Chapter 551: Mountain Forest Haunted House
Zhang Liying was involved in Zhou Xun's business last time, and she was also responsible, but this time it was obvious that Zhou Xun deliberately framed her, intimidated her with despicable means, and dragged her in.
Just this morning, Zhou Xun called Zhang Liying out of the classroom, saying that after the people in their family came into contact with other cultivators, they had to keep a file for them.
Zhou Xun wanted to ask Zhang Liying whether he wanted to say that he would say that she was a peerless master with extremely strong ability and flying swords, or that she would like to be said to be a lucky person who had a little talent, inadvertently learned some spells, and only solved a few incidents by playing crookedly.
Of course, Zhang Liying hopes that she will say that she is the latter one, if she prepares a case in a family, won't her life be ruined?
"I see, you like the second one. Okay, then you can come with me on Saturday. Zhou Xun came to this conclusion clearly.
Zhang Liying looked at the expressionless Zhou Xun in disbelief, it's too much, how can she be like this! She has now become the dough in Zhou Xun's hands, and she can be pinched round or flattened by others. After thinking about it again, she whispered, "Can I not go?"
"Yes, but I'll tell you about it!"
"Then why do you want me to go with you?"
"You'll know when the time comes!"
"Can I call in sick......
"Yes, I won't force you, but ......"
"Okay, okay, I got it...... If I sacrifice, I won't let you go!"
"Thank you, when the time comes, you will be a ghost, let's fight it out again, I won't lose to you all the time!"
"What......" Really, Zhang Liying glanced at Zhou Xun.
Although Zhang Liying was unwilling in every way, she could only be at the mercy of Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun asked her to go home and prepare, saying that there was a entrusted matter to deal with, but in fact, Zhang Liying was her free assistant, and finally Zhou Xun drove Zhang Liying out of the city.
I really don't know what happened to the traffic police, why could Zhou Xun still drive when she was obviously under the age of 18! Along the way, Zhang Liying really hoped that the traffic police would come down from the sky at a critical moment and stop the driver, who could not have a driver's license at all, so that she could be free.
It's a pity that the traffic police don't appear at the critical moment when the people need it, and Zhang Liying was taken away by Zhou Xun in this way.
Zhang Liying couldn't help it in the car, and repeatedly asked them what they were going to do, I don't know if Zhou Xun was cursed too much by Zhang Liying or what, and finally began to find out their conscience, and told Zhang Liying the purpose of their trip:
"There used to be a village in that forest, but half of it was buried because of mudslides caused by heavy rains. The government planned a new village for them, and the whole village was moved to another place. But there are still many old houses on the site of the village. A week ago, some mountain friends went into the mountains and used the old village as a camp, and four of them fell into a coma. ”
"It's because of another mudslide, right?" "Although it is the beginning of spring, there are often torrential rains, which must be abnormal weather caused by global warming, which is a punishment for human beings for disrespecting nature.
Zhou Xun turned his head and glanced at her: "It's a shame that you are still an honor student, and I can't figure out this kind of problem, if it's just a mudslide, will they come to me?"
"Maybe ......"
"Those four people became like that in their sleep, and they weren't sick or hurt. If there is no reason, they wake up in the morning. They had frightened expressions on their faces, as if they had seen something terrible. ”
"I'm scared. ”
"The doctor said no. ”
Zhang Liying doesn't know anything about medicine: "Then it's ......"
"The soul is lost. Zhou Xun made a scientific conclusion.
Zhang Liying rolled her eyes, speechless.
"They are not doing very well in the hospital at the moment. Doctors say that even with the best medicines, they will live for only ten days. The families of the four men wanted to know the answer. So the team leader used the relationship to find me. ”
"And I'm a giveaway, I deserve to be unlucky, right? Zhang Liying glared at her fiercely.
"Depending on what you say, I'll give you half of the honorarium, don't worry. "Zhou Xun always calculates the accounts very clearly.
"How much?" Zhang Liying did not hide her preference for money.
Most people in the world don't hate money, let alone Zhang Liying, who is a poor student who has to feed a large family.
"Half, that's a hundred thousand. ”
Wow, it's really a profitable deal, just half of it has 100,000, doesn't that mean that it will cost 200,000 in total?
Well, since she is destined to be unable to escape, it is still good to have 100,000 yuan of consolation money, Zhang Liying thought so in the car, but after she got out of the car and followed Zhou Xun into the mountain, she realized that the 100,000 yuan was not so easy to earn.
In the evening, I got out of the car and entered the mountain, and the road I started was still walking, to be exact, there was still a road to walk. Although the roads in the mountains are made of sand and stones, which have been eroded by wind and rain as the villagers have relocated, at least there are roads.
After dark, the mountain gets steeper and steeper, and the mountain road does not know where to go, so you can only trek between the slopes and trees. Zhang Liying is the kind of "weak" girl whose athletic performance is always on the verge of passing.
She has always faithfully practiced her preferences, so she hates sports, so her physical strength is very poor. As the light of the night dimmed, her physical exertion was even greater, and she already felt like she was reaching her limit.
