.
Chen Yun still remembers what Zhang Qian said that ghosts kill people in a state of invisibility.
Indeed, seeing the madness of these few people in front of him was the first time he felt how formidable ghosts could be.
Had six or seven people been tricked as soon as this gate opened?
Most crucially, by comparing with what Gentleman Wu had said before, Chen Yun could analyze that this ghost seems to be even more powerful than three months ago.
Why do I say this?
Because no matter six months ago, or three months ago, the people of Wu family could still retreat safely even if they saw ghosts.
It is evident that back then, the ghosts had the ability to create illusions, but they couldn't affect a person's mind or intellect.
However, the situation is somewhat different now.
Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, Li Si, Fang Guanshi, and Wu Lü, Wu Yóu were already in a state of madness.
This must not be a deception of illusions, but a spiritual form of confusion.
"Before ensuring my own safety, I cannot act recklessly."
Chen Yun did not immediately rush forward to save people, but instead retreated two steps and observed the situation more carefully.
Suddenly, he saw some small sand and pebbles by the roadside.
Chen Yun's heart stirred.
Let's see if throwing some sand and pebbles can wake up Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and others.
He bent down, picked up a few small stones, aimed them, and threw them towards Lin Chen's nape.
Tap.
The first throw's force was not enough, and it landed on Lin Chen's heel, not touching him at all.
Feeling helpless, Chen Yun had to pick up another small stone again.
He aimed and threw again, this time with more force.
Whoosh.
The small stone made a sound of slicing through the air.
Bang!
A dull thud was heard.
Lin Chen's head was slightly askew, and his back was broken, but he still had no response. He even smiled and said, "Since the ghost has been killed, let's all follow me inside and take a look."
Li Si nodded, "That's good."
Zhang Qian's face contorted. "We must root out the grass to the bottom. Let us go inside to see what caused this place to produce a ghost, and solve it from the root."
Fang Guanshi stretched out his hand and said, "Gentlemen, let me lead the way."
After that, these few people moved, looking dazed and walking straight into the house.
This time, Chen Yun became anxious and shouted loudly, "Master Li, Master Zhang, Master Lin, wake up quickly!"
Just then, the few people turned a deaf ear and continued to walk inside.
In an instant, Fang Guanshi and the others had crossed the threshold and entered the house.
Fuck!
Chen Yun wanted to swear!
Based on the current situation of the ghosts, will these few people who enter the courtyard all lose their lives?
Chen Yun knew that he was helpless. It was better to survive than to follow them to certain death.
"No, I can't just watch them die. If necessary, I will go back to the Taoist temple and ask Wang Laozhi to come out. He is a master-level person, and it would be easy for him to deal with ghosts."
Chen Yun turned around and was about to leave from here.
But just as he was about to turn around, he saw Wu Lü jump into the pond on the left side of the courtyard gate!
Puff!
It caused a splash of water.
You should know that it's early spring, and the night temperature is several degrees below zero.
If this person stays in the cold water for a long time, they will certainly perish.
Chen Yun was not a saint, but he couldn't just stand by and watch a living life disappear.
But he had no ability to save her, and he was extremely conflicted for a moment.
What should we do?
How should I handle it?
Chen Yun's expression became changeable, shifting between sunny and cloudy.
He wanted to return to the Taoist temple for help, but he was afraid that if he went back and forth, it would take too long. By the time he returned, everyone might be dead. Not only would he not be able to save them, but he might also anger Wang Laozhi and other people and get kicked out of the Taoist temple.
This is not an impossible event.
Chen Yun had accompanied Lin Chen and others to accept a private order, resulting in the deaths of several people, while he himself had nothing. There was a 70-80% chance that he would be blamed.
He had worked hard to come into contact with the sacred and had hope to ask for immortality. How could he lose such an opportunity?
So what should one do then?
Chen Yun fell into deep thought.
At first, he really didn't think of a solution.
But after a moment, he suddenly thought of something.
During the Chinese New Year, Wang Laozhi and Zheng Wensun, two of the top-ranking leaders of the Taoist temple, other than Zhongliyu, had visited himself and Li Si during the festival.
Zheng Wensun had given him a "Jing Xin Fu" on their first meeting.
Chen Yun remembered that Wang Laozhi had said that the calm mind talisman could not only keep a person's mind clear but could also be unaffected by the influence of ordinary ghosts and monsters.
