“Little Master, which way should we go?” Wang Fatty and Hu Ba Yi were both unsure.
Lin Chang Sheng observed for a moment and asked Zhang Hai Xing, who was standing beside him: “Hai Xing, what do you think?”
Zhang Hai Xing put her hand in the water, feeling the slight difference in the currents on both sides. She then said, “Both of these forks should lead to the same place, but the left one should get us there faster.”
Lin Chang Sheng nodded. Based on the spiritual energy he had imbued in the yellow talisman, Wu Xie and the others had chosen the right path.
This was a perfect opportunity for him to reach the Tomb of the King of Lu ahead of them.
“Alright, let’s take the left path. Everyone hold on tight, Fatty is about to put the pedal to the metal!” Wang Fatty began to paddle the raft with all his might.
Strange sounds kept coming from the water. Wang Fatty cautiously asked, “Little Master, are we on the wrong path? I feel like this place is a bit off.”
Hu Ba Yi patted Fatty, “If you’re scared, then go back. There are water ghosts up ahead!”
Hu Ba Yi’s words spurred Fatty on. “Fatty’s dictionary doesn’t contain the word ‘scared.’ I don’t even know how to write it.”
As he spoke, a sharp, piercing sound came from the water.
“Old Hu, what is that sound? It’s so annoying!” Wang Fatty shouted, but Hu Ba Yi remained unmoved.
Lin Chang Sheng was also in pain from the sharp sound.
“Old Hu!”
Seeing that Hu Ba Yi seemed unaffected, he called out. He already knew that Hu Ba Yi had likely been possessed.
“Hai Xing, you and Fatty go into the water first!”
Lin Chang Sheng shouted, covering his ears.
Seeing this, Zhang Hai Xing didn’t hesitate and jumped into the water.
Wang Fatty lay on the raft, his head feeling heavy and blurry. He was unable to control his own body.
Seeing this, Lin Chang Sheng immediately kicked Fatty into the river.
Then, he took out a yellow talisman and chanted, “Celestial weapons, essence of the eight trigrams, summon the divine general, sit and comfort my body, hear the incantation and come quickly, be aware of all things, report everything, do not disobey!”
At that moment, Hu Ba Yi raised his hands, ready to attack Lin Chang Sheng.
Lin Chang Sheng immediately tackled him, forcing the yellow talisman down Hu Ba Yi’s throat.
Then he kicked Hu Ba Yi into the river too.
Leaving a sound talisman behind, Lin Chang Sheng also jumped into the river.
When the sound talisman on the raft could no longer detect any sounds, Lin Chang Sheng gestured to Zhang Hai Xing before emerging from the river.
Wang Fatty and Hu Ba Yi floated on the surface of the river.
Lin Chang Sheng pulled Zhang Hai Xing out of the river first. Zhang Hai Xing, soaked from the water, emanated a faint fragrance, her figure now even more curvaceous.
Wang Fatty hurriedly called out, “Little Master!”
He was holding onto Hu Ba Yi, their weight pulling them toward the front of the river.
Lin Chang Sheng quickly threw out a bamboo pole. “Hold on!”
Finally, he managed to pull Wang Fatty and Hu Ba Yi safely to shore.
Wang Fatty finally caught his breath. It had been so dangerous. “Little Master, what was that sound? My head felt like it was going to explode.”
Lin Chang Sheng didn’t know where the sound had come from.
But he knew that the sound contained something else.
He couldn’t quite say what it was.
However, no matter what kind of demon or ghost it was, he had no fear.
This was the perfect opportunity to test the might of his Celestial Master Sword.
“We should be fine now. Let’s continue moving forward!”
Wang Fatty paddled the raft while asking Hu Ba Yi, “Old Hu, what happened to you?”
Hu Ba Yi felt like he had seen a woman sitting on a dragon throne. He had no memory of what had just happened.
He couldn’t figure out what had happened to him either.
Lin Chang Sheng said, “Fatty, take out the talisman I gave you and look at it!”
Wang Fatty immediately took out the talisman from his pouch. It had a burnt smell.
Lin Chang Sheng’s expression turned serious. He had never seen this before. The fact that the talisman had been burnt meant that the enemy was no ordinary foe.
“Old Hu was most likely possessed.”
“Possessed?” Upon hearing Lin Chang Sheng’s explanation, Wang Fatty became instantly alert. Could there be a hidden evil spirit in this place?
They were not afraid of big zombies or talismans, but these evil spirits, coming and going without a trace, were impossible to fight against.
If an evil spirit possessed you, it could result in a serious illness or even death.
Wang Fatty suddenly had a bold idea. Perhaps the evil spirit had been targeting him, and the talisman Lin Chang Sheng had sold him had saved his life. Then the evil spirit had targeted Hu Ba Yi.
Thinking of his current good relationship with Lin Chang Sheng, he felt he deserved more talismans.
Seeing this, Lin Chang Sheng simply took out a few more yellow talismans from his bag and gave one to each of them.
“These are exorcism talismans! Ordinary evil spirits won’t dare approach you while you have them. If the talisman starts to smell burnt, that means you need to leave as soon as possible.”
Wang Fatty took the talisman and treasured it like a precious gem.
Zhang Hai Xing looked at the talisman Lin Chang Sheng had given her. She had never seen this before. The Zhang family had never used such things.
But since it was from Lin Chang Sheng, she accepted it.
Meanwhile.
Wu Xie and the others were also under attack from the corpse worms. Several of them were injured.
Two corpses floated towards them. When they looked closer, they recognized the two boatmen who had mysteriously disappeared.
Their bodies had been torn in half, alive.
The scene was too gruesome to look at.
Wu Xie’s companion, Hai Shao, vomited at the sight.
He even stepped on a large corpse worm that Zhang Qi Ling had caught, intending to use it as a guide.
Wu San Sheng immediately started to berate him.
This good-for-nothing fool. What was Wu Xie even thinking bringing him along?!
