Xu Lang's recent leisure activities are very full and fulfilling.

In addition to finding Qin Xiaolu to learn fitness, there is another learning task in the past few days - learning management from Hong Gang.

The days of studying hard can be regarded as leisurely, but there is no task, he is not routined by the system, and he always feels that something is missing.

Time flew by, and at about six o'clock in the evening, the courier brother delivered a cart of beer, almost all kinds of brands.

This was what Xu Lang instructed Hong Gang to buy, mainly to satisfy Yin/Door Stone's alcohol addiction.

"Recently, I've been so busy with fitness and study that I've almost forgotten that I still have half a stone here." Xu Lang saw these three rounds of beer and felt emotional.

It just so happens that he can take advantage of this time to send beer and communicate with Yin/Door Stone, he has drunk him for so long in vain, he should always have something in return.

"System, track the location of the Yin/Doorstone."

As soon as the words fell, a real-time picture appeared in Xu Lang's mind.

The sun is setting in the west, and the houses are dilapidated.

The Yin/Door Stone is on the ground, lying on its stomach like a turtle, next to it is a crooked-necked tree that is nearly two meters high.

"It's true that this is a folk village, but what's the matter with this tree? I don't think there is such a tree in the folk village. Moreover, the foliage is so dense that it looks out of place in the dilapidated folk village. ”

Xu Lang thought about it and decided to ask Huang Xinxin: "Xinxin, come here." ”

After the system upgrade of the Styx Journey, the two Yin Soldier Sculptures are basically in charge, and Huang Xinxin is in charge of the logistics of the park, and she is in charge of all the big and small things.

"Boss, what are you looking for Shin Shin for? Are you tired, Shin Shin will help you massage. "Huang Xinxin's strength has improved a lot, but her personality is still the same, and she hasn't changed at all.

Xu Lang ignored her teasing, and used real-time sharing to make her also look at the situation in the folk village, and asked, "What's going on with this tree?" How come I don't remember having it before? ”

"Boss, you forgot, this is the branch you brought back from Nantang Forest Farm, and there is the remnant soul of the hanged ghost in it." Huang Xinxin explained, "After you bring it back, you don't care. We couldn't communicate with it, so we found a random place for it. ”

was mentioned by Huang Xinxin, Xu Lang remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

"Then it's growing too fast, isn't it?" Xu Lang felt strange, he remembered that the crooked neck tree he saw in the Nantang Forest Farm was not like this.

"Although it grows a little fast, it is also expected that the environment of our paradise is very beneficial to ghosts, and I think it has also benefited. However, after the great battle with us, the hanged ghost has suffered too much attrition, and it will take a long time to return to its previous level. ”

Huang Xinxin paused and continued, "Boss, don't you like it to be planted in this position?" Or I asked Hong Gang to pull him out and change places? ”

"Since it's already planted there, let's keep it, it looks pretty good, maybe it will be useful in the future." Xu Lang knew that this hanged ghost was related to Chen Zhongwei before, but it was all in the past, and there was no need to pursue it.

……

Xu Lang came to the folk village with a box of beer, and easily found the Yin/Door Stone under the crooked neck tree: "Little Stone, I brought you beer, you hurry up and try it, this is the goods that have just arrived." ”

Yin/Doorstone didn't react, but the crooked neck tree next to it gradually shrank back and became the size of a potted plant, and even the leaves withered a little.

"Don't be afraid, hanged man, I'm not here to deal with you." Xu Lang felt that he had scared the other party, so he casually comforted him.

The crooked-necked branches and leaves swayed, but they didn't change back.

And the yin/door stone also did not react.

Xu Lang was helpless, so he simply opened a bottle of beer and poured it on its body.

Sure enough, not a drop of the wine was spilled, and all of it was absorbed by the Yin/Door Stone.

At this moment, the system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly sent a task.

"Congratulations to the player for the new mission."

"Mission Name: The Other Half."

"Difficulty: Unknown."

"Special note: In order to help players complete the mission more smoothly, the system will give players a gift."

"Mission Reward: Unknown."

When Xu Lang saw this task, he couldn't help but laugh.

I finally saw a task with a lot of words, full of intimacy.

In his opinion, the "other half", combined with his current situation, must refer to the other half of the Yin/Door Stone.

However, he suddenly remembered one more thing, Xia Ziqi said that the range of activity of this kind of elf is relatively fixed, but there are also hundreds of miles.

"It's so big in a hundred miles, where can I find my other half?" Thinking of this, Xu Lang was a little depressed.

Boom......

While Xu Lang was meditating, Yin/Menshi had already opened another bottle of beer by himself and drank it.

"Alas...... You conscienceless thing, you eat and drink here by yourself, and the other piece doesn't know where to suffer. Xu Lang also had a flash of inspiration, remembering the other half of the stone that still had no clues, and deliberately stimulated it.

"Poof......

As soon as the words fell, Yin/Door Stone spewed out a large amount of beer, most of which fell to the ground, but some of them landed on Xu Lang's face.

Xu Lang wiped the beer off his face and was about to get angry, but Yin/Menshi didn't know where to "roll": "It's really slippery...... I- Huh? ”

Xu Lang was a little surprised to see two words appear on the ground, and these two words were actually formed by beer falling on the ground.

