Chapter 101: Pursuing All the Way
"Can the predecessors know, why didn't she follow the path she had? Rather looking for another path? Xu Lang asked.
The female ghost shook her head: "This woman is different from ordinary people, she doesn't come for fun, she has a side purpose. ”
"Thank you seniors, juniors still have something to ask for." Xu Lang arched his hand towards the other party, "My brother is just an ordinary person, if he follows me, there will be a lot of inconvenience, can you ask the seniors to take care of one or two?" ”
Originally, it was a very unbelievable thing to ask a ghost to take care of people, but Xu Lang felt that this female ghost was different from other female ghosts with his experience.
To put it bluntly, this is a very qualified and well-educated ghost, different from those ghosts who show their teeth and claws as soon as they meet, and is somewhat similar to Shen Lanjie, who has no resentment.
"Yes." After the female ghost finished speaking, she became the same as before again, singing back and forth on the stage.
Finally, after glancing at Luo Han lying on the ground, and the faint ghost on the stage, Xu Lang plunged into the bushes.
"Senior Lingguan, I've been in the industry for so long, and it's the first time I've encountered such an elegant ghost." Xu Lang said in his heart while chopping the weeds along the way with a military shovel.
"That's because you don't know. There are many reasons why ghosts stay in the world, and most of them are because of resentment. But this female ghost is different, she stays here because she has an attachment to singing, a kind of love engraved in her soul. So she has no ill will towards humans. The spirit officer said.
……
"Whew...... Whew......"
Coming out of the bushes, Xu Lang was directly so tired that he sat down on the ground, and after resting for a while, he remembered to take out drinks and biscuits to replenish his strength.
Not to mention, at this moment, he suddenly had a little more admiration for Xia Ziqi in his heart, not to mention anything else, just say that the bushes are too difficult to walk, and he can almost bear it with a sharp weapon like a military shovel.
"But why did she go here? What clues related to her father were discovered? After Xu Lang rested, he looked around and saw a grave not far away.
He knew that in the supernatural circle, there was an unwritten rule that when he saw the grave, he not only had to fold his hands and bow down, but he could not take pictures, let alone get a wooden board and sign on it.
Therefore, the general grave is not very attractive to people who like to explore spirits.
That's why there's not a single road left in the area.
However, to Xu Lang's surprise, although there are many graves here, there is not much yin qi.
Despite this, Xu Lang still burned a stick of incense to each grave as an apology for accidentally entering this place and disturbing the tranquility.
"Squeak Squeak......"
A strange voice came, and Xu Lang raised his eyes and saw a little squirrel, standing on the grave, looking at him.
"Little squirrel?"
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, he noticed that the other party had a demonic aura that was different from ordinary animals, which was somewhat similar to the aura of Bai Man.
"Hello, are you a demon?" Xu Lang waved his hand at the other party, "During the day today, or yesterday, there was a woman who came here, do you know where she went?" ”
"Squeak, squeak......" The little squirrel didn't speak, just stared at Xu Lang / Yelled.
"A demon who can't speak? I knew that if I brought the ghost girl here, she could understand the animal's words. Xu Lang was helpless.
"Since we met, it's fate, you wait a minute, I'll find you something to eat." If it had been before, Xu Lang would not have wasted his time on wild animals, but Bai Man had saved him and made him feel that this little squirrel should also be spiritual.
"Melon seeds?"
Xu Lang found a bag of melon seeds from what Luo Hansai gave him, tore it open, and put it on the ground: "Xiao Budian, this is for you." ”
"Squeak Squeak......"
The little squirrel looked very excited, grabbed the melon seeds and stuffed them into his mouth, stuffed his mouth bulging, and then swished and disappeared into the bushes.
Xu Lang smiled and was about to continue looking for Xia Ziqi, but before he walked a few meters, the little squirrel appeared again.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"
This time, the little squirrel jumped to the other side of Xu Lang's original direction, and looked back at Xu Lang from time to time.
"There's a play!"
Xu Lang was overjoyed and immediately followed.
Sure enough, after walking for about ten minutes, there was an endless flat field. It is very different from before, with sparse vegetation and more like the Gobi Desert.
"Thank you, little one."
Xu Lang just wanted to give the little squirrel some cookies, but he couldn't find its shadow anymore.
"Everything in the world has its own territory, and in front of me, there used to be a strong man with good strength, although he has left, his prestige is still there, so the little squirrel doesn't dare to come in." The spirit officer explained.
"This place is a bit evil, the strong light on the helmet can't even shine on the edge, how can there be such a big clearing in this mountain?"
Xu Lang looked around, and just as he turned his head, a black shadow flashed in the distance!
"Who!"
Xu Lang clenched the military shovel in his hand and looked over quickly.
In the clearing stood a bamboo pole with a scarecrow tied to it with hemp rope.
The scarecrow's eyes were bent and the corners of his mouth were upturned, and he looked very strange under the bright light.
Before Xu Lang had time to take a closer look, in the blink of an eye, the scarecrow disappeared out of thin air!
Then, he appeared in another direction, closer to him!
Xu Lang didn't say a word, immediately lit three sticks of incense, inserted them on the ground, and observed the soil by the way, the soil is thick and has been pressed for a long time.