Why do some people take mountaineering as a hobby? It's really good that they have enough to eat and have nothing to do, and it's great that they meet ghosts in the mountains, so that they don't get into trouble for an innocent person like themselves.
It was all dark, and they had been hurrying in the mountains, their destination was a haunted house on the mountain, and Zhou Xun even wanted to get there at midnight. Zhang Liying felt that she was doing something crazy, and she felt that she was about to lose it.
"I hate you, Zhou Xun!" Zhang Liying fell heavily to the ground after tripped over a tree root, and she covered her nose and screamed. Zhou Xun shrugged his shoulders without looking back, and continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard.
Zhang Liying watched her Zhou Xun walk farther and farther away with the only light source, so she had to reluctantly get up desperately and speed up her pace to keep up, she didn't want to be thrown into this remote haunted place.
Black Beans ran around at her feet, encouraging her with barking from time to time. Bringing black beans with you is really the right choice, at least psychologically, it can be a pillar of its own.
Originally, Zhang Liying didn't plan to go out with black beans, because she was traveling with Zhou Xun, she was afraid that Zhou Xun would see the difference of black beans, and then expose all the secrets of Zhang Liying's family.
But Ji Ao and Heidou repeatedly insisted on letting Heidou follow, and no secret was more important than Zhang Liying's own safety. So under the two-to-one voting result, Black Bean followed Zhang Liying into the mountain.
With black beans by her side, Zhang Liying always feels very secure. It may be that the natural general style of Black Bean makes her feel that she is not carrying a dog, but following an elder with outstanding ability.
In any case, even if Zhou Yi, the general of the underworld, is now reincarnated as a dog, his experience and knowledge are enough to help Zhang Liying deal with most situations. At least that's what Zhang Liying thinks, she always has a blind trust in black beans.
"Black Bean, if I can't walk for a while, will you run away with me?"
Heidou didn't say a word, and decided to run to the front again to explore the way, lest Zhang Liying really let herself carry her.
It knew that if the girl found that there was no way out, she would become very strong and motivated, and if she knew that there was something else to rely on, she would always want someone else to do it for her.
Zhang Liying sighed breathlessly, why didn't this black bean reincarnate into a horse?
Zhou Xun pinched the time just right, they had just walked for a while, and when midnight came, they had already come to a small hillside.
At the foot of the hill is the mountain village that Zhou Xun said. Although the sky and the earth were dark, Zhang Liying could still see the outline of the small mountain village, perhaps because the color of the village was darker than the surroundings.
Zhang Liying rubbed her eyes, and in an instant, she seemed to see some houses on the other side of the village, but when she looked closely, it was a smooth hillside, and the hillside was made of mud and rocks rolling down the mountain.
That's the traces of that mudslide, and just below the rocks, there should still be half a village of houses, livestock, and eight people who didn't have time to escape......
Zhang Liying didn't know when her yin and yang eyesight began to adapt to such darkness, and the village under the hillside became clearer and clearer in her eyes.
"What do you think?" Zhou Xun asked as he stood beside her, leaning over and looking down.
"It's terrible......" Zhang Liying squeezed out these four words from between her teeth.
Just walking into that kind of gloomy village was bad enough, and what was even worse was that Zhang Liying saw something whirling around the village, like a sleeveless trench coat, something with a hint of blue color was churning there, and it looked very large, almost like half a roof from a distance.
Even if the volume is not proportional to the strength, how much does it matter, right? If possible, Zhang Liying really wants to stop there.
"Did you see that?" Zhou Xun asked her with a sideways face.
Zhang Liying nodded and said, "It's so big...... It looks horrible......"
Zhou Xun looked at her in surprise. In Zhou Xun's eyes, the entire village was shrouded in a layer of black gas, and in the swirling black gas, there seemed to be a human wail faintly, and the atmosphere of the whole village was very strange, but what did the word "big" refer to? Could it be that Zhang Liying saw something that she couldn't see?
Zhou Xun was silent for a while and said, "Let's go down." ”
"Can you not go down?" Zhang Liying made a final struggle.
"Yes, then when I go back, I will report your affairs truthfully. Zhou Xun threatened without hesitation.
"Let's go......" Zhang Liying had to compromise.
"Wang...... "Black Beans had already run down ......the hill and turned back to them and shouted at them.
After descending the hill, you will find the entrance to the village. At this time, the light cluster that Zhou Xun used to illuminate disappeared, and the girl, who was originally surrounded by warm light, immediately fell into the darkness.
Zhou Xun took out another talisman, and with a shake of his hand, the talisman conjured a light cluster, and this time the light cluster floated above Zhang Liying. Zhang Liying knew that Zhou Xun did this intentionally, because Zhou Xun knew very well that he had no actual combat experience.
Zhang Liying couldn't tell Zhou Xun that she actually didn't need lighting anymore, because now everything around her became very clear in her eyes, alas, this is obviously not a good sign.
But Fu is really very practical, and having such a warm hue of light in front of you always makes people feel much better. Why doesn't this guy Ji Ao prepare a few more of these talismans for himself?
Hei Dou seemed to guess her inner thoughts: The lighting charm made by Ji Ao will only emit ghost fire, do you want it?
