Chapter Thirty-Seven: Return to Reality and Be Taught a Lesson by the Birds
In the blazing firelight, a missing person notice was thrown into the fire, and it was about to be burned to ashes.
Suddenly, the yin wind blew, and the corner of the printing paper with Tong Xin's photo floated up with the wind, flying into the air with the sparklight.
My gaze unconsciously moved with the piece of paper, and it was not until I was completely looking ahead that I suddenly saw two older brothers in police uniforms standing on the other side of the fire, and one of them reached out and sandwiched the piece between his fingers.
"Lao Hu, what do you see Wang Jun is burning for the two of us?"
"I'll see. Well, missing person notice. Hey, this little girl looks familiar, isn't it the one we just sent back!"
"Yo, it's just a coincidence, then let's take that guy to get people back. ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
The two elder brothers in police uniforms turned around and walked away as they spoke, and the corner of paper was carried away by one of them. I didn't know what this scene looked like to Wu Ming, but I saw him standing there stunned for a moment, and then chased after him.
The three of them walked through the streets and alleys one after the other, and went straight to the big locust tree in the playground behind the school.
With a "snap", the shovel fell at Wu Ming's feet, and the two police brothers turned their heads and left, leaving only Wu Ming, who looked confused, standing in place.
After a long time, Wu Ming seemed to have thought of something, bent down and grabbed the shovel and began to dig a pit under the tree.
At first, he just lowered his head and dug a pit without saying a word, but as time went by, Wu Ming began to become impatient. Because it's been digging for so long. He never found anything, not even a single hair.
In the end, Wu Ming, who was almost collapsed, collapsed in the pit he dug out, holding the missing person notice printed with Tong Xin's photo and crying, and kept shouting "Tong Xin, where are you"!
I watched everything that was happening in front of me, not wanting to miss any details, not because I was curious about Wu Ming's emotions, but because I wanted to know how he buried himself in the end.
I watched patiently, waiting for a critical moment to come. But when this critical moment really comes. I didn't react at all.
Wu Ming was still crying, and suddenly his voice disappeared all of a sudden, and I only saw that the tunnel he had just dug had turned into a bottomless hole, and the other party had fallen into it and disappeared. Then the branches and leaves of the thousand-year-old acacia shook and drooped. Smooth out the potholed ground in an instant.
"It's not...... Damn, what's going on? Mr. Li. This...... What's going on?"
It's hard to imagine that it happened so suddenly, and if it weren't for the lack of body, I would have rushed over and dug up on the ground to see. Pity. There is no if, I can only ask Li Xueqing.
Li Xueqing didn't seem to expect such a thing to happen, and was silent for a while before responding: "Uh, this, this, I guess it should be that the psychic Gu Huai was moved by Wu Ming, so he used his own method to help Wu Ming find the person he was looking for." ”
"What? Burying people alive is a help?"
"Well, it sounds a little incomprehensible, but who can understand the mind of a tree. Okay, according to the day, Wu Ming should also enter the ghost village at about this time. What is happening in the village, there is nothing to see. As for this, it happens to be connected with the part you just talked about about the locust tree spitting snakes, I don't think there is anything to doubt now, classmate Yan, let's go back. ”
"Wait, wait, Mr. Li, I haven't figured out how that Tong Xin died. ”
Seeing that Mr. Li proposed to return to reality again, I hurriedly persuaded him.
In fact, when I came to 06, what I wanted to see most was how Tong Xin died, and figure out why she hated Han Zhen's gang so much. But now that I follow Wu Ming, I can't see this paragraph at all, of course I'm unwilling.
"Teacher Li, can you take me back two months ago, let's see what happened to Tong Xin. ”
"This is a bit difficult, have you seen Tong Xin?"
"Nope. ”
"That's the end of it. My opening of the Heavenly Eye this time is based on your spiritual eye, and Wu Ming is the goal. It's not hard to switch goals, but the key is that the goal of switching needs to be someone you've met. You haven't seen Tong Xin with your own eyes, and you won't see anything even if you go back in time. ”
"Ah, Mr. Li, is there no other way?"
"Otherwise...... By the way, I know what to do. Let's go, let's go back!"
As Li Xueqing's words fell, I only felt a flower in front of me, and in an instant, I returned to the office of the dean of the spirit school.
Returning to reality, Li Xueqing didn't say anything, and went straight back to his desk and took out a map of China. I leaned over to see that there were dozens of black dots scattered on the huge map.
Li Xueqing looked at the map and muttered to himself.
