Chapter 149: Food Poisoning

  Knowing that something had happened, Cha Wenbin rushed to the side of Heng Roulian's face at an extremely fast speed. He saw him staring blankly into the distance, his right hand pointing straight ahead, and in the direction he was pointing, there was a huge ice pillar standing on the ground, but one thing was certain - there was no woman!

  "What's wrong?" Zhang Wenbin called out in a low voice.

  No reaction, Zhuo Xiong immediately became anxious and wanted to slap him, but was sternly stopped by Cha Wenbin: "Don't move him at all!"

  Zhuo Xiong suddenly became anxious. This thick-faced man, in terms of physical strength, was absolutely the most robust among this group of people. He stomped his foot and shouted: "What's going on?"

  Zha Wenbin quickly opened the Ba Gua band on this side, took out a small seven-color bowl, grabbed a few handfuls of rice and spread it on a yellow cloth strip in his hand, and then placed the small bowl on the rice pile. His hands quickly closed the cloth strip, tightly wrapping the rice and the bowl together.

  "Stand behind me, don't speak and don't move."

  Holding the cloth bag, walk to the side of the meat-faced man, single-handedly holding the bowl and quickly turning it around his body three times on each side, then retreat back to the original position, open the cloth strip and take a look, that bowl already has half a bowl of rice.

  "My soul is gone, such a place can also be deceived." Cha Wenbin said, looking at the rice in the bowl.

  As soon as they heard it was lost, several people immediately panicked. Old Wang hastily said: "You get it back!"

  Zha Wenbin pointed to the bowl of rice and said, "I've already received it, but I couldn't succeed. Only this bowl of rice is full, which means I can come back. It's clear that he saw something just now, and under my nose, such a thing happened. Don't worry, losing one's soul isn't a big deal, I'll naturally be able to find it back. First, let's go see what exactly made him like this, otherwise, someone else might get affected later!"

  "He said there was a woman." Chaozi said, pulling out his pistol. Now that he had a gun in his hand, the kid's confidence surged and he immediately took on a fighting stance.

  Cha Wenbin didn't give him a good look this time, and immediately roared: "Get out of my way!" After finishing speaking, he took the Seven Star Sword and quickly walked alone towards the huge ice pillar not far away.

  Chaozi was furious this time, he had come to help out and yet he got scolded for no reason, a surge of anger suddenly rose up in his heart, and he shouted: "I treated you like my elder brother, but I didn't do anything wrong, why are you yelling at me?"

  Cha Wenbin ignored him, and Chaozi was about to go forward to reason with him. Lao Wang, who was standing beside them, feared that something would happen, so he reached out to pull Chaozi back. Unexpectedly, this action earned a forceful slap from Chaozi, which sent Lao Wang tumbling to one side.

  Because the ground was all frozen, it was originally very slippery. Old Wang stumbled and didn't stand firm, his body suddenly fell backwards. Behind him, an icicle that had been pulled out of the ground was facing his back. It was a close call, but at that moment, Zhuo Xiong on the side quickly wrapped his arms around Old Wang's waist. He himself exerted some force, and the two of them "thudded" onto the ground together.

  Old Wang looked at the sharp ice ridge behind him, and the big sweat on his forehead suddenly burst out. He struggled to get up and shouted at Chaozi: "He Yichao, you little devil, are you crazy? Do you want to kill me?"

  Chaozi might have been set on fire, and originally had no good impression of this old man. With a swift motion, Sha Xing raised his hand and pressed it against Lao Wang's head, saying coldly: "As early as in Sichuan, I wanted to get rid of you, you despicable person."

  Although He Yichao was a good scout, but Lao Wang is really just a lump of mud? In that mysterious organization, people who don't have a few tricks up their sleeves would have died thousands of times. He fearlessly pulled out a miniature pistol from his pocket and pressed it against Chao's forehead, shouting: "Don't be so ungrateful, when your Uncle Wang was wandering the jianghu, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!"

  Chaozi let out a cold laugh: "Then it's just a matter of who makes the first move!" As soon as he finished speaking, his fingers had already slightly curved backwards.

  After a loud noise, the ice cave shook violently. The power of the Desert Eagle was not to be underestimated. Several small icicles on the ceiling fell off and crashed to the ground with a loud rattling sound.

