Chapter 526: Ghosts

Tick.

A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead, at this moment, after learning the number of mantises, Zhao Ping panicked, completely panicked, he was calm as usual for the first time, he was afraid for the first time, and felt cold for the first time, not only sweat on his forehead, but even the palms of his hands holding the steering wheel were gradually covered with sweat stains.

At the same time, the man with glasses also began to frequently ask himself in his heart, questioning himself: Is it worth it for the benefit of not knowing if there is any? Is it worth the risk?

Pity......

It's late, it's too late, it's useless to regret it now, he has already set off, has rushed to the goal, and is even about to arrive in Yinshan, and the current situation is indeed on the verge of having to make a move, and he can't regret it, let alone turn around.

Fear swept through Zhao Ping's heart at this moment, swept through Yao Fujiang's heart, and with the help of Chen Xiaoyao's mouth, an unimaginably terrible death crisis was placed in front of the two.

Breaking free of thought and shifting their eyes, at this moment, through the car window, staring ahead, looking at the Yin Mountain that is getting closer and closer, looking at the mountain that is so huge that it occupies almost the entire line of sight, everyone faintly has a feeling, an indescribable shocking conjecture:

Perhaps, this trip to Yinshan is the last mission in their lives, the last time they see the sun.

………

There is no endless road in the world, no matter how far or near the road is, as long as you keep moving, you will always reach the end in the end.

There's no denying the adage that you can run a dead horse, but for cars, it's only a matter of time before they reach the finish line.

With the passage of time, 20 minutes passed quickly, the roar of the car, Yinshan is getting closer and closer, in addition, the three people also found that the closer to Yinshan, the more barren it is, the more desolate the scenery outside the window also gives people a sense of desolation, and there is no other car or even half a figure around, especially when there are still thousands of meters away from Yinshan, the asphalt road in front of it gradually disappears, replaced by a potholed dirt road.

The car, continue to drive, turn the tires in the bumps.

When there is only the last kilometer left from Yinshan, even the dirt road is gone, the front has become a wasteland, a wasteland full of weeds and gravel, seeing that there is no road for cars to drive, in desperation, stop the car and turn off the engine, push the car door, the three of them have backpacks and get off the car and walk forward, soon, after walking hundreds of meters forward, they arrived at the end, they reached the goal, and officially came to the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Looking up, as far as the eye can see, you can see that this Yin Mountain is huge, stretching and towering, at first glance it gives people a sense of powerlessness, just like ants looking up at the building, not close to the eyes can never realize their own insignificance, the only thing to be thankful for is that although Yin Mountain is big, the slope of the mountain is not too steep, similar to the gentle slope of the hills, on the whole, you can go up without climbing alone, and at this moment, the three of them stand quietly under the mountain and look up, observe the mountain, and browse the dense vegetation mountain in front of them.

"Goo."

Thinking that he was about to enter the mountain in front of him soon, at this moment, Yao Fujiang, who was on the side of Zhao Ping and Chen Xiaoyao, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his legs were faintly weak, and he looked quite nervous, but unfortunately this time his nervousness was not ignored by others, and no one cared about the young man's feelings, but gathered around him under Chen Xiaoyao's greeting.

"Na, count them all by yourself, 30 sheets per person, I know how to use them, I don't have to repeat the description, and, remember to save on use."

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Xiaoyao took the lead in making a move, opened the lid of the box, and then divided the 90 pieces of Dao talisman that was carefully made last night into three copies and sent them one by one, and handed them to Zhao Yao and the others. ”

As said earlier, the main purpose of the three of them coming to Yinshan is to get the Soul Flag, and the Soul Flag is located in the Judge Temple, it is true that it is not too difficult to find a building in the limited area of the mountain forest, as long as there is enough time to always find it, the truth is at a loss, but unfortunately the tens of thousands of lonely souls entrenched here are like a time bomb threatening them at all times, plus Chen Xiaoyao also stated earlier that he did not know the precise location of the Judge Temple, in order to avoid blindly looking for a waste of time, with a certain thought, the man with glasses retreated to the second, began to ask tentatively, asking if the other party knew the general location of the Judge Temple.

Yes, even if you can't know the exact location, it doesn't matter, as long as you know the general area, you will eventually gain something by finding the right direction.

Not to mention, Zhao Ping didn't ask, Chen Xiaoyao really didn't disappoint him when he asked, the voice fell, he raised his head and scratched his head, the young Taoist priest nodded and replied: "General direction, well, there is some impression, although I have never been to Yinshan but my master came once when he was young, according to my master, the judge temple is located in the northwest of the mountain, so after entering the mountain for a while, the three of us have been walking towards the northwest, the current time is 9:05 in the morning, if everything goes well, Then around noon everyone can arrive at the Judge's Temple, and then return and leave in the afternoon. ”

(Unfortunately, this is only if everything goes well.) )

After listening to Chen Xiaoyao's estimate, Zhao Ping nodded silently, raised his hand to hold his glasses on the bridge of his nose, turned the corner of his eyes at will, glanced at Yao Fujiang, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw that the flat-headed young man was pale, and the whole person trembled, as if there was not a mountain in front of him but a ghostly road leading to the underworld.

