Chapter 287: I'm Useful
"No, I can't. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Mingchuan put his hands in his pants pockets, looking very lazy, and his demeanor was also as listless as usual, but his tone was irrefutable. "This ghost has to be kept, I'm useful. ”
"Useful?" Listening to Ming Chuan's words, Gao Shan Jing showed a puzzled look, "What can such a ghost be for?"
"I have something I want to know. Mingchuan said, "I let one go before, and if I let this one go again this time, I don't know when it will be when I want to find a clue next time." ”
"Oh, what kind of thing?" Takayama raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know. Mingchuan shrugged.
"Huh?" Gao Shanjing's eyes widened in surprise, "I don't know?"
"yes. Ming Chuan sighed, and said with a somewhat helpless expression, "I encountered something before, which aroused my curiosity. ”
He had planned to ignore the idle thing, but now that he had encountered a ghost similar to the previous geist, he felt that there might be something other than a chance coincidence. To put it bluntly, he thinks that there is probably some inevitable connection between it.
If he still has the strength to solve the current problem, he will go and find the "thing" that consumes these ghosts.
Since he had made such a plan, Ming Chuan thought about keeping this ghost as a clue.
"Oh, that's it...... Then there is no way. Gao Shan Jing smiled and said, "But what are you going to do?
"Well...... Mingchuan scratched his hair with some annoyance, "I'm just having a headache for this." ”
"Haha. Gao Shanjing laughed, looking very happy, "In that case, do you want me to help?"
"Do you have a good idea?" Ming Chuan raised his eyebrows.
"Well, of course. Gao Shan Jing smiled and took out something from his pocket and handed it to Ming Chuan.
Ming Chuan took it and saw that it was an old-fashioned matchbox.
"It's hard to see that you still have such antiques in your home. Ming Chuan took the matchbox made of paper and flipped it up and down.
The matchbox, which was no larger than the size of a palm, was flattened, with a female head painted on the front of the case in the style of an old-fashioned poster, and on the back were words and icons describing the maker, flanked by black sandskin paper to rub against the ignition.
This kind of thing from the last century is rarely seen now, but I didn't expect the Takayama family to still have a collection.
However, Ming Chuan knew very well that the one Gao Shan Jing took out was definitely not an ordinary matchbox.
He pushed the inner box out of the shell, and it was empty, without a match. However, there are some fine lines drawn on the bottom of the inner box, and if you look closely, you can see that it is a miniature rune.
"This is a gadget that my ancestors made when they had nothing to do, and I thought it was interesting to bring it with me, but I didn't expect it to come in handy. Gao Shanjing said with a smile.
"What's the use of this thing?" Ming Chuan didn't know much about rune formations and the like, so for a while, he couldn't tell what type of miniature rune this miniature rune could play a role.
"It's a small enchantment rune, similar to the one drawn on the enchantment rune, but with a slight change. Takayama explained with a smile, "It has the effect of an enchantment charm, but it's more convenient, and you can take ordinary ghosts in it and carry it around." But it's limited to ordinary ghosts, and there's no way to deal with ghosts. ”
The effect has been weakened, but the convenience has been improved. The guy who made this matchbox is definitely a genius when it comes to rune formations.
Ming Chuan thought in his heart, and soon equated the maker with Takayama Kaguya.
"How do you use this thing?" Ming Chuan put the matchbox in his palm and looked at it over and over again, but he didn't see any mechanism in it.
"It's easy to use it as you normally would when you activate runes. Gao Shan replied with a smile.
Ming Chuan raised his eyebrows, did not drip blood on the matchbox, but just urged the ghost qi in his body, so that the ghost qi slowly concentrated towards the palm of his hand.
The graphic on the bottom of the inner box of the matchbox glows a dark red sheen under the influence of ghostly energy.
The ghost's body in Jing Hong's hand shook violently, and then flew into the matchbox as if attracted by a huge attraction.
After the ghost flew in, Ming Chuan pushed the inner box into the shell and locked the ghost inside.
Since practicing that martial art, he has become more and more comfortable with the control of the ghost energy. But that's not enough, it's still a long way from being able to control it as you want.
Putting the matchbox in his pocket, Ming Chuan said to Gao Shan Jing: "Put this here for me first, and I will return it to you in a few days." ”
Gao Shanjing said generously: "I don't need to return it, this little thing is a one-time consumable, and it is useless after using it once." I have a lot of toys like this at home. ”
Is this a show of wealth? Ming Chuan said in his heart.
But since the other party said so, he was not hypocritical, shrugged his shoulders and accepted it generously.
Now that this little ghost has been dealt with, the next step is to set off towards Old Man Zhang's residence.
Ming Chuan looked at the wilderness in front of him, thought for a while, turned to Pan Shi and said, "After passing through here, how far do you need to go?"
"There's still a little more to walk, and it's a bit of a detour, and there's no one to lead you to find a place. Pan Shi said.
"That's right. Ming Chuan originally planned to let Pan Shi stay here, but when he heard his words, he could only let him lead the way, "When we can find the way ourselves, you can turn around and go back." ”
Pan Shi shrugged, kicked the stones under his feet away, and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to involve you too much." I'll be the first to run away when the situation isn't good. ”
Having seen the power of ghosts, Pan Shi felt that he hadn't lived enough, and he didn't want to risk his life.
Helping Mingchuan this time is for the sake of him saving his own life, otherwise he doesn't want to have anything to do with these exorcists.
Ming Chuan saw that Pan Shi understood things very well, so he was relieved.
"Let's go, if we delay any longer, it will be dark. Gao Shanjing urged on the side.
Ming Chuan nodded and took a step forward.
This section of the road was very difficult to walk, and they had to walk for more than half an hour when it would have taken only ten minutes to complete.
I finally passed through the pile of rubble, but there was a large muddy wasteland behind it. It had just rained last night, and the mud on the ground was so wet and slippery that it took some effort to pull up your shoes when you stepped on them.
"What the hell is going on in this place?" The area of the wasteland was much larger than he had imagined, Ming Chuan frowned a little puzzled, "There is such a large area of wasteland left unmanaged. "In the modern era where every inch of land is at a premium, this kind of thing is really a bit unbelievable. (To be continued.) )