  Just as the gunshot faded away, there were also sounds similar to shattering glass and fragments falling to the ground. A giant icicle less than 10 centimeters from Zhang Wenbin was instantly shattered, while a pair of white hands less than 5 centimeters from his eyes slowly moved away. A woman in white clothes slowly fell to the ground.

  At that moment, the whole world woke up.

  Chaozi and Lao Wang stared at the black muzzle in front of them, both frozen. They looked at each other incredulously, wondering how they had ended up drawing guns on each other - what exactly had happened?

  "What are you doing? Put down your guns!" A loud shout from a burly-faced man brought them back to reality.

  The two quickly withdrew their guns, then turned their gaze to see that Zhuo Xiong's arm was still slightly trembling, in a standard shooting stance, the muzzle of the gun was still smoking towards Cha Wenbin's direction.

  Cha Wenbin looked at the female corpse's arm, which was stiff and straight as it fell, with black fingernails like a pair of scissors. The palms of her hands had started to sweat. What was going on!

  "Are you all crazy?!" Zhuo Xiong shouted at them, "Wen Bin was almost killed by that woman and you're still fighting each other?! You're all from the same family, some of you are drawing your guns, others are stunned, what's wrong with you all?!"

  Cha Wenbin looked like a defeated rooster, dragging his limp body back into the crowd without saying a word, his face as pale as iron. Old Wang and Chaozi were like naughty children who had done something wrong, quietly waiting for everyone's criticism. Heng Roulian was completely bewildered by this sudden scene, while only Zhuo Xiong looked at each person with a red face.

  "We've all fallen into the trap, every single one of us. I never thought that even Cha Wenbin would fall for it. One misstep and we would have lost everything, burying ourselves in this place." Cha Wenbin put away his Seven Star Sword and sat down on the ground, not speaking again for a while.

  "What's going on?" Zhuo Xiong was the only one who witnessed this sudden change with a clear mind, and he urgently wanted to know what had happened to the team.

  Zha Wenbin originally wanted to pick up the water bottle on the ground and pour it heavily on his own head, but the temperature here was so low that the water bottle had become a lump of ice. He suddenly slammed the water bottle to the ground and cursed: "Damn!"

  When Zha Wenbin lost his temper, everyone was silent. After a while, he spoke up and said: "It was my fault, I almost caused a disaster, fortunately, Zhuo Xiong brothers took action, otherwise we would all have fallen here today. That thing is called Food Jue, it has confused our minds."

  "What's for food?" Old Wang chimed in, "Where is it?"

  "Look, it's the female corpse that Big Brother saw," said Cha Wenbin, pointing with his finger. "When he said he saw a woman, I should have been on guard. I didn't expect to almost fall into her trap because of my own complacency. She wasn't just any woman, but a female corpse wearing women's clothes, specializing in confusing people's minds. If not for Zhuo Xiong's timely shot, the consequences would be unthinkable."

  Zhuo Xiong looked at Heng Rou's face and asked: "You said you saw a woman earlier?"

  He scratched his head and said, "Just now I saw you all studying those lines and thought it was boring, so I walked a few steps forward. Then I saw a woman in white clothes rushing towards me with a smile, beckoning me to come over. I'm not stupid, who would wear such thin clothes in this icy weather? So I shouted to let you see. Then...then I saw the two of them pointing guns at each other, and then Wenbin was in front..."

  Cha Wenbin turned around and looked at Chaozi, asking: "What about you two? What's going on?"

  Chaozi's face turned red as he said, "I don't know what happened. I heard you yelling at me and immediately came over to argue with you. Then Old Wang pulled me back, which made me even angrier, and then we started fighting."

  "What about you?" Cha Wenbin looked at Old Wang without any politeness.

  "I don't know what happened either, I was pushed by Chaozi and immediately wanted to fight him, then I pulled out the gun."

  "Alas." Zhang Wenbin sighed and said, "The food demon is a thing that was used to harm people after they died. It's a kind of evil sorcery that I've seen in the 'Ghostly Spirits Classic' left behind by my master. It's a Taoist corpse-refining technique that's said to have been lost for a long time."

  This thing was originally used to guard the tomb, in order to prevent grave robbers from entering the tomb and damaging the owner of the tomb. Later, it was taken by some evil forces to harm people's lives. I thought that Dabao was hooked by a little ghost, but after collecting it, I found that his life soul was still in his body, but his earth soul was gone. This life soul is born relying on the heaven and earth two souls, as long as the person has not entered the reincarnation after death, the earth soul will stay in the underworld, how can it be gone?