"The ancestor of the Heavenly Dao is a mark made on a locust tree, this locust tree has lived for thousands of years, the so-called 'Shandong no dead locust', where the eight achievements are Shandong. Well, there are three Shandong markers recorded on the map, Penglai Immortal Island is impossible, and Mount Tai is not like it, so it must be this!"
Li Xueqing stretched out his finger and pressed it on a black spot, I looked at it carefully, and couldn't help blurting out: "Yucheng?!"
"Yes, Yucheng, Shandong, the hometown of King Yu, setting up a connection point outside a ghost village here, is a bit like the style of the ancestor of the Heavenly Dao. Mr. Yan, let's go, let's go there now. ”
"Go there...... Teacher, do you mean to take me out?"
"Yes, let's go directly to the locust tree and find out Tong Xin, if you want to know how Tong Xin died, is there a more effective way than to look at her. ”
"Uh, no, it's just ......"
I really don't know what to say about this Mr. Li's decision. There's nothing wrong with his solution, it's just that he wants to use it, and that means he's going to take me out of the ghost village and into the real world.
What does that mean? This means that my brother can go!
I'm going to take this opportunity to run away and go home?
I thought so in my heart, but it's a pity that Li Xueqing's next words directly "poured a bucket of cold water" on me.
"Mr. Yan, what do you think? I'm just taking you to the designated place to see a ghost, don't think you can take advantage of this to escape. Because if you go out at this time, you are not a living person at all, if your information is erased from the ghost village, and before you go home, your family will see your body first. ”
"Uh......"
"Okay, don't think about those useless ones. I'll call the academy first and ask them to control Wu Ming. Wait for a while to figure things out, and I'm thinking about how to clean him up, so you can honestly wait for me here for a while. ”
Li Xueqing threw down this sentence and turned his head to make a phone call.
I was a little embarrassed to be recognized, rubbing my hands together and not knowing what to do, and at this moment, the big parrot named Dudu flapped its wings and landed on my shoulder.
"Stupid, stupid!"
"Hey, your uncle, even a bird dares to scold me!"
"Stupid, it's you stupid who scolds, who came to the ghost village for the first time, wasn't he full of thoughts about going back, what's so embarrassing!"
"You...... Huh? You know what I'm thinking?"
"Know a little, know a little. ”
Listening to the words of the human beings coming out of the bird's beak, I was shocked at the time, it is not strange that parrots can speak, and it is amazing that parrots can read people's minds.
"What's so magical. I am the smartest parrot in the world, I started mixing with Brother Qing twenty years ago, and now I have obtained bachelor's degree certificates in five majors and master's degree certificates in three majors, and I am currently studying for a doctorate in biological evolution, and I am a visiting associate professor in the School of Life and Science of Tiandao University.
"Study for a doctorate, be a visiting professor, let's talk about it!"
"What nonsense, do you think that I, the vice president of the Spirit Academy, am in vain! Yan Shifei, during the time you opened the Heavenly Eye, I have already completed the admission procedures for you, and you are now officially a student of the Spirit College of Tiandao University. In other words, from now on, you are in my charge, so pay attention to the attitude of talking to me in the future. Annoy me, be careful to give you a failing final exam!"
"No, didn't Teacher Li say before that there was no failure in the exam?"
"Hmph, he's the dean and he's not in charge of the exam, do you believe what he says? Okay, don't say more, you can reflect on it yourself! Remember, you can have the idea of going home, but don't try to do it, because the consequences are definitely not what you want. ”
After the parrot finished speaking, flapped its wings and returned to the bookshelf next to the desk.
Watching it comb its feathers comfortably, I was completely devastated.
Am I being threatened by a bird? It seems that there is not only a threat, but also humiliation and ...... Naked humiliation.
Damn, who's going to give me a gun and let me blow that bird's head off!
As soon as I thought of this, I saw the parrot raise its head suddenly, and a cold light reflected in its eyes, which made me break out in a cold sweat.
Damn, what I just thought to myself, it can't be heard, right?
So what to do, what to do?
I stood in place and was very entangled, but fortunately, at this time, Li Xueqing walked back in front of me after making a phone call, relieving the pressure in my heart.
"Yan is wrong, I just called the academy and the school affairs office respectively, and someone from Wu Ming's side will soon find him and control him temporarily. Let's go and see how Tong Xin died, so as to know whether the person Wu Ming killed deserved it. Follow me. ”
After Li Xueqing finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, I left the office with him, and then walked up the stairs of the hell maze until I reached a closed room before stopping.
This room is not big or small, it is more than 20 square meters, surrounded by walls, no windows and no doors. Even where we just entered, looking back at the bare wall.
Li Xueqing stood in the center of the room and shouted directly into the air: "We are going to exit the No. 25 marked point." (To be continued......)
