Fireballs fluttered through the dark forest, and the ghosts walked slowly. A few of us had no intention of catching up, so we prepared to bypass the ghosts. He walked backwards, but he hadn't taken a few steps before a fluttering fireball appeared in front of him.

This thing is a little strange, it is not uncommon for ghosts to appear in the mountains with spiritual power, but this one after the other is only a few steps away, and two ghost shadows of lanterns appear in a row, which is too frequent.

"We're so lucky?"

The fat man squatted down against the tree and said with some surprise.

"Let's go around, don't make trouble, our purpose is still to find the moon snake. ”

Lingqian took the lead and walked to the other side, and in the dark night forest, our group continued to bury our heads forward, but after walking for less than two minutes, the third lantern ghost came into view.

This time, I don't think it's a coincidence.

In just five minutes, three encounters with lantern ghosts, where can there be so many ghosts in such a small area?

"You see, there seems to be a fire on the ridge in the distance. It shouldn't be ordinary people, most of them are those lantern ghosts, what's going on?

Luo Qiong pointed to the ridge spreading in his line of sight and said, on the black lines, several bright spots appeared, as if all the lantern ghosts on the entire Taibai Mountain appeared tonight, like stars dotted in the night, bright and mysterious.

"I think they're all going in the same direction, so something can't be wrong, right?"

I said strangely.

"The appearance of powerful demons or spirits often causes changes in the sky, maybe these lantern ghosts feel the existence of the moon snake, we follow them, maybe we can find the moon snake?"

Lingqian's statement is not random speculation, when a powerful demon appears, up to the celestial phenomena and down to the ghosts will feel it. The ghost of the lantern may have appeared for this reason, and after thinking about it, I said, "Why don't we go and see what is going on, as long as we hide it well, it shouldn't cause any problems." ”

At that moment, everyone had no objections, so they aimed at the fireball closest to us and quietly approached it. After approaching about five meters, the ghost of the lantern can be seen clearly, and the appearance is still different from the previous one, this lantern ghost looks more like an adult man, and the figure is also slightly taller, but the whole body is still wrapped in black clothes, and the speed of movement is slow.

It's hard to imagine that a few of us are actually following a ghost, something that ordinary people are afraid to avoid, but it seems to me today that it is commonplace, perhaps, this is growth.

As I slowly moved forward, the number of fireballs around me became more and more dense, and sure enough, as I guessed, all the lantern ghosts were converging in one direction. In the dark forest, the light flickered from time to time, but the strange thing was that there was not too much yin qi in the air, and it was pitiful that there were so many ghosts gathered but there was little yin qi, and it was not even as strong as the ghost qi that Xiao Xiao emanated.

Luo Qiong looked around, and then said, "There are about a dozen lantern ghosts in the front and back, and there must be more in the back." How can there be so many?"

"Look ahead. ”

The fat man suddenly pointed ahead and said, I looked and saw that all the lantern ghosts stopped in a clearing in the middle of the mountain, as if they were surrounding something.

"I can't see clearly, I'll get closer. You guys keep an eye on the ...... for me."

As I spoke, I walked forward briskly, almost fifty meters forward, and at this moment I was very close to the group of lantern ghosts, and in the center of more than a dozen burning fireballs, a trace of red light was reflected. I looked intently, and they seemed to be surrounded by a red thing. But I still can't see clearly, I had to look around, the tree in front of me is not very tall, there is a thick branch about two meters above the ground, I jumped hard, grabbed the branch and slowly climbed up, stepped on the trunk little by little to climb to two meters, standing on a high place to look forward, this time I can finally see clearly!

Surrounded by a group of lantern ghosts, the thing that emitted red light turned out to be a gourd!

In the light of the fire, a gourd was placed upright on an ordinary square stone, red, which did not look special, just like the kind of processed gourd handicrafts that are often seen on the street. The red gourd has some lines wrapped around what look like flames, but this is anything but ordinary.

Not to mention that all the lantern ghosts have gathered here because of this gourd, and what I see with my eyes alone is peculiar. On the mouth of the open gourd, there was a steady stream of black yin qi flowing in, as if it had been absorbed by this gourd!

Therefore, so many lantern ghosts gathered together, but the yin qi around them was so faint, it seemed that it was all because of this gourd.

The red gourd, I am still young in the industry, although I see that this is a treasure, but I don't know which sect and which school of masters use it. At the same time, the number of lantern ghosts almost doubled, from a dozen to nearly thirty, but so many ghosts gathered together, but they didn't make a sound.

At this moment, one of the lantern ghosts couldn't hold back, and actually took a few steps forward, stood on the edge of the gourd, and then waved the fireball on his hand violently, and shook it on his head a few times in a row and then smashed it down, and the fireball drove a light and shadow in the air, but it suddenly went out at the moment of falling!

I really saw that the flames that were burning were extinguished the moment they fell. Only a cloud of black smoke floated up, and then the ghost figure that tried to attack the gourd let out a mournful roar, and its body turned into black yin qi and was inhaled into the gourd.

When this scene happened, the other lantern ghosts around him hurriedly retreated, not daring to get too close.

My heart moved slightly, this is really a treasure! We do nothing more than want to make a fortune, but there are too few demons and earth beasts, not to mention that it is very difficult to capture, and even if it is caught, how to deal with it requires special methods. Therefore, there are only a few people who can really make a fortune from this. But there is another type of person in the industry who is the opposite of us, and that is the ghost business, there are many ghosts in the world, and all kinds of ghosts can be sold at a good price. However, in order to do this business, it is necessary to have a suitable magic weapon for subduing the ghosts. It's similar to the magic weapon given by Daba, but the price of this kind of thing is not cheap, and it is priceless.

In fact, I have recently regretted that I made that deal when I first met Lee Dunzhu, and if it were placed today, I would have relied on that treasure to make it back.

But God gave me a big gift this time! I have to get my hands on the gourd anyway. Not to mention who fell here, I saw it, it's mine!

Slowly climbed down the tree, quietly returned to the fat man, and as soon as he said what he saw, Lingqian immediately spoke: "Are you sure it's a gourd that can collect ghosts?"

"I'm sure, I haven't seen anyone cast a spell, but the ghost was sucked in as soon as it got close, and it never came out again. ”

I nodded.

"I see, that's why the lantern ghosts gathered, I'm afraid they sensed the threat so they gathered to destroy the gourd. ”

"Do you know the origin of this gourd, what kind of organization or sect used it?"

It's naturally good to ask more questions, so don't get into trouble in the future.

"This is a rumor, there are ups and downs in the sect in our circle, and no one or sect has been prosperous for thousands of years. A few years ago, I heard that there was a very large organization a thousand years ago, which was quite large, and it was all a group of people who traded in ghosts. Everyone in this organization wears a gourd, and this gourd is a ritual weapon. I think it's probably from that time. ”

Lingqian said after thinking about it.

"A thousand years ago, that time was too long, not to mention that this gourd is also an antique, it must be valuable." ”

The fat man smiled with glowing eyes.

"Then there is no need to say, hehe, this is God's way to make us rich, we must get that gourd. Lingqian, do you want it?"

I glanced at Lingqian and asked.

"I don't want it, our spirit family has never lacked this kind of treasure, but I advise you not to be greedy, there are so many lantern ghosts, if you cause a riot of ghosts, then you will be in danger. I will not mix with you in this matter, but you will get rich yourselves. ”

Lingqian didn't want to join, and the fat man and I didn't want her to participate, so we simply left her alone and discussed it ourselves. “
