The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

In that remote little mountain village tightly shrouded in thick fog, Zuo Nian took cautious steps, step by step, slowly approaching the mysterious wellhead.

From a distance, thick black smoke was constantly billowing out from right above the well, and the black smoke seemed to have life, tightly wrapping a ball of strange green light.

Accompanied by a creepy "hissing" sound, people can't help but feel their scalp tingling.

Looking closely, the green light seemed to be trying hard to change its shape, and was about to turn into a human form.

At the same time, some tentacles extending from the green light, like nimble snakes, kept exploring towards the nearby forest.

However, just as those tentacles were about to touch the forest, countless hairs as black as ink suddenly flew out from the depths of the forest and hit those tentacles with lightning speed.

For a moment, it was as if two completely different creatures were fighting fiercely for territory, with both sides deadlocked and neither giving in.

After a long confrontation, the monster emitting green light in the well was finally defeated and forced back into the well, never daring to show its head again.

Zuo Nian and Mu Qi, who had been hiding in the dark and observing quietly, saw the scene and found that they had calmed down a lot. So they looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

Zuo Nian took a deep breath, then quickly dipped the special brush at his waist into cinnabar and drew a mysterious and complicated talisman with a dancing dragon and phoenix.

Then, without hesitation, he swung his right palm forward with force, and the talisman flew straight into Mu Qi's back like lightning.

In an instant, something strange happened! Mu Qi's entire body instantly became transparent and colorless, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment.

If you don't observe carefully, you can't detect his presence at all. However, when he moves, he still leaves a faint trace under his feet.

Then he raised the brush and drew another mysterious and complicated talisman. In a moment, a talisman flashing with faint light appeared in his hand. He did not hesitate to cast the talisman into his chest.

In an instant, there was a slight buzzing sound, and then Zuo Nian disappeared from the spot like smoke, without even leaving a shadow.

"This talisman can completely block our voices and breath, but its effectiveness only lasts for half an hour. Therefore, we must fight quickly and decisively, and absolutely cannot stay here for long!"

Zuo Nian said this with a serious expression, his originally handsome sword-like eyebrows were now tightly furrowed together, almost turning into a standard "eight" shape.

Mu Qi, who was standing by, witnessed this unbelievable scene and couldn't help feeling a strong sense of fear and uneasiness in his heart.

He subconsciously raised his right hand and patted his chest hard, as if this could give himself some courage.

After a long while, he stammered and responded, "I understand... If the situation really gets bad, saving your life is the most important thing. Of all the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!"

However, they did not know at this moment that the moment they stepped into the gate of this small mountain village, their every move had actually fallen into the control of certain beings.

However, because they were afraid of Zuo Nian's reputation as a top-level demon catcher, these guys hiding in the dark did not dare to act rashly and show up to provoke him.

So, they could only hide in the dark carefully, quietly observing Zuo Nian and Mu Qi's actions, waiting for the best time to take action.

After hearing Mu Qi's answer, Zuo Nian nodded slightly in approval.

However, although he appeared to be quite relaxed verbally, deep down he was still full of worries and concerns.

After thinking it over, Zuo Nian finally decided to quietly release a trace of weak immortal power and inject it into Mu Qi's body.

In this way, if a dangerous situation occurs, at least Muqi can be provided with an extra layer of protection.

Zuo Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart finally relaxed a little.

He took a few deep breaths, calmed himself, and then began to give orders calmly.

The two men followed his instructions, one to the left and the other to the right, like two nimble cheetahs, moving forward silently and gradually approaching the target.

After a while, the two men successfully completed the encirclement and finally met in front of the wellhead which was tightly surrounded by withered yellow weeds.

They looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then carefully stuck their heads out and looked into the dark well with trepidation.

The well water was like a pool of stagnant water, so calm that it felt a little weird.

The water surface was smooth as a mirror without any ripples, clearly reflecting their slightly nervous faces and figures.

At this moment, for some unknown reason, the originally calm well water suddenly rippled out in circles with the center of the well mouth as the center, creating layers of tiny ripples.

At the same time, a terrifying scene happened!

As ripples appeared in the well water, their eyes, which were originally as dark as ink, were suddenly covered with a layer of faint green light without any warning, as if some mysterious and evil power was following their gaze and penetrating into the depths of their eyes.

In an instant, they all became like possessed by demons, their bodies involuntarily spinning slowly around the well.

Their steps were unsteady and their eyes were empty, as if they had lost consciousness, or as if their souls had left their bodies and gone to another unknown world, being imprisoned by some terrifying existence.