  He said he saw a woman, and it was only then that I noticed an ice coffin in front of me, with a woman faintly visible inside. I thought she was the culprit, so I wanted to go take a look. After walking just a few steps, Chao Zi said something, and I immediately got angry and scolded him. In reality, at that time I had already fallen under the spell when I was collecting the soul of Dablock Brother, but I didn't realize it myself. If it wasn't for Zhuo Xiong's one shot destroying the ice coffin, I'm afraid I would have lost my life on the spot."

  Cha Wenbin's words made everyone involuntarily break out in a cold sweat. Who is Cha Wenbin, anyway? The evil spirits that were defeated one by one in the mountains of Qiufeng are countless, and yet he was actually bewitched. Now that we've only walked halfway through this ghostly place, something like this has already happened - can we still continue on our journey?

  Lao Wang was the organizer and he carefully asked: "Is that thing fierce?"

  Cha Wenbin was a straightforward person all his life, and he never spoke in a roundabout way. However, this time, he hesitated to speak, struggling several times before saying: "Forget it, I'll tell the truth. Actually, we can't blame that thing. This time, we should blame ourselves. The Food Ghost is just a low-level puppet, its skill is only to deal with the ghost in the three souls and seven spirits, but as long as our three souls are still there, the seven spirits will not leave the body. But this thing is good at taking advantage of people's weaknesses, that is, our mutual suspicion and dissatisfaction.

  We are all brothers, so let's speak straightforwardly. Chaozi has been reckless several times and almost caused big trouble. In fact, I also have complaints in my heart, but because of face, I didn't mention it, which is why that beast took advantage of this weakness to confuse my judgment. And Chaozi has always had some dissatisfaction with you, Old Wang, about the last time's matter, and there has been a gap between you two. You probably can't stand Chaozi's disrespect towards you either.

  Among us, the one who had the least chance of being controlled was Big Brother, because he was naturally simple-minded. However, that beast used its greatest strength to seal his Earth Soul's energy, but at most it could only hold out for a short while before he would automatically recover, and yet it deceived my eyes.

  Zhuo Xiong brothers unexpectedly became the only ones who were not affected, perhaps it was because of his uprightness and masculinity that he could suppress the evil spirit. We should all reflect on ourselves, it's really too shameful. If everyone's knot in their heart is not untied, then this trip will undoubtedly end in defeat.

  Cha Wenbin's words directly hit everyone's weakness, especially He Yichao. He knew that his biggest shortcoming was being impulsive and acting on emotions. When he was in the company, he had been criticized by the company commander for this very reason, and now it had almost cost him his life.

  He was the first to stand up, and after making a bow to Old Wang, he made another one to the crowd, saying: "What Brother Wenbin said is right, I have indeed been too rash in my actions, nearly harming all of you several times, this is disloyal; Brother Wenbin is my elder brother, but I often disobeyed his instructions and caused trouble everywhere, this is unfaithful; Uncle Wang, you watched me grow up, and you are also my master who taught me the ways, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, but I suspected and was dissatisfied with you several times, this is unfilial. This unfaithful, disloyal, and unfilial sinner apologizes to everyone, please forgive me!"

  Chaozi hung his head very low, the tears in his eyes kept swirling around, until today he finally knew how much his stinky illness had progressed. If something really happened just now, then even if he went underground, he would not have the face to see everyone again.

  Old Wang was the first to help him up, saying repeatedly: "Child, although my identity is different, I am also a good friend of your father. To say something else, you can even count as my nephew. At that time, when I considered sealing off the mountain, it wasn't proper either, and I owe you an apology, especially Wen Bin."

  At this point, the knot in their hearts was half untied. Cha Wenbin took advantage of the situation and pulled out the seven-colored small bowl, unscrewed the lid, and poured half a bowl of corn stalk wine from the stone father into it. He raised the wine bowl and said: "One person drinks one mouthful, from now on all unpleasant pasts are discarded, and we will move forward in unity!" He took the lead and drank a mouthful, then handed the bowl to Old Wang. Old Wang took the bowl without hesitation and also drank a big mouthful. Next was Chaozi, who looked like a criminal, holding the bowl with both hands and drinking it all before handing it to Zhuo Xiong, followed by Heng Roulian.

  In this way, the team's cohesion reached a new peak and laid a solid foundation for their future difficult journey.
