I rolled off the bed, pushed open the door, and what I saw was Wei Youming standing there at the entrance of the room filled with talismans.
The disciples of Yunjin Mountain stared at him in panic, as if facing a great enemy.
As I opened the door, another door creaked open, and Tang Wu She stepped out, stopping in front of Wei Youming.
"There is a patient here," Wei Youming spoke first, his tone cold.
Tang Wu frowned, saying nothing.
On the Juqu Mountain, Wei Youming actually appeared, but at that time, he had to do his best to keep the teacher and apprentice of Wuling from leaving. Tang Wu was also chasing outside, and they barely met.
At the beginning in Jinyang, Tang Wu was the first one to tell me that Wei Youming was going mad.
"Yo... You're beyond cure," Tang Wu shook his head.
"He's beyond cure, you're just using this method to drink poison to stop thirst," Wei Youming spoke unusually longer.
Wei Youming never spoke like this when facing Zhang Zhiyi.
At that time, Zhang Zhiyi's problem was very serious, and even the entire out-of-mountain diviners of Tiezha Mountain went to find him.
During that time, when Wu Chiqing was involved, Wei Youming intervened to capture the soul and spirit back.
In a moment, Jin Luan, Shen Xiao, He You Tian, Si Yan, Mao Sheng and their disciples almost all came out.
"I can't cure him, but I can alleviate his symptoms. His soul is already beyond saving," Wei Youming added.
"Tang Lao, listen to the ghost chief. If the soul can't be kept, it will cause trouble. Then, you won't even find your ghostly shadow," Lao Gong shouted loudly.
Tang Wu was indifferent to Lao Gong's reminder.
"I know your dangerous jail can limit the range. You said you can treat him, but it's just about taking him away. Over time, he'll be like a living corpse," Tang Wu's words made me even more frightened.
His qualifications indeed are old enough, and he can even recognize Wei Youming's methods at a glance.
"The Yunjin Mountain has its way. If there is truly no solution, I will inform the spirit to appear. At this time, it is still not necessary to involve ghosts," Tang Wu shook his head again.
Wei Youming then disappeared.
Tang Wu is not overly stern, but he has a clear boundary with Wei Youming.
The disciples of Yunjin Mountain slightly eased up, but their looks at me, without exception, carried vigilance and caution.
Actually, everyone is like this.
Only He You Tian, Si Yan, Wu Jinluan, Shen Xiao, and Jin Luan and others had enough trust in me.
Even Mao Sheng was worried, but since Juqu Mountain has always been busy, he hadn't shown it before.
To be in league with ghosts, especially ghosts of this level, it's only natural for a normal person to fear retribution.
This was just a small incident. I apologized to Tang Wu and bowed, then retreated to my room, with the others returning to their own rooms.
No other unexpected incidents occurred that night.
The next morning, when I left the room, I saw several tables in the courtyard, with all kinds of food on them. The courtyard gate was open, and there were cars parked outside. The Qiang people from Guqiang City had arrived.
The room with the talismans sealed open, and one person walked out.
This man had a straight eyebrow and bright eyes, was in his forties, had a few strands of gray hair at the temples, and looked extremely emaciated. The top of his forehead was dark, with some blood vessels faintly visible. You could see that the skin on his body was marked with a talisman.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a wooden box inside the room. It was not a coffin, but the box was covered with talismans. Looking at it for a few seconds made one feel as if their soul was being suppressed.
The disciples of Yunjin Mountain all looked much more respectful.
The man didn't say a word, walked to a spot, sat down, and started eating his food.
"The method of Yunjin Mountain is quite good, this is aged peach wood from last year. At night, people will lose their souls. Being inside this peach wood, all the cracks are sealed with talismans, so he can't come out. It's just that it's quite uncomfortable for the person," Wu Jinluan whispered in my ear: "It's still a matter of strength and mental state. The Golden Wheel elder is more stable in his heart. His soul loss won't be too far, and he can control it himself. I think Yunjin Mountain brought him here to see if he can improve his realm a bit. If the strength increases, the body and soul will always be more stable."
I nodded slightly, without saying much.
Soon, He You Tian and Si Yan also came out.
The man looked up at Si Yan for a moment, then lowered his head again, as if indifferent.
After everyone finished eating, they followed Liu Ziyu to get on the bus.
It was still quite a distance to Guqiang City, and there were mountain roads to travel.
There was a small incident. Liu Ziyu separated my and Wu Jinluan's seats, making Wu Jinluan and Si Yan, as well as He You Tian, sit in one car, while I was with the people from Juqu Mountain in another.
Liu Ziyu had some thoughts for Si Yan, and since one car was one seat short, he asked Wu Jinluan to switch places with him. Mao Sheng and the others were even happier to be able to travel with me.
It's nothing wrong with that itself.
But I do have a strange feeling about it.
Since I got on the bus, I feel a bit disoriented.
Mao Sheng kept chatting with me, talking about some situations of Juqu Mountain, even saying that after careful consideration, he decided to let his disciples temporarily leave the mountain gate and find a safer place.
I nodded, made a few polite remarks, implying that his decision was correct.
The environment outside the window changed. The road with multiple tunnels on both sides of the mountain became a road with steep cliffs on one side and a cliff on the other.
That sense of disarray and unease with my mind was extreme.
I opened the window first. The cold air hit my face, but it still didn't calm me down.
"I shouted, "Stop!"
"How is it, Master Luo?" the Qiang driver who was driving didn't stop the car but turned to ask me.
"Stop!" I emphasized my voice!
"This is a slope here, the road is still narrow. Soon, I will stop after passing that corner," the Qiang man replied quickly, scared by my tone.
But at this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a shadow coming at me from one side of the cliff!
No, it's not an attack, it's a falling rock!
In an instant, the emotion of goosebumps surged up suddenly.
The Qiang driver still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Stop! Rocks!" I shouted loudly.
The Qiang driver was shocked and pale. He didn't stop the car, but instead, he gave the car a heavy acceleration. The powerful feeling of pushing the back made everyone sway twice.
The others reacted as well, all looking out the windows.
All of this happened in a flash. Fortunately, that huge boulder passed behind our car just in time.
The Qiang man panted heavily and said: "Master Luo, in this place, such situations are common. When encountering landslides, we can't stop immediately. We must leave as soon as possible…"
Before his words were finished, there was a thunderous noise as one side of the window was pierced by a rock the size of a human head, which smashed into his head through the window!
The speed of the falling rock was too fast, and it wasn't round. It directly broke his head and broke another window, with his head flying out.
How could a headless body control the car?
The car was also on a slope and a bend.
As we watched the falling rock above, the cliff up ahead at the turn, our car was about to plunge off the embankment and fall down the mountain slope!
"Open the window and jump down! Quickly!" I didn't have much time to think, but since the window was already open earlier, I simply jumped out of the window in front of me!
Mao Sheng and the others were in a state of panic, but he remained composed. Since he was close to me, he managed to climb out along with me. The inertia caused both of us to roll on the ground for several turns before I regained my balance first.
Mao Sheng's face turned pale and he looked up at the side, "Master, get out of the way!"
He pushed me hard on the shoulder!
