After I heard Xia Tian's words, I was first overjoyed.

Then he asked a little puzzled: "How do you know that Wu Mancang has been here?" ”

Xia Tian said: "I can feel the breath of the yin puppet. Last night, a spirit came here, and he had the aura of a puppet on his body. ”

"This person should be Wu Mancang."

I nodded, "If it's him, that's the best." Looks like he's been around a lot, and maybe he'll come back tonight. When the time comes, we can follow the vine and find out about the Fog Hell Mountain through him. ”

Xia Tian nodded.

At this time, there was still some time before dark, and the two of us sat on the steps outside the small temple to bask in the sun.

I smiled at Xia Tian: "I'm a little guilty that you skipped school." ”

Xia Tian looked at the red sun in the west, smiled and said, "It's okay, I have good grades anyway." ”

This is the self-confidence that only a top student has.

She glanced back at me, "It is said that you often miss school. ”

I hummed, "It's okay with me, I'm smarter." ”

Xia Tian rolled her eyes: "You are really not modest at all. ”

She leaned against the doorframe, her eyes squinted in the sun, and her expression was like that of a cat.

Suddenly, she said with emotion: "It would be nice if life was forever fixed at this moment." It's so quiet, it's so comfortable. ”

I snorted, "Who's to say it's not." ”

I also hope to be like this forever, sitting at the door and basking in the sun, without thinking about anything, without experiencing life and death, without facing ghosts.

However, no.

There are some things that I don't want to do, but I have to do them.

Maybe that's the responsibility.

The two of us sat quietly like this, and after an hour and a half, the sun finally set completely.

Dusk has arrived.

We had something to eat while it was still dark. Then I lit a candle in the small temple and waited quietly.

Wu Qing has been lying in the temple and sleeping soundly since she was knocked out by me.

If it weren't for the fact that she sometimes said two words in her sleep, I wouldn't even have wondered if she had been beaten up.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wu Mancang never appeared.

Xia Tian suddenly asked me a little nervously: "You say, will Wu Mancang be hostile to us?" ”

I looked at Wu Qing: "It shouldn't be, right?" But it doesn't matter. ”

Xia Tian asked me, "Then should we prepare?" ”

I handed her a few thunder talismans: "It's okay to have the thunder talisman in your hand." Otherwise, you don't have to......"

"Wu Mancang had already been here once last night, but nothing strange had happened around. It can be seen that he is not fierce. Even if he is hostile to us, he will not be able to raise a storm. ”

"This person was an ordinary person before he died, and he couldn't become a difficult ghost after he died, right? We have killed two of the Yin Golems, and Wu Mancang should be easier to deal with than the Yin Golems. ”

Xia Tian thought about it and felt that my analysis made sense, so she felt much more at ease.

However, the two of us did not take it lightly, and the thunder runes were well prepared.

Suddenly, I felt a gaze fall on me, making my whole body uncomfortable.

I looked at Xia Tian, who was also looking at me with a panicked expression.

She whispered, "I always felt like someone was watching us." ”

I nodded and turned my head to look at Wu Qing.

Wu Qing was still lying on the ground, asleep.

The person who looks at us, it can't be her.

Not her...... Could it be that a fourth person has arrived?

I sensed my surroundings, but I didn't feel the breath of a soul.

I took out my compass again and measured it, and there was no change in my surroundings.

This is the evil door, the creepy feeling of being targeted, has never left my body.

Where the hell is it?

At this time, Xia Tian stammered, "Come on...... Here it comes. The breath of a puppet. ”

I immediately became vigilant: "The puppet himself is here?" ”

Xia Tian shook his head: "It should be a soul that has been contaminated with the breath of a yin puppet." I can only perceive the puppet, not the soul. ”

I asked Xia Tian, "In what direction is it?" ”

Xia Tian shook his head: "That breath is too weak, I can't be sure of the direction." Anyway, it's nearby, it should be in the small temple. ”

I nervously looked around, almost inch by inch, but found nothing.

