Chapter 653 The Tortured Shadow

In less than half a minute, four people died.

In front of them, more and more white cloth sheets came out from everywhere.

The ghosts were so numerous that they blocked their way back.

Hatu made a prompt decision and pulled the other two people to run towards a small path.

There was a garden in the manor, and the three of them rushed directly into the small garden on the east side, looking back while running.

The white cloth ghost behind them didn't need to follow the road at all, and directly penetrated through the obstacles to chase them.

"Sir! You go first, we stay and disperse to attract them." A factory guard said.

If you figure out what's inside, there's no need to fight to the death here. Even if only Hatu escapes, it's better than dying here.

However, Hatu said: "Who among you knows the Three Character Classic? Not just that one sentence."

"..." The factory guards were all silent.

Hatu knew some, but not much. Why did he memorize the books of the Song Dynasty so well? His understanding was limited to the first two sentences.

"Study! Go find the study quickly. The Liu family is a scholarly family, and there must be the Three Character Classic in it!" Hatu said.

"Then we have to go back to the central hall and then go to the backyard. The study is next to the master's inner room." The men said.

Going to the study requires turning back?

But behind this...

Hatu turned back every three steps and found that the white cloth ghost behind him was not chasing closely, just running at the speed of a normal person.

It did not show the ghost-level movement that made him despair.

However, the white cloth ghost passed through the wall and the unreasonable beheading was enough for these people who had been baptized by the battlefield to not have the slightest idea of ​​a head-on confrontation.

Fortunately, although the scholar died, what he did before his death still gave them a glimmer of hope.

The white cloth that was originally completely untouchable can be touched when reciting the Three Character Classic. Although I don't know why, this must be crucial.

Hatu knew very well that it was not surprising that the strange objects that His Majesty wanted had inexplicable phenomena, and it was necessary to adapt to the characteristics of the other party.

Save life, counter, and use.

"These ghosts can pass through walls and houses, we can also find a shortcut to the study!" Hatu said.

"Sir, is the Three Character Classic really useful? They still died after reciting it." Someone said.

Indeed, both the scholar and his men had recited that sentence before, but it was useless except for letting them encounter Bai Bu.

However, for now, this is the only place that can be used.

Although the person who recited the book still died of beheading, it may be because they only knew a little bit. The scholar didn't remember what came after Gou, and his men were learning on the spot and only knew the first two sentences.

Hatu was determined to try it anyway. What power does the full version of the Three Character Classic have!

"Ahhh! They're catching up!" A man turned around and saw Bai Bu approaching three meters away, sweating profusely.

This kind of monster that inexplicably removes people's heads, the man's martial arts are useless.

The way to save your life now is to run! Don't be caught up!

Running in a straight line, Bai Bu's speed is about the same as theirs, or even a little slower.

But the problem is that Liuzhuang has a complicated terrain. They have to take a step down, go around a stone, and push a door from time to time, which always takes some time. The ghost shadow of white cloth that ignores obstacles will catch up with them sooner or later.

"Go this way!" Hatu shouted.

He led his men to turn left and rush towards a wall. After climbing over this wall, they can return to the central hall.

It was too late to take a detour, so they had to climb over the wall.

However, as soon as the first soldier stepped on it and his hands were on the wall, he widened his eyes and exclaimed: "No!"

Hatu hurriedly braked and looked up to see that the man who had just climbed up was beheaded and blood spurted from his neck.

A ghost shadow of white cloth came out directly from the other side of the wall.

Hatu was so scared that his soul was trembling, and a chill ran down his neck. He ran in another direction without looking back.

A soldier next to him reacted a little slower. When he turned around and wanted to catch up with Hatu, the white cloth was already close to him.

"People... that, that, that... that's it!" He was so anxious that his mouth was full of words.

Seeing the white cloth so close, his nerves were stretched to the limit, and the feeling of extreme anxiety made him collapse a little.

He wanted to say the Three Character Classic, he remembered it! Even if it was just one sentence.

However, now that sentence was clearly in his mind, it seemed that his mouth was out of control and he couldn't speak it fluently when he was asked to say it so suddenly.

Although he was proficient in Chinese, it was not his mother tongue after all. He was anxious and couldn't speak clearly at this moment, which made him desperate to the extreme.

"Du..."

"Huh?" This Fanzi was horrified to find that he didn't say anything, but he still punched the white cloth.

Of course, the power was minimal, and there was only an almost imperceptible wrinkle on the white cloth.

