The little girl was stunned. She looked at her empty hands and opened her eyes wide.
"Ouch …"
A groan came from the side. It was the old man on the bed in the room. He took a deep breath.
When the little girl heard the commotion, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face. She crawled to the bed on all fours.
The old man's eyelids moved a few times. He slowly opened his eyes.
…
The night passed quickly. The sky gradually brightened. A red sun rose. The raging wind and rain outside had stopped.
The door opened with a creak.
The warm light shone in. The outside world was clear. The fog near the mountain village had mostly dissipated. There were only a few remnants far away.
The little girl had already changed into a set of red clothes that were starched to the point of turning white. She carried a bag full of patches on her back and supported the old man as they slowly walked out.
The old man wore a somewhat shabby gray robe. His complexion looked better than last night. However, his movements were somewhat inconvenient. He held a polished wooden cane in his hand.
The two went out and walked toward the entrance of the village.
The old man's body seemed to be very weak. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was panting.
"Ah ah …" The little girl's mouth made two ah ah sounds. She raised her hand and gestured a few times.
"Grandpa is fine. Although the long-haired ghost was eliminated, the ghost aura near the village has not dissipated. Sooner or later it will attract other ghosts. We have to leave immediately." The gray robed old man rubbed the little girl's head and said.
The little girl obediently nodded.
The two continued to walk forward. After a few steps, a blue light fell from the sky. It fell not far in front of the two people. A graceful figure appeared.
The person who came was a white clothed Taoist nun. She looked to be in her thirties. She had an oval face and fair skin. Her appearance was quite beautiful. However, her face was cold. She revealed a rare fierce aura. In her hand was a white horsetail whisk.
The white clothed Taoist nun looked around and said to herself, "What a dense ghost aura. It's almost formed a ghost fog. But why don't I see any ghosts entrenched here?"
The old man and the little girl saw the white clothed Taoist nun. They could not help but be stunned.
"You two are from this village?" The white clothed Taoist nun walked over. After looking at the two people, she asked.
"Greetings, Immortal Nun." The old man finally recovered and was about to kowtow to the white-robed Daoist nun in surprise.
However, his body was unwell, and as soon as he bent over, he couldn't stop coughing.
The little girl hurriedly reached out a hand to pat the old man's back, but she was still young and weak, so it was difficult for her to support the old man with only one hand.
"You don't have to be so courteous. I'm I, Master Thunderous of the Floating Cloud Mountain. Just now, I passed by this place on a cloud and sensed the gathering of Ghost Qi. So, I came down to check it out." The white-clothed Daoist nun waved her left sleeve and steadied the old man's body. Then, she raised her right palm and returned the greeting.
"Yes, yes. Fairy, if you have any questions, this old man will definitely answer truthfully." The old man caught his breath and hurriedly nodded.
The little girl hid behind the old man and grabbed the old man's sleeve. Her big eyes looked curiously at the white-clothed Daoist nun.
The white-clothed Daoist nun glanced at the little girl's bag and asked, "From the looks of it, you should be from this village. Was this place attacked by malicious ghosts?"
"Yes. My surname is Sun. People call me Old Man Sun. This is my granddaughter. The two of us were born and raised in this Zhang Family Village. Our village used to be under the protection of a Yellow Tail King. Although the villagers lived a hard life, it was peaceful and there were no attacks from monsters or monsters. However, a month ago, the yellow-tailed king suddenly died in a thunderstorm. After that, a long-haired ghost appeared. Every night, it would come to our village to reap souls and kill people. The other people in the village either ran away long ago or were killed by that ghost. Only the two of us survived. "Old Man Sun sighed and mournfully said.
"The yellow-tailed king?" The white-clothed Daoist nun raised her eyebrows.
Old Man Sun hesitated for a moment and softly said, "It was a yellow dog that became a spirit."
"Oh, if a monster of the demon race can protect the common people, then it can be considered a righteous action. Since it died in the thunderstorm, it should have borrowed the power of heavenly lightning to pass the tribulation of transformation. "The white-clothed Daoist nun slowly nodded.
When Old Man Sun heard this, he didn't dare to ask the Daoist nun.
"The two of you, one old and one young, don't have strong vitality. How come the other people in the village were killed and only the two of you survived?" The Daoist nun looked at the two with a sharp light in her eyes.
"This … the yellow-tailed king placed the shrine near my house. Although the king has passed away, it is still protecting my family. Moreover, I still have some black dog blood in my house. That's why I have been able to survive until now." Old Man Sun hesitated and said.
The white-clothed Daoist nun shook her head. Obviously, she didn't agree with this explanation. Her eyes swept over the two and stopped at the little girl.
"Yi!" The Daoist nun's eyes suddenly focused. She looked the little girl up and down and then pointed her finger in the air.
A pure white light shot out from his fingertip, and disappeared into the little girl's glabella in a flash.
The little girl's body became sluggish and her eyes became misty. A faint layer of sparkling white light appeared on her little face and flickered incessantly.
"Unexpectedly, she was born with the White Tiger Fiend Body! No wonder you can resist the ghost's attack for such a long time. Not bad, not bad … "The white-clothed Daoist nun's eyes flashed with a trace of joy.
The white light on the little girl's face quickly receded. However, her cheeks became red and her body became weak. She fell to the ground and fainted.
"Great Immortal!" Old Man Sun was startled. He wanted to help the little girl but his body was somewhat unstable.
"Old Man, don't be alarmed. She just fell asleep. It's not a big deal." The white-clothed Daoist nun stretched out her hand to support the old man and slowly explained.
Old Man Sun heaved a sigh of relief.
"He dared to kill the people of the village. This monster is really audacious! Do you know where the long-haired ghost is hiding during the day? I'll go and kill him. I'll take care of the ghosts of the Zhang Village. "The white-clothed Daoist nun's face was covered with a layer of Evil Qi and a faint green light.
"Thank you for your kindness, Great Immortal. However, I heard from my granddaughter that the ghost attacked the village last night and was killed by a passing youth." Old Man Sun said with tears of gratitude.
"What did that person look like? Was there anything special about him? "The white-clothed Daoist nun was startled. She switched the horsetail whisk from her left hand to her right hand and asked curiously.
"I've been bedridden for the past few days and was unconscious last night. I didn't see that person. Wait until my granddaughter wakes up. Then, Great Immortal can ask her." Old Man Sun shook his head and said.
The white-clothed Daoist nun nodded and no longer bothered about this matter.
She then said, "Although the ghost has been killed, this place is not suitable to continue. You two come with me and find another place to live."
"Yes. Thank you, Great Immortal." Old Man Sun was overjoyed and thanked her.
The white-clothed Daoist nun waved her horsetail whisk and a white cloud appeared out of thin air. It carried the three people and quickly disappeared into the distant horizon.