I even checked Wu Qing, and she wasn't topped.

This is the evil door, where did it go?

During the day, I had imagined countless meetings with Wu Mancang, and even figured out how to negotiate with him.

But I never expected this to be the case, the other party came, but I couldn't find any trace of him.

I hesitated for a moment, and threw all the artifacts on the ground.

Candles, compasses, needles, talismans, mahogany......

Xia Tian looked at me with some surprise: "What are you doing?" ”

I closed my eyes and sat down, and said to her, "I'm going to sense Wu Mancang's position." These ritual weapons are worn on my body and affect my feelings. ”

"After a while, if you notice that something is wrong with me, you will slap the thunder charm on me."

Xia Tian responded nervously, but didn't ask me why.

She knew that time was tight and she didn't have time to ask more, so she didn't delay me.

I closed my eyes and let go of my mind.

This kind of behavior is actually very dangerous, let all your mind perceive a ghost. This is the equivalent of opening the door and saying to the robbers, "Come, come to my house and rob things, for I have a lot of gold and silver treasures."

Now that I'm here, it's easy to get caught up in ghosts.

This is also the reason why I told Xia Tian, if I am caught by a ghost, I must be woken up immediately, otherwise, I am very likely to be controlled, and then do something that I can't regret.

After a few seconds of relaxation, my mind cleared. Then, I felt everything in the temple.

I felt Xia Tian beside me, her eight characters were very weak, and she was easy to attract ghosts.

I also sensed Wu Qing, she had taken too many hallucinogenic mushrooms, and the evil qi in her body was rampant. She looks alive, but her meridians have been almost damaged, and she doesn't know how long she will live.

I also sensed ...... Well?

I found the gaze, right on my right.

I snapped my eyes open and looked to the right.

The right side was empty, not a single person, not a single ghost.

But...... There was an idol of a god, a god standing on a clay platform.

I jumped up from the ground and walked quickly over to the statue to inspect it.

There is nothing wrong with the statue of the deity, it is indeed a clay sculpture. In this clay fetus idol, there is no soul.

But...... The eyes of the idol are wrong.

Its eyes were so lifelike that they didn't fit in with the whole statue.

It was these eyes that were looking at me just now.

But then, I found that its gaze was not looking at me, but at Wu Qing.

This gaze is full of reluctance and sadness......

Then, it withdrew its gaze.

The idol's eyes gradually dimmed, and finally lost their luster and turned into ordinary eyes again.

Xia Tian walked over slowly and whispered, "The breath of the yin puppet has disappeared." ”

I hummed: "Wu Mancang is gone." ”

Xia Tian saw that I had been staring at the statue and asked me, "Was he hiding in the statue just now?" ”

I mumbled, "Sort of." ”

Xia Tian wondered, "Why don't you keep him?" ”

I smiled bitterly and jumped down from the mud platform: "I can't keep it, it wasn't Wu Mancang's soul just now, it's just two eyes coming." ”

"I guess it should have been the eyes that came last night, and his body didn't come."

Xia Tian said: "Is his body unable to come?" ”

I sighed, "Maybe." ”

Wu Mancang, like the Yin Golem, both appeared in the Fog Hell Mountain.

Perhaps, like the situation of the puppet, he can only come to the world on certain days.

When the yin puppet can't appear, it is through the Jade Buddha that it affects people's sanity. And Wu Mancang secretly sent a few rays of gaze.

Of course, this is all our speculation, and it's hard to say whether that's the case or not.

Xia Tian asked a little disappointed: "Then what should we do now?" Do you have to wait until the third day of the next month? ”

I smiled: "No, I can't wait." Since Wu Mancang refuses to come, then I'll go over and find him. ”

Xia Tian looked at me in surprise: "What are you going to do?" Can you go straight to Foggy Hell Mountain? ”
