C55 (1/2)
I didn't understand what was happening as I was dragged out of the courtyard by the slovenly Daoist. The moment I left the courtyard, I turned my head to look back, but before the two yellow paper talismans that the slovenly Daoist could throw out could reach the red-clothed evildoer's side, they had already been burnt into ashes and were unable to cause any damage to the red-clothed evildoer. Even so, the slovenly Daoist Priest was able to stop the red-clothed evildoer for a moment before pulling me along as he ran out of the courtyard.
When I ran out of the courtyard, the Sloppy Daoist panicked and shouted at me, ”Quickly! ”Close the door …”
The slovenly Daoist Priest and I each hugged a door and closed it. At the moment we closed the door, he trembled as he took out a blue talisman from his yellow cloth bag and stuck it between the two black wood doors.
As if feeling that doing so was not safe, the slovenly Daoist opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood towards the blue talisman.
The blue talisman emitted a soft blue light and then dimmed down.
After doing all this, the Sloppy Daoist's body went limp and he slid down the black wood door without any signs of life.
I jumped in fright as I didn't know what was going on with this slovenly Daoist. He stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder and shouted twice. He didn't respond at all. I thought to myself, 'Could this kid be dead?'
If I die, I'll be in big trouble. I can't explain this to the police, even if I say that this slovenly Daoist was beaten to death by a ghost girl, no one would believe me.
Right at this moment, a terrifying sound came from the courtyard, and a sharp ghostly wail shook my eardrums. The two black wood doors made clanging sounds, as if something was ruthlessly slamming against the black wood door inside.
That red-clothed ghost fiend couldn't be chasing them out, right?
No! I have to bring the slovenly Daoist priest and quickly leave this place. If that red-clothed ghost fiend comes out, the two of us will definitely die.
With that in mind, I helped the slovenly Daoist out of the chair. After that, I checked his breath and found that he was still breathing. He was still alive, so I was relieved. I carried him on my shoulder and headed towards the exit of Flowery Lane.
As we walked, I fearfully said to the slovenly Daoist, ”Leader …” Hold on, don't be afraid... I'll take you to the hospital right now … ”
Just like this, I took more than ten steps forward. The sounds of the black wood door being struck became more and more intense, as if it would be knocked open at any moment. I was so scared that I didn't dare to stop my steps for a moment.
The slovenly Daoist Priest continuously dripped blood from the corner of his mouth and dripped it onto my shoulders, dyeing my clothes red.
At this moment, the Sloppy Daoist suddenly coughed dryly and spat out a mouthful of blood. That talisman was given to me by my master... I don't have enough mana... That talisman couldn't hold on for too long either … Half an hour at most... We have to find a place with a lot of people to stay... There was a heavy yang energy, ghosts … ”Gui Sha doesn't dare to chase us …”
”Good …” Let's go out in a while, I'll take a taxi there right away... ”Dao leader, don't die. You must hold on …” As I spoke to him, I quickened my pace and trotted toward the end of Flowery Lane.
The slovenly Daoist used an extremely weak voice to whisper in my ear, ”Don't go …” Hospital... My Wounds... If the hospital can't be cured, then go... ”To places with many people …”
