Section 329: Thugs
"Okay, I can't feel his soul power anymore here, and the ghost in his body can only sense our general location, but can't sense our specific location, so where are we going next?" After opening a certain distance from Liangyuan, Pu Zitong finally couldn't help but ask.
"Gu Lou, didn't you say yes just now?" Zhang Su replied with a smile.
"Ancient Building? Didn't you say that when you used to confuse a man named Good Fate? Do you really want to go there? Pu Zitong seemed puzzled.
"Yes, but it's not, the ancient building is a famous tourist attraction in the ancient city of Shangfancheng, my first stop is in the ancient building, is to let the good fate think that we are really here to travel, this is right, but according to the news of the last period of time, there have been three jumping incidents in the ancient building, so there is a high probability that there are ghosts, which is also true, based on these two points, I chose the first stop in the ancient city, so that we can not only confuse the good fate, but also not waste our time investigating clues, the best of both worlds." Zhang Su smiled again and replied.
"Well, let's go there first, I don't know if it's really as you said, there will be ghosts and ghosts there for a long time." After Zhang Su answered, Pu Zitong nodded and said.
"I'm not sure, I'm here to investigate." Zhang Su shook his head in response.
Since the determined goal has not changed, Pu Zitong began to move due west with Zhang Su, because the ancient building scenic spot is in the westernmost part of the jurisdiction of the ancient city, and there is still a long distance from the place where Zhang Su and Pu Zitong got off, Zhang Su didn't walk a few steps, so he decided to take a taxi to go, in order to save more time to investigate the traces of ghosts and ghosts near the ancient city.
Sitting in a blue-gray taxi, driving on the wide asphalt road, looking out of the window, the scenery of the ancient city of Shangfancheng flashes in front of you like a thousand flowers in the mirror tube, the shops on both sides are mostly blue bricks and ancient tiles, and the sidewalks are sparsely populated.
Although it is called the ancient city, it does not mean that everything here is antique, the commercial buildings and high-rise residences, some exquisitely dressed shops mixed with blue bricks and ancient tiles, and handsome men and women dressed very modernly, all show that the ancient city is not really ancient, but deliberately maintains a unique style that has been inherited, and uses that style as a signboard to attract tourists from all over the world.
"Master, is it still far from that ancient building now?" After the taxi drove for more than ten minutes, Zhang Su saw that the buildings around him were becoming more and more full of real antique atmosphere, and he couldn't help but ask.
"It's coming soon, after this traffic light, just turn around the alley in front." The driver was a middle-aged uncle who seemed to be very mature and steady, and when he heard Zhang Su's inquiry, he pointed to the intersection in front and replied.
"Master, then we'll get off at the intersection in front, you don't have to go inside, let's walk through the alley." Hearing the driver's answer, Zhang Su pondered for a moment and asked.
"Okay, it's a one-way street, and it's not easy for me to get in, so let's put you at that intersection." Zhang Su's request obviously met the driver's wishes, and the driver quickly agreed without saying a word, as if he was still afraid that Zhang Su would regret it.
After the traffic light, the car drove forward for dozens of meters, and stopped steadily at the entrance of a slightly narrow alley, after Zhang Su paid the fare, the driver casually picked up an oil-paper map of Shangfancheng from his seat and handed it to Zhang Su, saying that it was a local welfare to promote tourism, and it was given to foreign tourists who came to Shangfancheng for free, and he saw that Zhang Su and Pu Zitong were not like the locals in Shangfancheng in terms of voice and image and temperament, so he gave Zhang Su a copy.
Zhang Su thanked the driver briefly, and then unceremoniously took the map into his hand, and after the car drove away, he really opened the map and looked at it carefully, as if looking for his location on the map.
"That's right, we're here, go into this street and alley, and you'll see that ancient building right away." Zhang Su read the map in his hand, and pointed to a location near the ancient building mark with his fingertips, and confirmed.
"In recent years, mobile phone GPS navigation has been so convenient, you still look at this kind of map?" Pu Zitong saw Zhang Su using a paper map to find his way, and said to Zhang Su with some mockery.
"Each has its own benefits, the map in the mobile phone is indeed convenient and fast, but it will make people feel that the distance is not so accurate, and the tourist map in this small area is not the same, meticulous and accurate, the flower bed wall above is very accurately marked, and the actual distance ratio can also be identified at a glance, just like we look at the ancient building from here, it seems to be close in front of us, but in fact there is an inclined ramp between them, the actual distance is not close, and it is about 200 meters to go." Zhang Su didn't care about Pu Zitong's ridicule, and explained simply.
