Chapter 760: Purification Light Wave
As he chanted, the light of the Purification Crystal became stronger and stronger, forming a powerful protective shield that enveloped him. The evil spirit attacked the protective shield again and again, but was bounced back by the light. Every time it was repelled, its screams became more and more shrill.
In this fierce battle, Qi Tongwei gradually felt exhausted and his consciousness began to blur. Just when he was about to collapse, there was a sudden noise of footsteps and shouting outside the ward. It turned out that the hospital security guards and nurses heard the alarm and rushed over.
The evil spirit seemed to be very afraid of the arrival of these people. It glared at Qi Tongwei fiercely, then turned into a cloud of black smoke and slipped away through the gap in the window. The temperature in the ward gradually returned to normal, and the medical equipment stopped shaking.
Qi Tongwei heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed on the bed. He knew that although he had escaped this time, the appearance of this evil spirit was by no means accidental, and there must be someone or some force behind all this.
Qi Tongwei stepped into the crematorium with an uneasy mood. The pungent smoke and burning smell filled the air, making his heart even heavier.
In a dark corner of the crematorium, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure - the Third Master of the Seventh Uncle. The Third Master of the Seventh Uncle was as pale as paper, his eyes were empty, and his body exuded a cold breath, as if he had returned from another world.
"Qi Tongwei, you are finally here." The voice of the seventh uncle, the third master, was low and hoarse, as if squeezed out from the depths of his throat, echoing in this silent crematorium, making people shudder.
Qi Tongwei looked at him in horror, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move at all. "Seventh Uncle Third Master, why...why are you here?" he asked tremblingly.
The Third Master of the Seventh Uncle smiled coldly, without a trace of warmth in his laughter. "I am waiting for you here to let you know that everything you do will be punished. Your greed and obsession have disrupted the order of the Yin and Yang worlds."
Qi Tongwei was startled. He remembered the Purification Crystal in his hand. Could it be that all this was related to it? Before he could open his mouth to explain, the Third Uncle suddenly stretched out a hand and pointed at his chest. In an instant, Qi Tongwei felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"Do you think you can control this crystal of purification? It contains enormous power and has also attracted countless evil forces. If you don't let it go in time, not only will your life be in danger, but you will also implicate those around you." The seventh uncle, the third master, said sternly.
Qi Tongwei began to struggle. On the one hand, he knew the importance of the Purification Crystal, which might be the key to solving many mysteries. On the other hand, the words of his seventh uncle and third master also made him feel scared and uneasy. He didn't know how to choose, and his mind was in chaos.
At this moment, the temperature around suddenly dropped sharply, and a gust of cold wind whistled past. The figure of the seventh uncle began to become blurred, as if being pulled by an invisible force. "Remember my words, Qi Tongwei, otherwise you will be doomed..." The voice of the seventh uncle became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
Qi Tongwei collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. His heart was filled with confusion and fear, not knowing where to go.
At the foot of the remote mountain, there is an old house that has been abandoned for a long time. Legend has it that this old house was once the residence of a wealthy man, but after a fire, the family fell into poverty and it has been abandoned and no one lives there ever since. Qi Tongwei got lost accidentally and somehow came to this old house.
The door of the old house was closed, the copper lock on the door had long been rusted, the surrounding weeds were overgrown, and the walls were covered with moss and vines, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Qi Tongwei felt an inexplicable curiosity in his heart, and he pushed open the shaky door for some unknown reason.
The door hinge made a harsh creaking sound, which echoed in the silent air. Qi Tongwei walked in cautiously, and saw a thin layer of mist in the courtyard, and something seemed to be looming in the haze.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, and Qi Tongwei shivered. He looked closely and found an ancient well in the middle of the yard, with a hint of cold air coming out of the well. Just as he approached the ancient well to find out what was inside, a vague figure slowly rose from the well.
The figure was a woman in ancient costume, with wet hair draped over her shoulders, her face as pale as paper, but her lips strangely red. Her eyes were empty and resentful, staring at Qi Tongwei.
"Who are you? Why did you break into my territory?" The woman's voice came faintly, as if it came from deep underground.
Qi Tongwei took a few steps back in fear and stammered, "I... I was just passing by here and came in accidentally. Are you... are you a human or a ghost?"
The woman smiled coldly: "Of course I am a ghost. I have been waiting here for a long, long time, just waiting for someone who can help me clear my name."
It turns out that the woman's name was Wan Niang, and she was once a maid in this ancient house. Back then, the lady of the mansion was jealous of her beauty and falsely accused her of stealing precious jewels. She beat her up and threw her into this ancient well. Wan Niang died unjustly, but her resentment has been lingering in the ancient house.
After hearing Wan Niang's story, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. He decided to help Wan Niang find the truth and clear her name. So Qi Tongwei searched for clues in the old house and found some letters and account books from that year, which vaguely revealed the wife's evil deeds and some unknown secrets.
However, just when Qi Tongwei was about to uncover the truth, strange things happened. Some objects in the old house began to move inexplicably, and eerie cries and strange noises were often heard at night, as if a dark force was preventing him from continuing his investigation.
Qi Tongwei realized that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this. It turned out that his wife had designed to kill Wan Niang in order to obtain a treasure in the old house - a magic pearl that could fulfill wishes. And this magic pearl is now sealed in the basement of the old house by his wife's descendants. After they noticed Qi Tongwei's actions, they used evil magic to prevent him from finding the magic pearl to prevent the truth from being revealed.
But Qi Tongwei was not intimidated by these difficulties. With his firm belief and courage, and with the help of Wan Niang, he found the entrance to the basement. The basement was filled with a foul smell, and the walls were engraved with strange symbols and patterns.
At the end of the basement, Qi Tongwei finally found the sealed spirit pearl.