Seeing this, the glasses man's eyes narrowed slightly, or what Yao Fujiang, who was worried about at the moment, didn't notice was ...... Just now, Zhao Ping's eyes flashed when he looked at him, a trace of cold light that was not easy to be noticed.

The next moment, looking at the rugged mountain road in front of him that was still barely recognizable, and having made up his mind, Zhao Ping stopped inking, and immediately ordered the two beside him: "This is the end of the discussion, time is pressing, let's go into the mountain." ”

………

If all the risk factors are removed, strictly speaking, the scenery of Yinshan is still good, at least not lose a few nearby ornamental mountains that have been developed into tourist attractions early, the slope here is gentle, not as rugged as other mountains, of course, the so-called scenery is only for ordinary people, for the executors even if it is ten times better looking here, it has no meaning, after all, they are not here to travel, but to play with their lives, to this evil and fierce mountain that no one has set foot on because of the trouble.

Da, da, da.

At present, Chen Xiaoyao, Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang are walking in a rugged mountain road, they are lined up in a vertical line, Chen Xiaoyao is at the front and is responsible for leading the way, Zhao Ping is in the middle, and Yao Fujiang is at the end, the three of them have been walking on the grassy mountain road for about 20 minutes, during which everything is normal, nothing happened, only the slight rustle of the mountain wind blowing through the surrounding vegetation.

This is a good phenomenon, nothing happened is exactly what the three of them want to see the most, no one will be bored, no one will be bored, the three of them wish that this boring silence could continue forever, last forever, last until the task is completed and leave Yin Mountain, it doesn't matter if you are tired, anyway, the executor who exercises regularly is really not afraid of climbing the mountain.

However, when it comes to tiredness and physical exertion, as the walking continues, an unexpected phenomenon occurs......

"Whew, whew, whew!"

Walking along the mountain road, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly waved his hand, and then sat on a large stone on the side of the road and never walked again, and then he gasped for breath, raised his hand and continued to wipe his sweat, seeing that he was as tired as if he had just finished running a marathon, seeing Chen Xiaoyao stop advancing, and seeing the other party sweating like rain and panting, behind him, Zhao Ping and Yao Fujiang suddenly wondered, instinctively stopped, and after a little observation, Zhao Ping was puzzled.

Yes, although the physical strength required to walk along the mountain road for 20 minutes is indeed greater than that of flat land, but the slope of this Yin Mountain is not steep, not to mention that as executors, they all have good physique, take him Zhao Ping as an example, before entering the cursed space, his physique can only be said to be average, but since entering the cursed space, coupled with a series of supernatural tasks, the man's physical fitness has increased significantly now, as for Chen Xiaoyao, he does not deny that the other party belongs to the newcomer, It stands to reason that the young man's martial arts that do not lose Cheng Ying's strength and the physique that has been practicing martial arts all year round should be stronger, no matter what, he should not be tired like this, let alone just walk for 20 minutes on the mountain road, and he is so tired that he urgently needs to sit down and rest.

What's going on?

Seeing the appearance of Daoist Chen, not only Zhao Ping was puzzled, Yao Fujiang was also suspicious, raised his feet and walked closer, at this moment, looking at the guy in front of him who was sweating and panting endlessly, the flat-headed young man was surprised, so surprised that he didn't know what to say for a while, so he and Zhao Ping looked at him together, and both of them cast puzzled glances at him.

Until the puzzle reached the apex, and he couldn't guess the reason for the time being, his brows froze, and Zhao Ping first asked: "What's wrong with you?" Look at the way you look, it seems...... Tired? ”

Hearing the question of the man with glasses, on one side, on the stone, Chen Xiaoyao, who was sitting and resting, didn't know how to answer, or even he couldn't understand why he was so tired, yes, is it really weird, how long has it been? Can 20 minutes of mountain road tire him like this? Can 20 minutes lead to a massive loss of energy? Is this possible? Not only is it impossible to say that he should be the strongest one among the 3 people, the truth is true, I never thought that the reality was the opposite, I walked for less than half an hour, and the two guys behind me had nothing to do, but I was tired like a dog!?

It's not scientific!

Thinking of this, wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head, Chen Xiaoyao replied helplessly: "Huh, huh, I don't know, always, I always feel a little heavy ...... body"

Well?