"Could it be that I didn't fall under the influence because I stood far away, it's thanks to the calm mind talisman?"
Chen Yun had a dim understanding of something.
The strong gust of wind that just blew past must have been an attack by the evil ghost.
The others, without the calm mind talisman to protect them, naturally fell into a state of hallucination.
He felt that there was a possibility, and Wang Laozhi was a master-level person. What he called "ordinary ghosts" must have been different from what ordinary people think.
So, the calm mind talisman should be able to block the evil ghost's illusion without any problem.
Thinking of this, he took out the calm mind talisman from his pocket and looked at it.
This is better not to look at.
Not looking was better, but upon a glance, Chen Yun was startled to find that the calm mind talisman was emitting a faintly clear light.
"The calm mind talisman is indeed effective!"
He roughly knew that with the calm mind talisman, he wouldn't fall into an illusion.
However, Chen Yun was very cautious and did not rush in directly.
He needed to try it first to be sure.
Chen Yun retreated a distance.
One meter.
The calm mind talisman is emitting light.
Three meters.
The calm mind talisman is still emitting light.
Five meters.
The clear light on the calm mind talisman suddenly went out.
Oh, it turns out the range of the evil ghost's attack is about seven or eight meters outside the house.
That's why there are no people living nearby the two households. Perhaps they have seen the ghost and have moved away from here.
After Chen Yun figured out that he had not fallen into the attack of the evil ghost because of distance issues, he was somewhat confident.
This time, he no longer hesitated. With the calm mind talisman in his palm, he strode confidently towards the courtyard.
Step by step.
Two steps.
In no time, he crossed the threshold and entered the courtyard, and the clear light of the calm mind talisman was even more brilliant.
Chen Yun felt that his palm was like a small lantern.
At this point, he was not affected at all, but he felt increasingly cold both physically and spiritually.
"Not falling into an illusion is enough."
Chen Yun didn't care about it. He wanted to save the person in the pond right now.
Unexpectedly, as he took a few more steps, a sudden change occurred!
Ripples of air were stirred in front of his eyes.
Next, the scenery before his eyes flashed.
Suddenly, the surroundings became eerie, and the moonlight disappeared instantly.
The entire world plunged into darkness, with the wind howling continuously.
Chen Yun stopped his steps immediately and vigilantly looked ahead.
Suddenly!
A pale ghostly face suddenly appeared!
The ghost's face was twisted in the air, with two rows of bloody tears hanging in his eyes, and his mouth opened and closed as if he was saying something.
Chen Yun was startled at first sight, thinking he had fallen into an illusion.
Chen Yun quickly pinched his thigh.
Ouch!
Pain!
The pinch was too tight, and Chen Yun's tears came out.
"It seems that I haven't fallen into an illusion."
He had a judgment immediately.
Why?
Why? Just now, when I hit Lin Chen's back of the head with a small stone, his head was broken and he didn't say a word. It is obvious that he has fallen into an illusion. People will be blocked from some senses.
And for himself, being pinched on the thigh causes severe pain, which makes it unlikely that he has fallen into an illusion.
In addition, there is another point that can prove that I haven't fallen into an illusion.
Chen Yun saw the ghostly face floating in the air, opening and closing its mouth, but he couldn't hear any sound.
According to his experience from watching horror movies in his previous life, the ghostly face opening and closing its mouth must be a sign of the ghost crying out and howling to destroy his mind.
Just as sound needs to be produced by vibration, if one is under an illusion, the so-called sounds should be mental illusions, and nothing should be heard.
Therefore, Chen Yun could judge that he had not fallen into an illusion, but had entered a phantom realm.
To put it simply, visual deception.
Previously, when discussing ghosts with Zhang Qian and Li Si, they had also said that ghosts usually have two attack methods. One is to let people fall into an illusion, and the other is to create a phantom realm.
The calm mind talisman can keep one's mind clear, but it cannot affect the vision.
"Therefore, I have fallen into a phantom realm?"
Chen Yun found it somewhat interesting.
As long as he hasn't fallen into an illusion, he is not afraid of mere visual deception.
After all, if one loses vision, there are still touch and auditory senses available.
As long as he can find the location of the evil ghost, he should be able to solve the problem.
The problem now is, how to find the hiding place of the evil ghost when vision is lost?
Chen Yun knew that he needed to think.