"How far is it? Then why don't you let the driver take us directly to the gate of the ancient building, and get out of the car in advance to walk that distance? Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"Because I want to start investigating whether there are traces of the existence of ghosts from here, if there are really ghosts entrenched in that ancient building, we can hide our soul power in advance to avoid the situation of scaring the snakes." Zhang Su replied.
Pu Zitong understood what Zhang Su meant, and also felt that Zhang Su's judgment was correct, so he didn't say anything more, walked side by side with Zhang Su, and began to walk deeper into the location of the ancient building from the entrance of the street and alley, while strolling and walking, while investigating the soul marks around him.
The walls on both sides of the street and alley are white and gray eaves, there are carved doors and windows that penetrate through the wall at every interval of a distance, the door is made of stone, it is plum blossom-shaped, the flower window is round and square, the iron fence inlaid with white paint and whitewashed, the pattern of the fence is like a peony or hibiscus, and the whole looks quite an elegant charm of the southview garden.
But looking into the wall through the doors and windows, Zhang Su found that every opening place of the white wall is the entrance of a street shop, there are those who sell Zhu Yu treasures, some sell antique calligraphy and paintings, some sell scenic souvenirs, and more, they are shops of different sizes of catering and delicacies, and the larger ones have restaurants and business hotels, occupying a large area; A little smaller, most of them are small cubicle door rooms, each room is only a few square meters, more than ten square meters, but there are all kinds of "signature food", the oil stain aroma that exudes makes people can't help but have some appetite, but people no longer have the feeling of "ancient" in the ancient building scenic spot.
"Wow, so delicious, so fragrant!" Zhang Su didn't have much interest in these scenic spots, and her mind was all on searching for traces of ghosts, but Pu Zitong was different, although she came with Zhang Su to help Zhang Su find and deal with the ghost of the rollover, but in fact it was just an excuse for her, the real purpose of her coming out was just to hone herself in practice, so that her strength could be stabilized at the first level of the primary soul ancestor, so she was absent-minded about searching for clues about ghosts, and now she saw different kinds of food, and she shouted happily.
"Hey, we're here to look for clues, not for sightseeing, so be restrained." Seeing that Pu Zitong's eyes were wide, and his legs couldn't take a step, Zhang Su hurriedly reminded him.
"Yes, but how can I find clues if I don't have the strength? I didn't even eat in the morning to get to the bus station on time. Pu Zitong turned his body to Zhang Su and said with a look of grievance.
"It's all soul masters, there's nothing wrong with eating one less meal, and I don't ...... in the morning" Zhang Ji felt that Pu Zitong was a little hypocritical, and opened his mouth to refute.
However, before Zhang Su finished speaking, Pu Zitong turned back angrily, turned his back to Zhang Su, shrugged his shoulders as if he was angry, and strode forward.
"Well, actually, I haven't eaten in the morning, and I'm a little hungry, why don't you go eat with me? Although there is nothing wrong with the soul master eating one less meal, it is necessary to maintain enough physical fitness before going to find the ghost. Zhang Su knew that Pu Zitong was angry, so he hurriedly caught up with him, followed closely behind Pu Zitong, and looked for a way to make amends.
Hearing Zhang Su say this, Pu Zitong stopped again, pinched his waist to face Zhang Su, and snorted coldly: "It's almost the same, I'm going to eat with you." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, accompany me, auntie, you have a lot of adults, give up your face to eat with the small, can you have the strength to work later?" Seeing that Pu Zitong gave him a step, Zhang Su hurriedly put on a slave appearance and said with a smile.
"Well, it's pretty much the same, grandma I think you might like to eat that fried skewers, stinky tofu and sausage stew, do you think you like it or not?" Seeing that Zhang Su deliberately posed as a servant, Pu Zitong directly imagined that the queen was coming, and asked Zhang Su with a joke.
"The villain likes it." Zhang Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also joked with Pu Zitong.
"Bastard Zhang Su, you're just a villain, don't you scold me in a different way? Forget it, let's go eat those three, it should be very convenient, and you can walk towards the ancient building while eating. Pu Zitong seemed to hear the ridicule in Zhang Su's words, pouted and scolded, and then pointed to a plum blossom door open on the wall, and pointed to the three take-out restaurants inside, suggesting.
"Haha, okay, let's eat a little here, you can't stop working after eating." Zhang Su nodded, agreed with Pu Zitong's suggestion, and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, as long as you have enough food, I will cover you in the future, and I will give priority to me when you encounter ghosts, you can hide behind me safely, you can tremble, you can also help me cheer and demonstrate, no problem, hahaha......" After Zhang Su spoke, Pu Zitong rubbed his hands, seemed to be a little excited, and laughed.
