Chapter 1288: Retreat

Su Yi's pure yang internal force has a great restraint effect on this kind of evil spirit mixed with corpse air, yin air, filthy air and other dirty things. Especially after these gases enter the human body, Su Yi relies on his familiarity with the human body's meridians , it is easy to remove and very efficient.

As Su Yi started to save people, the rest of the people also began to join the rescue effort.

Although they are not as efficient as Su Yi, they all have their own methods and methods, each showing their ability to remove the evil spirit from the unconscious people and revive them.

However, their methods generally cannot completely remove the evil spirits, and Su Yi needs to use his internal strength to sort them out again before these people can fully recover.

When everyone gathered together again to take stock, everyone felt very heavy.

Just because of this wave of evil energy, including Jia Dagang, four more people were reduced.

That night, five people died just to break the formation.

This is definitely a heavy blow to the morale of the death squads.

No bones of Jia Dagang were left, and the bodies of the others were also badly mangled.

Everyone collected their corpses, led by Master Zhang of Longhushan, and simply saved the souls together, and then had to cheer up again and continue the unfinished business.

But before that, all the people who were saved came to thank Su Yi.

If it weren't for Su Yi, more people would have been afraid of death in this wave just now, and those practitioners whose bodies had been invaded by evil spirits had to withdraw. They would definitely not be able to continue participating in today's round.

"Why do you need to thank me?" Su Yi sighed, "Maybe I saved you, but it actually harmed you."

The pretty female Taoist priest said sternly: "Friend Huang, if I can die a worthy death today, it will fulfill my belief in my heart and practice my Tao! Saving me is the grace of becoming a Taoist. How can you harm me? This is absolutely true." Don’t say it again!”

The rest of the people agreed.

Uncle Feng patted Su Yi on the shoulder, pointed to the hanging jade ring, changed the subject, and said in a deep voice: "This formation eye is undoubtedly connected to the ghosts. The people who set up the formation set a trap at the formation eye, so the breakthrough just now Only when there is evil will the evil spirit be repulsed, causing such consequences. "

"It was my mistake." Master Zhang said with a heavy face, "It was my lack of thinking that caused such losses. I should apologize!"

"How can I blame you?" Monk Shengyi shook his head and sighed, "This is something that no one wants to happen. The response strategy was discussed in advance by us, and it was not your arbitrary decision. The reason why it is like this , because the enemy has evil intentions..."

Su Yi pointed to the jade ring floating in front of him and asked: "Since this eye is connected to the ghost, must this be the entrance to the ghost?"

"That's right." It was the pretty female Taoist priest who answered Su Yi, "Fellow Daoist Huang, this black mist is not evil energy, but a barrier. It just shows this appearance. We broke the formation and made this ghost gate appear. , but once it dissipates the Yang Qi, it will disappear again soon.”

"It doesn't matter even if it disappears." Hu Yidong added, "Now that we have the beacon of this ghost gate, we can find it at any time and enter it, unless the owner of this ghost re-sacrifice the ghost gate."

Su Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Everyone is ready to go in as agreed before." Uncle Feng said.

But after he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other with twinkling eyes.

Master Zhang suddenly said: "Fellow Daoist Feng, I have something to say."

Uncle Feng looked at him doubtfully.

"Everyone!" Zhang Zhenren took a deep breath and looked around with a very solemn expression. "What we are going to enter is a ghost monster, a brand new ghost monster! I don't need to say more about how dangerous it is inside. How many sneaks are there in it? Who is it? I don’t even know if we can break through the barrier of those little ghosts and get in front of the ghost master. I’m just thinking, what can we do if we go in?”

What he said was pessimistic, but it was true.

What can a mere twenty people do if they enter a ghost?

The one bad thing is that the whole army is destroyed and the death is worthless.

Just like it was just now.

Originally, many people were overly optimistic and did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

But now, a basin of cold water was poured on their heads, and everyone was completely awake.

Should I say this now?

Everyone has just experienced a major blow, and it is a time when morale is low. Now to pour cold water on everyone, not to mention others, even Su Yi wants to retreat.

Su Yi frowned slightly and looked at Master Zhang.

