When Lan said this, I couldn't help but be a little curious, so I asked her: "You said that there was a change in Yeling, and Qiao'er's lonely soul was affected, so why are you okay?" ”

"I'm different from them!" Lan just said that, but didn't know how to explain her current state. I also think it's strange, Lan gives me a completely different feeling from ghosts, ghosts are yin things, no matter how powerful they are, they can't completely hide the yin and evil energy on their bodies, Lan not only has that feeling of yin and evil, but has an ethereal and dusty temperament, more like an elf in this mountain, a fairy in the forest. If it weren't for the lack of clothing, I wouldn't have suspected that she was a ghost.

Lan's situation is not ordinary, the Taoist priest is well-informed, and when he finds him, he may be able to see some clues.

I don't know what the reason for the change in Yeling, but it is not difficult to see from Lan's account that this change is definitely ominous and terrifying. This has been confirmed by the appearance of ghost mandrills, vamphivorous vines, and monsters controlled by corpse golems, and at first I thought that these things were recruited by me, but now it seems that they are not, so could grandma's disappearance have something to do with the changes that have occurred in Yeling?

I asked Lan a few more questions, all about Yeling, but she didn't know much about it and couldn't answer me.

One person and one ghost waited in place for more than two hours, Sister Bailing and the Taoist priest still did not return, seeing that it was already evening, and it was going to be dark before long, I began to get anxious.

At this time, I had three choices, one was to turn back the way I came, go back the way I came, calculate the time, and if I didn't get lost, I could return to the village almost before it was completely dark, but in this case, I would completely leave the two of them alone.

The second is to look in the direction they chased out, this forest is extremely lush, there are no roads on the ground, it is full of thick thorn bushes, they break through these places, there will definitely be traces left, be careful, you can still find it. It's a risky choice, and if I follow the trails and don't find them, I'll be in a very passive situation once it's completely dark.

The third option is a compromise solution, go back to the place where you first found the baby, and rush to Yeling to find grandma. If Sister Bailing and they have turned back and not found me, the most likely place for them to go is Yeling, because our destination was Yeling before they found Miwa, and they may have speculated that I have gone to Yeling.

Of course, it is also possible that they are in danger, trapped or otherwise unable to return to me, but if this is the case, even if I follow the second option to find them, even if I find them, it is already good that I am able not to cause trouble for them, and as for help, it is not even better.

If that's the case, then it's all the more necessary for me to go to Yeling first, find my grandmother and then go to them, with my grandmother's ability, what kind of danger can't be solved?

It's just an ideal assumption, no one knows what it will look like, but that's all I can do for now.

I greeted Lan, I asked her if it would affect her if she had been appearing in such a human form, she shook her head and said no, it just so happened that I was panicked in this barren mountain and wilderness, so let her always exist like this, so that I can feel some comfort in my heart, at least I am not alone.

Back on the deserted path, Lan and I talked as we hurried towards Yeling. Lan has not talked to anyone for more than 100 years after his death, and has been wandering alone in this mountain forest for more than 100 years, and now there is more of me as a person who can talk, she is very happy and talkative, and asked me many things, such as the outside world, and the affairs of the grandfather, etc., time passed quickly in the conversation between the two of us, and the night came.

Before I set out in the morning, I had expected this to happen, so I had my flashlight ready, but as soon as it got dark, I lost my sense of direction in the dark mountain forest, and even though there was a trampled path, I still got lost.

For the flashlight I took out, Lan seemed very curious, the box that would glow, this is also amazing, I was silent, in her time, the flashlight was indeed a magical drop thing, although the early years of the Republic of China had appeared that kind of antique flashlight, but for the remote people of southern Xinjiang, even after a few decades, the flashlight is still a thing that only exists in legends.

Seeing that she was curious, I handed her the flashlight directly. Although Lan is not human, her body is strange, she can float in the air, and she can also store in her bones, but it is not like the rest of the ghosts, just a spirit that cannot be seen or touched.

I've heard Taoist priests say that some ghosts that arise by chance can grow and cultivate, and after cultivating to a certain level, the soul body without substance can generate weight, and gradually condense into substance, also known as the Dharma body. There are also ghosts, resentment is powerful, powerful enough to condense the essence, which is why some powerful ghosts can control objects and hurt people.

Lan caught the flashlight I gave her and looked at her curiously, I thought she was the kind of cultivator that the Taoist priest said, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

I really couldn't find my way, thinking that Lan was a ghost, and the darkness must have no effect on her, so I asked her if she could take me to Yeling.

Lan nodded and walked in front of me. She could have floated, but in order not to make me feel afraid, she walked on her legs like me, and followed her for more than half an hour, when we finally left the woods, and in front of me appeared a familiar and unfamiliar open meadow.

Yes, that's what I mentioned earlier, the barren grass beach outside Yeling. It's exactly the same as the situation in my memories that I just recovered, this is a very wide grass pond, when I was twelve years old, I didn't know the world, and a group of little children such as Erhu and I ran here late at night to hide from adults, only to be cursed by this strange forbidden land in this legend, leaving that black line curse.

Yeling has not changed, the end of the grass beach is connected to the deep and dark woods, the forest is dark, there is a faint layer of green smoke floating above the whole forest, there is no end in sight, you can only roughly see the outline of the entire Yeling, it looks a little weird and mysterious against the background of the night.

When I got here, I felt the black line on my arm and the mysterious forest evoke, and in the depths of Yeling, there seemed to be a strong signal calling for the black line to return. I hurriedly rolled up my sleeves, and found that the black lines that had been separated for a long time had changed again, and all the black lines were like sleeping poisonous snakes being awakened, frantically struggling and twisting, trying to get out of my arms, and at the same time pulling me closer to the woods.
