Chapter 469: House Fight Turns into Thriller 8
Liu Hui lowered her head, with a hint of guilt in her voice: "I know I was wrong, but it's too late to regret now. I just hope to find the female ghost as soon as possible and solve this problem."
The Taoist sighed and said, "Forget it. Since it has already happened, we can only find a way to solve it. Miss Liu, do you know where the female ghost is hiding?"
Liu Hui nodded and said, "She once told me that she was hiding in an abandoned well in the mansion. However, the well was full of traps, and ordinary people couldn't get in at all."
The Taoist priest heard this and his eyes gleamed with a gleam of light: "A mechanism? Humph, this is just a piece of cake for me. Master Liu, without further ado, we should go to the abandoned well immediately and completely eradicate the female ghost."
Although Lord Liu still had some doubts in his heart, he had no choice but to nod and agree. Then, the group came to the abandoned well in a mighty manner.
The mouth of the well was covered by a thick stone slab, which was engraved with complicated runes and emitted a faint light. The Taoist priest went forward to take a closer look and then said, "These runes are used for sealing. It seems that the female ghost is indeed hiding here."
Lord Liu was watching from the side, feeling somewhat uneasy: "Master, this... is this really possible?"
The Taoist smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Liu, I have my own way." As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his bosom and pasted it on the stone slab. Then, he muttered something and quickly moved his fingers on the talisman.
As the Taoist chanted, the runes on the stone slab began to flash with dazzling light, as if some mysterious power was surging. A moment later, there was a loud "bang", and the stone slab was lifted up by an invisible force, revealing the black hole under the well.
The Taoist priest, holding a magic sword, jumped into the well first. Lord Liu, Liu Hui and others followed closely behind him and went down the well carefully. Under the well was a deep passage, with traps on both sides, which would be triggered if not careful.
The Taoist priest walked in the front, and with his superb skills and keen insight, he avoided the traps one by one. Lord Liu and others followed closely behind, fearing that they would be left behind.
After a difficult journey, they finally reached the end of the passage. In front of them was a secret room with a huge altar in the center and a strange statue on the altar. The statue's eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, making people feel scared.
At this moment, the female ghost was sitting cross-legged in front of the altar, closing her eyes and concentrating, as if she was performing some ritual. She did not notice the arrival of the crowd and was still immersed in her own world.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest immediately swung his magic sword and attacked the female ghost. The female ghost suddenly woke up, and she dodged the Taoist priest's attack. Then, she glared at everyone and said in a cold voice: "How dare you break in here, you are looking for death!"
The Taoist priest snorted coldly and said, "Monster, today is the day you die!" As he said that, he swung the magic sword again and attacked the female ghost.
The female ghost was not to be outdone, she waved her hands, and suddenly a strong gust of wind blew towards the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest dodged the gust of wind and took the opportunity to stab the female ghost with his sword.
The ghost girl dodged the Taoist's sword again. She looked at the Taoist with a gleam of resentment in her eyes: "Humph, do you think you can defeat me like this? How ridiculous!"
The Taoist priest was not angry when he heard this. He said calmly: "Monster, don't be so arrogant. Today is your end." As he said that, he swung the magic sword again and attacked the female ghost.
This time, the female ghost did not dodge, but went forward. Her figure was twisted and changed in the void, as if it turned into countless phantoms, dazzling people.
The Taoist priest was slightly shocked when he saw this. He knew that the female ghost was very cunning and could not be easily fooled by her. So he took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and relied on his keen intuition to stab the female ghost with a sword.
With a "puff", the Taoist's sword pierced through the ghost's body. The ghost screamed and her body began to dissipate. However, just when everyone thought she was about to turn into ashes, her figure condensed again, but this time, she looked even weaker.
"This...what's going on?" Lord Liu asked in surprise.
The Taoist frowned, and he looked at the female ghost, with a flash of enlightenment in his eyes: "I understand, you evildoer, you are not a real ghost at all, but a puppet made by someone using evil magic!"
The ghost girl's face changed drastically when she heard this. She glared at the Taoist priest and said in a trembling voice, "You...how did you know?"
The Taoist priest snorted coldly and said, "Humph, I have been traveling around the world for many years, and I have seen all kinds of monsters and demons. Do you think you can hide this little trick from me?"
The ghost girl's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She giggled and said, "Pretending? Do you think you can scare me like this? What a joke! I am a genuine ghost girl. How can a mortal like you guess what I am doing?"
The Taoist looked solemn, and he carefully looked at the ghost, trying to find flaws in her. However, no matter how he looked at her, the ghost seemed extremely real, without any trace of pretense.
"What on earth is going on?" the Taoist muttered to himself, and there was a bit more vigilance in his eyes when he looked at the female ghost.
Seeing this, the female ghost thought that the Taoist priest was frightened by her, and she couldn't help but become even more proud. She opened her arms, and a cold aura suddenly surged around her body, as if to cover the entire secret room.
"Humph, are you scared now? But it's too late! You all have to die here today and become my sacrifice!" The ghost girl's voice was sharp and piercing, sounding creepy.
The Taoist priest had no intention of retreating. He tightly grasped his magic sword and said in a deep voice, "Evildoer, stop being so arrogant! No matter who you are, I will not let you go!"
The female ghost sneered and said, "You are asking for death, don't blame me for being rude!" As she spoke, she flashed and pounced towards the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest was prepared, and he dodged the ghost's attack by moving his body to the side. Then, he took the opportunity to swing his magic sword and slash at the ghost.
However, the sword seemed to have hit the air, and the ghost girl's body seemed illusory and did not suffer any harm.
"This..." The Taoist was shocked. He didn't expect the female ghost to be so powerful that even his magic sword couldn't hurt her.
The female ghost looked at the Taoist priest's shocked expression and couldn't help but feel even more proud. She smiled and said, "How is it? Are you surprised? Let me tell you, this is a real ghost body, and it's not something that mortals like you can easily hurt."
The Taoist frowned, knowing that he could no longer be passive like this. He had to find a way to find the ghost girl's weakness, otherwise he would be in trouble today.