"Ghost City?"

"Could this be a hint from the Yin/Doorstone? Let me go to the ghost market to find the other half of the stone? But where is the ghost market? ”

Xu Lang thought of this, he immediately sent a WeChat message to ask Xia Ziqi, after all, her father is a professor of folklore, and a place like a ghost market should obviously be within the scope of folklore research.

"Ghost market? Are you going to arrest Han Liyan? I'll go over and join you right away! As soon as Xia Ziqi saw the words "ghost market", she was a little excited when she sent it.

"No, I want to add some horror scenes here, I heard that there is a ghost in the East China Sea, but I'm not sure where it is, so I just ask you." Xu Lang was very helpless, "The matter of finding someone will be handed over to the police. Just check it, I'm just a horror theme park, and I'm not a ghost catcher. ”

"Okay...... Wait, I'll find you. ”

Xia Ziqi was obviously a little disappointed, but soon, she still sent a lot of information about the ghost market.

Xu Lang took a look and had a general understanding of the ghost market in his heart.

The ghost market is actually an area where ghosts and ghosts often gather, a bit like a human market, of course, not only ghosts can go, demons, ghosts, elves, goddesses, Taoist priests, etc., can also enter.

According to Xia Zhengliang's information, he once went to the ghost market for a walk by chance, and when he came back, it felt like a dream, and when he wanted to go again, he couldn't find a place.

"How is it a bit like 'Peach Blossom Spring'?" Xu Lang thought about it, and finally decided to ask the employees.

……

"I've called you here today mainly because of one thing. Has any of you ever been to a ghost market? Xu Lang asked. The employees looked at each other.

In the end, there are only two people who have really been there, namely Lu Xuefei and the ghost woman. As for the rest of the staff, they have only heard of it.

When Lu Xuefei heard Xu Lang ask about the ghost market, her cold face showed a little disgust: "What do you do in that kind of place?" There are a mixture of dragons and snakes inside, and their ghost products are extremely bad. ”

"The new mission involves a ghost market, and I need to check it out. Otherwise, Miss Lu will accompany me on a trip? Xu Lang said sincerely.

Since the last time Lu Xuefei selectively did not pursue the eyeballs, Xu Lang felt that his relationship with her had eased a lot, and it seemed that she would participate in a group activity like today, so Xu Lang's tone of conversation with her was also a lot more relaxed.

"No, no." Lu Xuefei refused without thinking about it.

Xu Lang didn't expect her to refuse so decisively.

Lu Xuefei seemed to feel that the two words were indeed missing, and said coldly: "More than ten years ago, I fought in the ghost market, and I guess they didn't welcome me. But I can tell you where the ghost market is, and if you bring your phone and need help, I'll consider it. ”

After she finished speaking, a gust of wind rose, and Lu Xuefei's ghost disappeared in an instant.

Xu Lang's heart was a little warm, but more of a surprise, worthy of Lu Xuefei, she was really arrogant, she actually fought in the ghost market, and in the end, she had nothing to do, and she still lived freely.

"That ghost woman, will you accompany me on a trip?" Although Lu Xuefei could help him on his mobile phone, Xu Lang still felt that it would be more convenient for a ghost to take him directly, and only the ghost woman was left present.

The ghost woman shook her head solemnly: "The old body has to open at night, and he has to participate in the special training arranged by the system, so he can't accompany the boss." ”

"Special training? When did it happen? How did I not know? "Xu Lang is very strange, there are still things in this paradise that he, the boss, doesn't know?

"Just now." The ghost woman replied.

Xu Lang sneered: "I understand, it's just that the system won't let you help me...... Alright, let's all disperse. ”

Huang Xinxin empathetically poured a glass of water for Xu Lang and massaged him, "Boss, don't be angry, drink a glass of water and calm down." ”

Xu Lang drank the water and was enjoying it, when suddenly, he thought that there was a gift mentioned in the mission.

How to forget this stubble.

"System, what is your gift to me?" Xu Lang was a little excited, and the depressed mood just now was gone.

In an instant, a picture appeared in his mind.

In the photo, it was actually Qin Xiaolu wearing gym clothes, his face did not change color, and he easily lifted dumbbells.

"Qin Xiaolu? She's a policeman, and you're asking me to take a policeman to a ghost market? Xu Lang was so angry that he wanted to scold the system, and sure enough, it started to cheat people again!

"System, tell me, what can Qin Xiaolu help me? She does know some fighting skills, but what can she do with the other party......

Before Xu Lang's words were finished, the page in his mind flashed, and the system disappeared, no matter how he scolded his mother, there was no response.

In the end, Xu Lang still resigned himself to calling Qin Xiaolu.

"Xu Lang, you really mean what you say! Enough friends! I'm free tonight, you come and pick me up! Qin Xiaolu received the call, not to mention how excited he was.

However, Xu Lang couldn't get excited, not long ago he fooled the other party, promising that if there were some different cases, he would definitely find her.

Unexpectedly, now he is really going to take her to "investigate the case".

Xu Lang was even a little suspicious, the system just knew about this matter and deliberately asked him to take Qin Xiaolu to investigate the case.

This broken system is really too cheating!