As Master Zhang finished speaking, someone complained: "If it's so dangerous, why don't more people come from above? Is this a matter for the twenty of us? Why should the safety of millions of people on Hong Kong Island be compromised?" Let’s carry it? Can we carry it? I wonder if the superiors think too highly of us, or they don’t take this matter seriously at all?”

"That's right! What can we do with the twenty or so of us? Five people are already dead without even entering the ghost gate!" Another person said excitedly, "If this is a ghost trap, how many ghosts are there? To be conservative, There are thousands of them! Are we rivals? We are just flying into the flames and destroying ourselves!"

"Those officials don't pay attention to this matter at all and don't care about the life and death of the people!" Some people were indignant. "We stood up with passion to eliminate demons and save Hong Kong Island from fire and water, but even if we all die here, , who cares? What are we doing! What’s the point of working hard?”

"Why? Why do you want so many of us to handle this matter? This is totally unreasonable! Why are we so stupid?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they all backed down.

Su Yi, Uncle Feng and others looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

This is definitely the last thing they want to see.

"What do you mean?" Hu Yidong frowned, "You said that, do you want to give up halfway?"

"Old Hu, it's not that we want to give up halfway, but we are here to help with this matter, and we don't ask for anything in return." He sighed, "We have done our job now, and we have already done our best. If we go on, we will die in vain, so why bother?"

"Send yourself to death? Not necessarily?" Hu Yidong snorted coldly, "It all depends on people, and don't forget, what should we practitioners do when She Qing is born? If you back down now, aren't you afraid of being infamy for thousands of years and making future generations laugh?"

Not everyone backed down, such as the female Taoist priest Mazu.

She raised her brows and said, "If we don't get rid of the ghost, it will become a serious problem! What's more, there is a ghost in Hong Kong Island. How many people will die because of it? We can't retreat!"

"Amitabha, it is our duty and righteousness to kill demons. Even if we die, we are nothing more than a stinky skin." Monk Shengyi said.

"Although we are few, if we have a proper strategy, we may not be unable to succeed." Sang Xin said, "Even if there are thousands of ghosts in this ghost world, how many of them can be defeated? I don't believe that in just a few years, there can be many ghosts in it. What a great development.”

These words made some determined people nod their heads.

Uncle Feng looked at Master Zhang seriously and asked, "Master Zhang, what do you mean, do you want to back down?"

"We can be considered fellow Taoists who are in the same boat. Let me have a heart-to-heart talk with you and say some things that shouldn't be said." Master Zhang looked around and sighed, "To be honest, I don't have any regard for this campaign against Sheqing. Look, our strength is too weak! Can we really deal with She Qing with just twenty people?"

Uncle Feng said calmly: "More than twenty people are already a lot. Originally, the four of us planned to go on our own."

These words made Master Zhang hesitate for a moment, but then he sighed and said: "Friend Feng Dao, the issues on Hong Kong Island are very complicated, especially on the eve of the handover. Everything we do is very sensitive and will cause trouble, so the above actually does not advocate We should deal with this issue now, but we want to wait until after July 1st next year, and then we can deal with this issue again.”

"There are still eight or nine months left. How many people will die next year?" Uncle Feng said solemnly.

"So the higher-ups can't bear it," Zhang Zhenren said. "It just so happened that your Director Li Wenbin repeatedly asked us to help you deal with this problem. We responded to his request and came to deal with this matter. But in fact, I know that Deputy Li The director did this mostly out of Zheng Zhi’s considerations, and he didn’t understand how powerful She Qing was. He wanted a result to prove his ability.”

It is self-evident to whom to prove it.

Su Yi understood this instantly, but others might not be able to figure it out, so most people frowned.

But that's not what Zhang Zhenren wanted to say, so he passed it by and continued to say what he wanted to express.

"We have paid the price of six lives, so of course we cannot give up halfway. I have a suggestion. Now that we have found the entrance to the ghost monster, we might as well set up an extermination lock formation here to block the ghost monster. In this way, She Qing will not be able to escape. Come on, if the ghost can't get in, it means that the root cause of the problem has been solved temporarily, and then all we have to do is use all our energy to deal with Father Huang's disaster."

