Chapter 17: Tracking the Ghost Sedan Chair
Night fell as promised.
They followed Liu Huiniang for a long time, and there was no abnormality.
Although Hui Niang was shrunk in her heart, she gritted her teeth and continued to walk forward, seeing that she was about to reach the bridge out of the town, when suddenly a strange thick fog appeared around her.
A gust of wind blew, and the fog gradually dispersed.
Gao Lan's heart tightened: they are here.
She and Bai Qingqing glanced at each other, and each covered their mouths and noses with the damp cloth they had prepared in advance.
Suddenly, a subtle and ethereal creaking sound sounded in the distance, and the sound became more and more eerie in the silence of the night, which made people feel a chill down their spines when they heard it.
After all, it was the first time Gao Lan had experienced this kind of thing, and his heart was instantly suspended high, popping and beating, and his fists were clenched so tightly that he trembled slightly due to nervousness......
Bai Qingqing next to her seemed to sense her nervousness, and quietly patted the back of her hand a few times, signaling her to relax.
Gao Lan understood, took a deep breath, and nodded to him.
As the voice gradually approached, as Chaochao said, a sedan chair appeared in the air.
The sedan chair is as black as a coffin, and the four corners are carried by four black-clothed men with white masks, accompanied by the ethereal smoke around it, presenting an extremely ghostly picture.
Then I saw them carrying a sedan chair and falling into the thick fog.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Huiniang was taken into a sedan chair by them.
High blue, white lightness follows closely.
Fortunately, they have all done their light work and have not been discovered.
followed the sedan chair into a forest in the suburbs, and the four of them ran on the ground.
The pace is uniform and neat, and at first glance they are all professionally trained people.
The two of them followed to a very desolate mass grave in the suburbs, the black round adobe that was high above the ground seemed to be surrounded by a faint fire, and the black branches above occasionally skipped the big bird with strong wings, making a terrifying hoarse hissing sound, and the ghostly aura suddenly hit Gao Lan's body.
If it weren't for a real man by her side, Gao Lan would have screamed in fright, and she tried to keep herself calm: no ghosts, no ghosts, no ghosts...... There have been no ghosts in this world since ancient times......
"What are you doing?" Bai Qingqing leaned over in surprise and grabbed her shaking body.
Gao Lan came back to his senses and realized that he was shaking his head and shaking his head as if he was in the middle of an evil just now, "I ......"
"Are you scared?" A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Qingqing's mouth, and then he said solemnly, "Don't be afraid, I have a brother, the little white snake in my hand is an evil and a ghost." ”
Gao Lan hurriedly diverted his attention from being afraid: "Your sword is called Little White Snake?" ”
Bai Qingqing glanced at the sword in his hand and nodded: "Didn't you see that its whole body is white and slender like a white snake?" Well, sometimes I call it the White Lady too......"
“……”
The moment he said the White Lady, a modern match for a single dog suddenly flashed in Gao Lan's head: Five girls......
Gao Lan sneered, Bai Qingqing always has the ability to make people relax no matter what the situation, seeing him smile happily, listening to him is the same......
Gao Lan returned to the topic and said, "Where did they go? You won't be hiding in a tomb, will you? ”
"Probably not, I've looked around this tomb, and there is nothing abnormal, and such a big sedan chair can't fit into this small tomb, let's take a look at the back." After speaking, Gao Lan walked after him.
After a while, I came out of the grave circle and looked from afar, and faintly saw a hut, which seemed to have a square black outline next to it......
Gao Lan lost his voice: "It's the ghost sedan chair." ”
The two of them cautiously approached the hut until they were sure that there was no one there.
Gao Lan checked the sedan chair inside and out, but found nothing.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Bai Qingqing visiting the hut. So they also walked towards him.
It was pitch black inside, but fortunately the clouds above their heads drifted away, and the bright moonlight shone in, and they only got a little idea of the situation inside, but it was empty, and there was no furnishings...... The two looked at each other.
Gao Lan said: "Why is it so strange? The four of them disappeared out of thin air with Hui Niang? ”
Bai Qingqing disagreed: "There should be a secret door here, it must be the entrance of some secret passage, and the secret passage is not big, and the sedan chair can't enter......
After he said this, Gao Lan immediately opened his mind, and hurriedly squatted down and got up to look around to find the hidden secret passage.
Bai Qingqing saw her serious look and was about to tease, suddenly felt a slight shaking under the soles of his feet, cautiously lowered his head, and moved his steps slightly, this time he really felt the soft bounce under the soles of his feet, he took a step back, slowly leaned down and squatted down, touching the place where he had just stood with his hand.
After a while, I heard him say, "I found ......"
Gao Lan heard the sound and came over, only to see Bai Qingqing fumbling for a while, and using his sword to pry open the plank covering the meadow, and the two of them opened their eyes wide.
The entrance of the dark cave was impressive, and a gust of wind blew, and the two of them instantly became a spirit.
"This is it," although it was pitch black, they didn't know the situation inside, and the two of them didn't dare to rush to the lamp, so they had to carefully grope their way down the stone steps. The hole was small, barely enough to allow two people to walk side by side, and they walked slowly one after the other.
Gao Lan touched the wall in the cave, feeling more and more wet, and after walking a few more steps, she suddenly felt a few drops of water fall on her face, she subconsciously looked up, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
Bai Qingqing in front felt that the person behind him was still, so he lowered his voice and turned back to ask: "Senior brother......"
Gao Lan was just about to return, but suddenly heard some slight noise: "Bai Gongzi, listen...... Is it the sound of water flowing? ”
Bai Qingqing listened attentively and nodded: "Yes, it seems to be coming from the top of the head." ”
Gao Lan guessed: "Are we in a passage under the water now?" ”
Bai Qingqing said: "Let's go forward and see." ”
So the two of them continued to touch the wet wall and walked slowly, until they saw a faint light, and then they carefully stopped.
Bai Qingqing said softly: "The front should be the exit." ”
Gao Lan sighed: "It's finally over, this hole is quite long." ”
By the faint light, the road ahead was much better, and they soon came to the entrance of the cave, but they were blocked by a sturdy iron gate, and a large black iron lock was locked on it.
Gao Lan tried to look out of the railing, but he could only see the corners of the guards walking back and forth outside, and nothing else was visible.
Just as she was about to withdraw her head, suddenly she sniffed a few more times with her nose: "What a fragrant smell......"
Bai Qingqing next to him was looking at the big iron lock at a loss, he should be thinking about whether he should have smashed it or pried it......
Gao Lan hurriedly stopped him: "Forget it, let's go back first, this will startle the snake, I remember that the little civet cat will pick the lock." ”
Bai Qingqing then let go of the tightly knit brows: "It's okay." ”
Since they knew that there was nothing unusual in the cave, the two of them took the torches, and then they realized that the road inside was actually very easy to walk, but it was complicated in the dark, and soon, the two returned to the cave along the road.