He suddenly realized: "This should be the square where the millet is dried, and this scarecrow is what the villagers put here to scare the birds and prevent them from stealing the millet to eat." ”
"The seniors have worked hard, the juniors Xu Lang, on behalf of the villagers, thank you for your protection of the Sun-dried Millet Square over the years." Xu Lang folded his hands and saluted respectfully in the direction of the scarecrow.
A gust of wind blew, and the three incense sticks burned in an instant, and the scarecrow was only in place, not any closer.
"Senpai, that, I have a friend who has been here, do you know where she went?" Xu Lang saw that the other party accepted the gift, and quickly asked.
The scenery in front of him changed, and the appearance was still the same, but the area was not as big as before.
In front of Xu Lang, a road suddenly appeared, and there was a light on the road that I don't know where, but it was endless darkness on both sides of the road.
The breath of the scarecrow is completely gone, and there is no trace to be found.
"This scarecrow, is that strong?" Xu Lang asked as he walked.
"Naturally not. The strong man has long since left, this scarecrow, because he has been here all the year round, has been affected by some influences, strictly speaking, it is not even a ghost. However, the three sticks of incense you have just made it free and no longer trapped here. The spirit officer said.
……
Life is strange, you think that the road you see is the way out, but in fact, it is a mystery road, a mystery road.
After Xu Lang walked into this road, he found that the scenery behind him had disappeared, leaving only endless darkness, and the strong lights could not play a role.
After wandering around in it for a long time, although he couldn't find his way out, Xu Lang didn't find it without discovery, the aura here was very similar to the maze he encountered at the foot of the mountain that he rescued Xia Ziqi the day. There is no way out, no end in sight.
How did Xia Ziqi crack it at that time? She drew a pattern on the ground and stepped on it. Xu Lang struggled to recall the scene.
He wanted to consult with the spirit officer, but this time the spirit officer did not show up.
?? Xu Lang couldn't, so he could only rely on himself, learn from Xia Ziqi's example, scribble on the ground, and try to solve this mystery.
"Is there something missing from the pattern?"
Xu Lang is very confident in his memory, this is the pattern that Xia Ziqi drew at the beginning, although he doesn't know what the content is, but the appearance must be right.
However, this was his third attempt, and he still failed.
"That's right."
The spirit official, who had been silent, came out with a word, and then, let Xu Lang "hook up" with the horror value, he didn't say anything anymore.
Xu Lang pondered for a long time, it was impossible for the spirit official to talk too much just now, that is to say, the painting was right, so what was wrong?
"Is it because Xia Ziqi is doing it in one go, and the speed is extremely fast, but I am slow." Xu Lang had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.
Whew......
This time, Xu Lang sped up, because he was not skilled, which led to some differences between the patterns drawn and Xia Ziqi's, just like writing regular script into a line book.
"It's all drawn anyway, so let's try it." Xu Lang stepped on the pattern with one foot.
In an instant, the endless darkness faded, and the surrounding area returned to its original appearance of the barnyard.
Seeing that everything was back to square one, Xu Lang didn't feel a little depressed. This way, he seems to have been guided here, but countless methods have been used, but there is still no trace of people, and I don't know how long it will take to consume it like this. However, he thought of a more convenient way - shouting directly, just like saving Xia Ziqi last time, sometimes it may not be a good way to startle the snake.
"Xia Ziqi! Xia Ziqi! Xia Ziqi ......"
Xu Lang shouted loudly to the sky, and after shouting twice, he also learned to be shrewd, took out his mobile phone to record, and then played it on a loop.
"It's noisy." The spirit officer expressed his displeasure.
"So what can I do? With your ability, if you had helped me in the first place, you would have found someone by now...... Now I'm left to think for myself. Xu Lang also had anger in his heart.
"Ink on the ground...... 1000 horror points, I'll give you a solution. The spirit officer said.
"Deal, let's talk." Xu Lang didn't think too much about it at all, and directly agreed, the horror value can be earned again, but if the person is gone, it will be gone.
"If you burn three sticks of incense in the same place, you can attract a lot of spirits. The strength of these spirits is not strong, but they usually live here, and they should know Xia Ziqi's whereabouts. That's all I can do for you. After the spirit officer finished speaking, he said no more.
The corners of Xu Lang's mouth twitched, he still thought that the other party would tell him Xia Ziqi's exact location like Qingfeng Ling did last time.
"That's how 1000 dread points are exchanged...... Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you. ”
Xu Lang immediately burned incense and burned dark coins, and soon, he saw some wandering spirits being attracted over. But they are not strong and bold, they just wander around, not daring to approach.
"I know you're all hungry, come here and refuel."
Xu Lang took the initiative to take two steps back and make way for a safe distance: "Don't worry, I have a good relationship with many ghosts, and I won't hurt you." ”
These ghosts were also really hungry and panicked, and one by one they surrounded the incense and inhaled violently.
Xu Lang waited for a while and asked, "I have a female friend with a medium build and wheat-colored skin. Maybe she's been here in the past two days, do you know where she is? ”
The ghosts paused, looked at Xu Lang, and looked at each other again.
A shirtless "crop man" floated in front of Xu Lang: "Walking all the way ahead, there is a row of pigsties, and there is a girl in it, maybe the person you are looking for." ”
"Thank you." Xu Lang arched his hand towards a group of ghosts, took the military shovel, ran wildly all the way, and finally saw the pigsty.