Zhang Zhenren looked around and continued: "By next year, we will all become a family. Then the masters of each faction can legitimately handle the affairs here. We can recruit more people to eliminate She Qing."

After a pause, Master Zhang looked at Uncle Feng sincerely and said: "Fellow Daoist Feng, of course we need to get rid of She Qing, and the disaster caused by Huang Father must also be contained, but we must prioritize things and proceed step by step. Let's do it step by step, urgently. No."

"How confident are we that we can succeed if we rashly enter the Ghost World today? I have no confidence anyway. I only know that none of us will survive, and She Qing may not be destroyed by us."

"Since we people are here, of course we are not afraid of death, but if our death is of no value, or if our death is not worthwhile, it would be too sad. If you believe me, we will seal away the ghosts today and concentrate our efforts on dealing with them first. Father Huang. It will be more efficient for us to deal with Father Huang together.”

"I can swear to you that next year, I will contact all the major factions to attack this ghost together and destroy this Sheqing!"

Zhang Zhenren was moved with emotion and reason, which made everyone think deeply. Uncle Feng was silent for a while and did not refute, but seriously thought about the feasibility of this proposal.

“I think Master Zhang’s proposal is a very good one, it’s the best of both worlds!”

"I also think this is the most appropriate thing to do. It will not delay the two major events. Master Zhang has arranged it well!"

"Then what do we do? At least this is better than rushing in and dying in vain!"

Everyone was talking about it and agreed one after another.

Su Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Master Zhang, can the Extermination Locking Formation you mentioned be able to seal She Qing? Aren't all spells invalid against She Qing?"

"Young Daoist Huang don't know. What we want to seal is not She Qing, but this ghost." Master Zhang smiled and explained.

He pointed at the black fog projected by the jade ring in front of him and said, "This is the gate of the ghost den. Generally speaking, the ghost den has only this one entrance and exit. As long as we seal this entrance and exit, the ghost den will become a dead place and a dead end."

"Although Sheqing ignores magic, he must also follow basic rules. The ghost den is a world of its own. This great formation of extinction locks the gate of the world, and it is locked from the outside. Even if Sheqing is the master of the ghost den, he has no ability to break out of the world from the inside."

Uncle Feng was afraid that Su Yi didn't understand, so he further explained: "Fire and earth, the formation that Master Zhang said actually uses the principle of locking seven gates, which is similar to our Seven Star Soul Nailing Formation."

Master Zhang said: "I have also heard of the Seven Star Soul Nailing Formation of Maoshan. It is exquisite and amazing."

"It's good that it can be sealed." Su Yi nodded.

He was also convinced by Master Zhang.

Although, whether due to his physical condition or the needs of the mission, he prefers to attack the ghost den, fight to the death, fight a fierce battle, and then leave this world.

In this way, even if the mission fails, he will not have any regrets.

But now the "military spirit" wants to retreat, Su Yi is unwilling to let so many people accompany him to die for his own selfishness, so he is unwilling to compromise.

And he also saw that Uncle Feng and the others were also persuaded by Master Zhang.

Master Zhang's proposal is indeed a best of both worlds.

Su Yi felt a little regretful, but he was unwilling to force it.

Since he couldn't fight with She Qing, he planned to go back to Wanwan and try his best to solve the problem of the evil spirit in the girl Aning.

Being able to complete one more task before leaving is the best explanation for himself.

He thought so, but there was always something wrong in his heart.

Sure enough, Uncle Feng called Su Yi over to discuss the matter together. He first expressed his attitude and thought that Master Zhang's proposal was feasible, and then asked for others' opinions.

Sang Xin and the others had no objection, and finally everyone's eyes fell on Su Yi.

"What are you looking at me for?" Su Yi smiled, "I'll listen to you."

This made Feng Shu and the others silent.

They all knew that Su Yi was not far from his death, and the reason why he came here was to die in a blaze of glory.

Their decision actually made Su Yi's "last wish" come to nothing.

Feng Shu, Sang Xin and Li Shu actually felt very guilty about this.