"No need..." Fanzi shouted, trying to tell Hatu something.

But when Hatu turned around, he only saw Fanzi's head flying up, blood splattered three feet.

The head was in the air, with its mouth wide open, moved slightly twice, but in the end it didn't finish and disappeared directly.

"What does he want to tell me?"

Hatu saw another of his men die, but he was not sad, because this was their fate.

At this moment, there was only one guard left beside him, and the two of them rushed to the study room with all their strength.

From here to the big backyard, and then from the big backyard back to the master's bedroom, you can see the study room.

He and another guard ran and shouted all the way, shouting the name of Qian Baihu, asking him to bring people in to kill.

It was a big courtyard with a deep gate, and I didn't know if the soldiers outside could hear it.

However, when he struggled to see the study, he found that there were piles of heads in the small courtyard in the middle!

At least more than a hundred heads! Hatu had cast a Jingguan in Yangzhou and had seen this kind of stacking method. Just by looking at the number of layers, he could immediately estimate the number.

"Are all the heads here? Ah! Theirs are also..."

Hatu saw his men, the dead ones, and the heads that disappeared were all piled up on top.

Among them, he also saw several heads wearing military caps, which were obviously Qian Baihu's soldiers.

Men and women, young and old, more than a hundred heads, piled up into a mountain.

Hatu saw with his own eyes that a huge white cloth, a white cloth that was bigger than all the ghosts, stood behind this pile of heads.

It was like an enlarged version of the white cloth ghost, more than four meters high, just as high as the more than a hundred heads piled up.

Let's call it the white cloth body, because Hatu found that it was the only white cloth ghost with a shadow.

With the help of the moonlight, Hatu saw the shadow that looked like countless headless people crowded together, and his scalp tingled.

These shadows seemed to be struggling, but it was useless to struggle. They just crowded together and pretended to be the shadow of the white cloth body.

"Are the headless figures twisted on this shadow all dead?" Thinking of this, Hatu felt cold all over.

He imagined that the dead people, even their souls were not spared, like shadows, forever staying under this huge white cloth, and he couldn't help trembling.

"... Let's go!" The factory fan was finally about to collapse.

This was the only factory fan who was still following Hatu, and the others were all dead.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid when he saw the headless figures struggling in endless pain under the moonlight...

He had never been so scared when he saw his colleagues dying like chickens.

No one was so fearless that he was willing to be tortured after death. There are few similar records, and only a few people in the Blue and White Society, not even all formal members have the courage to accept such a death.

"Go! Go! I don't want to die here!" Chang Fan ran towards the outer wall of the manor in a panic. Any section of the wall would do. He didn't want to stay here for a moment.

However, Hatu grabbed him and dragged him towards the study: "Idiot! You can't run away. Find a book! Only by finding a book can you survive!"

Hatu was also afraid, but he had the best psychological quality. He knew that if he ran out like this, he would die after climbing over two walls at most.

We must find a way to repel or kill the white cloth ghost, otherwise running away blindly is just waiting to die. If running alone is useful, why did only the book boy run out of more than a hundred people?

Hatu pulled him into the study, and the two of them anxiously looked for the Three Character Classic.

As for the white cloth body towering behind the head, he had noticed it a long time ago, and it would not move at all. When they broke in, it showed no sign of approaching them, but just stood there silently.

Even the two passed by the white cloth body, and nothing happened. The only ones who really chased and killed people were ordinary white-clothed ghosts as tall as a person.

"Where's the book? This is a family of scholars, how come there's not even a copy of the Three Character Classic!" Hatu searched the bookcase frantically, but couldn't find the Three Character Classic. When he looked out the window, there were already a lot of white shadows. He turned pale and cursed.

But maybe the soldiers outside the manor heard their cries and broke into the front door, so they led away a large part of them.

There were not many white cloth ghosts chasing them to the study at this time, only seven or eight.

"Get out! Get out of the way!" The factory guard saw that the white cloth ghosts chasing them had emerged from the walls in all directions, and he was so frightened that he became angry.

They were only a few feet away from him. According to experience, if they got close to one or two feet, they would be killed.

He couldn't find the Three Character Classic, and his tense heart was suddenly driven crazy by extreme fear and despair.

"Fuck it! I'd rather go to the underworld!" The factory guard took a knife and stabbed it, inserting it from the mouth, and the blade came out of the back of his head.

He committed suicide by drinking a knife!

At the same time, Hatu beside him said in surprise: "We found the Three Character Classic!"