I don't know why, for some reason, Chen Xiaoyao's voice fell, and on the other side, Zhao Ping was stunned at first, and then it was as if he had discovered something terrible, and the scene changed drastically, and the whole person took a few steps back! even almost knocked down Yao Fujiang behind him, at the same time, seeing the man with glasses reacting like this, Chen Xiaoyao was also shocked for a moment, until lightning flashed in his mind, until a conjecture appeared in his heart, and at the same time, Zhao Pingze, who had now retreated a few meters away, also completely changed his expression, stared at Chen Xiaoyao, and finally said a sentence to him in a rather strange tone:

"I think you should have a small gossip mirror on you, right?"

I wanted to speak and stopped, and I didn't say anything, because Zhao Ping didn't say the words later, Yao Fujiang, who had just been squeezed into the grass by the glasses man, didn't know that his right side was puzzled, but the flat-headed young man was puzzled and didn't mean that everyone didn't understand, as the person being asked, as the owner of the bronze mirror, Chen Xiaoyao instantly heard the meaning of the man's words, so he ......

Brush!

It was too late, it was fast, as soon as Zhao Ping's voice fell, the young Taoist priest followed closely and made a move, he, his face changed suddenly, his heart lifted, and his right hand reached into his arms at the fastest speed, and he took out the gossip bronze mirror that he had been carrying, and then, the bronze mirror was reversed, and the mirror was aimed at himself and his face......

Next......

Through the mirror reflection, he saw a scene:

Behind his neck, there is a face, a human face.

No, it should be a 'person', or maybe there is a 'person' with a face as white as paper at this moment, lying on his back!!

Because the face was too white, the 'person' on the back couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, but the hideous face like a white paper and a pair of deep eye sockets equivalent to a black hole were still completely reflected in the gossip mirror.

No wonder he will be tired, no wonder he will sweat like rain, it turns out that Chen Xiaoyao has carried a 'person' on his back all the way!

Groov!

Seeing this scene, in the next second, Chen Xiaoyao's whole face was extremely ugly in an instant, but it was ugly, but in reality, his reaction was a little unexpected.

With the help of the bronze mirror, after seeing the things behind him thoroughly, the young Taoist priest did not panic, did not panic, did not shout, and did not get up and run around like ordinary people, but did not move, just held the bronze mirror and continued to stay in place, his eyes turned slightly, stared at his shoulder and white face, and then ......

The left hand suddenly stretched down, reaching into the pocket of his coat at an astonishing speed that was too fast for the naked eye to capture, and in the next moment, a yellow talisman was pasted towards the white face that was close at hand!

And then ......

There was no more, the face was gone, and just when the Dao Fu was about to be pasted to the door of the 'person', in an instant, through the gossip mirror in his right hand, he found that the white-faced person who had been lying on his back disappeared and disappeared out of thin air.

It's strange to say, not to talk about how the white-faced person can quickly disappear into invisibility, when the other party disappeared, Chen Xiaoyao also felt something, and the heaviness that had been oppressing the body before dissipated, and the whole person suddenly felt lighter.

"Whew!"

With a long breath and silence for a few seconds, Chen Xiaoyao stood up, and saw that he didn't know when, he was no longer tired when he got up again, although he was not a hundred times more energetic, but he was not panting or sweating, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of heavy burden.

This scene was naturally seen by Zhao Yao and the others, the only difference was that the two could only see Chen Xiaoyao's series of actions, but they could only see the white-faced man who disappeared inexplicably.

Getting back to the point, seeing Chen Xiaoyao get up with a solemn expression, and seeing that the other party got rid of fatigue, he felt something, and vaguely realized that the crisis was over, Zhao Ping walked closer thoughtfully, looked up and down for a moment, and finally opened his mouth to ask: "Let's talk about it, I want to know if my guess just now is correct." ”

Smart people don't like nonsense a lot of the time, and they often go straight to the point in conversation, He Fei is like this, and Zhao Ping is the same, it's just ......

In the face of the glasses man's question, Chen Xiaoyao did not answer, but stood in place with his brows locked, he seemed to be thinking about something, as if he was analyzing something, seeing that the other party reacted strangely, Zhao Ping did not continue to ask, just waited patiently and silently.

If you look at it from a third perspective, you will see something like this:

In a rugged mountain road, mixed with rocks and trees, a young man in a yellow coat stood in place and bowed his head in contemplation, with a man with glasses standing beside him, and a flat-headed young man further behind, who was currently scratching his head and staring at the two in front of him with puzzled eyes.

Yes, because he couldn't see the white-faced person, Yao Fujiang had been in an inexplicable state, he didn't know what had just happened, and he didn't know what Zhao Ping meant, he wanted to ask, but seeing Chen Xiaoyao's contemplative appearance, he moved his lips, and the young man still swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Silence, one after the other, slowly maintained in the silence of all.

Until Chen Xiaoyao raised his head again, glanced at the two people on his side, and finally spit out two words from his mouth:

"Charm!"

Without hesitation, without hesitation, confirming the other party's answer, Zhao Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked again: "Explain." ”

Chen Xiaoyao nodded, walked to the side of the road, first swept the surroundings with a vigilant gaze, confirmed that there was no abnormality, and then returned to his previous relaxed expression, and then turned around and explained, which may be understood as introducing a new type of mantis to everyone, a terrible evil that the executor had never come into contact with.

"Ahem, after the mission on the Yin and Yang Road, I think we all know more about the lonely soul, the lonely soul is not very capable, and the consciousness is blurred, and it will only rely on the instinct of the mantis to actively attack the living people close to its perception range, as for this mantis ghost, uh, how to say it, the ability is basically the same as the lone soul, the only difference is that the mantis have a certain sanity, although it is not necessarily 100% as clear as humans, but at least it has learned how to use stratagems, as expected, the thing that just lay on my back is the mantis charm."

Xu is still scared of the matter, paused, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, Chen Xiaoyao unconsciously shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I personally do have the ability to deal with the ghost, I am really not afraid of the kind of thing with the strength of the lonely soul in the case of hard steel on the front, but unfortunately, it's a pity that I was still careless, I didn't expect that thing to lie on me unconsciously and quietly absorb the vitality, if it wasn't for Senior Zhao, you reminded me in time, I guess I would have let it lie on me for another half an hour...... At that point, even if I don't die, I won't even want to move a step. ”.

Many times fear does not necessarily have to be felt personally, but more often comes from fear, from the trembling recollection that emerges afterwards, saying so, the reality is indeed the case, sure enough, after listening to Chen Xiaoyao's explanation, Zhao Ping's back hair stood up! Similarly, through the explanation, Yao Fujiang, who completely understood what was going on just now, even shivered subconsciously, and his right hand involuntarily reached into his coat pocket, as if he would immediately take out something as soon as there was a stir.

"Hey, hey, Yao Fujiang, you don't have to be so nervous, now I have a Dao talisman in my hand, once there is danger to get close to this thing, it will spontaneously combust."

Seeing that the flat-headed young man was so nervous, Chen Xiaoyao comforted him and was about to continue speaking, but Zhao Ping frowned before him and asked, "How did the charm come about?" What are the specific capabilities? Even you, a Taoist priest, were tricked just now, I don't think that the threat of that thing called the scorpion charm is very small, and since you said that there was a scorpion charm lying on you earlier, why can't everyone see it? ”

Needless to say, unlike others, the man with glasses has a delicate mind, and after only a few seconds of contemplation, he found a lot of doubts from the explanation. What about the capabilities? More importantly......

Why can't the scorpion!?

Noticing the distrustful look in Zhao Ping's eyes, Chen Xiaoyao was not angry, nor did he dare to be angry, he just nodded and continued to explain: "Well, Senior Zhao, you are right, the threat level of the mantis to humans is indeed much higher than that of the lone soul, having said that, but the strength of the mantis is really the same as that of the lone soul, and there will never be a fake, the only difference is that the stalk is more sober and knows how to use its own ability to attack the living reasonably, oh, by the way, there is one more thing you need to know, in fact, all spirits are often invisible and invisible, For example, the vast majority of souls, the reason why the soul is invisible is because its ability is too weak and its own yin qi is extremely low, and the living are naturally unaware, but the lonely soul is different, because the yin energy dispersed by the lonely soul is far stronger than the soul, ordinary people can see it, pay attention, it is true that the lonely soul can see with the eyes, but the lonely soul can still be invisible as long as they are willing to be a spirit, the reason why most of the lonely souls are manifest, it is nothing more than the influence of confusion that causes them to not know how to use their abilities reasonably. ”

"As for the higher level of the stellar, or the stellar above the stellar......"

"Let's not say for the time being, most of the Li Ms are crazy and irrational, even if there are only conscious Li Ms occasionally, however, with the almost invincible strength of the Li M, is it still necessary to be invisible?"

"Then what do you mean ......"

After listening to Chen Xiaoyao's above explanation, with Zhao Ping's comprehension ability, he was silent for a moment, he seemed to understand, seemed to understand, and vaguely guessed something.

The man with glasses had an understanding, but Chen Xiaoyao, who had never finished his words and swore not to give up, did not give the other party a chance to guess, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he added again: "Yes, the soul is not capable of manifestation, the lonely soul does not know how to be invisible, and the extremely rare sober dragon is disdainful of invisibility, even so, then the mantis charm that is not strong in its own strength but has a clear consciousness has become the most threatening existence!" ”
