Coming out of the small county town with the same name as Ah Xue's family, Ghost One drove non-stop to the next stop. After a four-hour drive, the lights of thousands of homes have been lit up. Dong Mo contacted friends in the town in advance to solve the accommodation problem of several people.

After dinner, Ah Xue and Cha Cha wandered around the streets.

Duozhai is an undeveloped ancient town, strictly speaking, more like an ancient village.

Typical folk house style, intact preservation of the original style. The wet cobblestone pavement, the old teahouse with a sense of age, the bunches of corn cobs hanging under the eaves, and a few children chasing after me are laughing and playing on the not wide old street. There are also admiring travelers, sitting outside the hotel in twos and threes, playing and singing guitars. Classical or popular songs are sung in the streets.

There are people by the river who put lights on them. Cha Cha pulled Ah Xue, picked two pink lotus lanterns, lit candles, and watched them float far away before going back.

Dong Mo refers to a remote island in the south of Duozhai Town. There is only one arch bridge connecting the island. The island is sparsely populated and filled with mist all year round. Due to the narrow road, it was impossible to pass the car, so the four of them set off with their luggage after breakfast.

The scenery on the roadside is beautiful, but it looks quite desolate. There are a few families living on the mountain, and patches of moss fall from the cracks of the yellow mud rammed walls, and half of the bamboo fence is covered with unknown green vines. Occasionally, the backs of one or two old men and children appeared, walking slowly on the stone path.

"Here we are." Dong Mo said.

"Let's pitch a tent first." Su Mingyan commanded.

The arch bridge is longer than expected. I can't see the age, and the bluestone slab is repaired. The balustrade is carved with long snakes with their tails entwined together. The pattern is slightly rough, and the scales have been polished by time and flowing water, and they are bare, leaving only a few shallow nicks.

The smoky island on the opposite side makes the water turquoise and dark, with green algae floating on the surface of the lake. An ordinary island in the middle of a lake. But in Su Mingyan's view, there is a faint ominous taste.

A few people found a leeward place to set up their tents. It had just rained yesterday, and the ground was wet and slippery, and it felt dirty to step on a few feet. If it weren't for Dong Mo's presence, Cha Cha would have wanted to open Xingcha directly.

After the tent was set up, Cha Cha and Ah Xue sat on the ground and nibbled on the snacks they brought from the hotel. Su Mingyan walked around the periphery of the island in the middle of the lake.

"How?" Dong Mo asked with concern.

"Let the ghost take a look at it at night." Su Mingyan said, "The resentment is too heavy, so you have to be cautious." ”

The time for the ghost to prepare is particularly long. The straight black suit also unconsciously transformed into a dark color robe. Fortunately, the island is quite remote, and almost no one comes. The mobile phone signal in the mountains was not good, and Cha Cha pulled Ah Xue and Dong Mo to fight the landlord in the tent for an afternoon. The winter sun shone warmly on people, and Su Mingyan lay on the dry grass and fell asleep directly.

The oni sat cross-legged in the middle of the clearing. Close your eyes and concentrate, gather your strength, the patterns on the hem cuffs are brilliant, and the scattered ink hair is scattered in the wind. If you ignore the yin qi that gathers in, you are really like an immortal who is independent in the world, wanting to ascend to the sky.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the ghost floating in mid-air opened his eyes. The whites of the eyes were replaced by ink, and the dark pupils flickered with broken light, and when you looked closely, it looked like a starry night sky.

The hem of the clothes hunted, and the gathered yin qi condensed into silk threads around the ghost's body, weaving a chessboard around him. The stars are projected on it, and the canopy, Tianrui, Tianchong, and Tianfu turn into brilliant brilliance with the wave of the sleeves, and the nine stars light up and go out.

No matter how many times he saw this astrology of the ghost one, Su Mingyan felt shocked. I was sleepy-eyed just now, but now I'm awake.

"Tianzhu, southwest, see blood light, there is no danger." The ghost whispered the result. The fluttering star on the astrolabe, the blood lines are staggered, bright and enchanting, and the wisps exude a charming glow.

Su Mingyan quickly found the exact point according to the clues of the ghost one.

"Is the ghost talking about measuring the sky, or is it a baby with a breath similar to mine?" Cha Cha asked. The pillar corresponds to a yin star, the five elements belong to gold, and it likes to kill and warlike, however, Cha Cha prefers to call it the η Ursa Major.

"It's all there." Su Mingyan said.

The ghost slowly fell from the sky, the starlight disappeared, the chessboard shattered, and everything returned to peace. He nodded slightly towards Su Mingyan, turned around and disappeared in place.

Several people discussed and decided to explore the island at night.

Su Mingyan was in front, Dong Mo was broken, Cha Cha pulled Ah Xue, opened the finger pen and followed the stone bridge.

As soon as you step on the stone staircase, you can feel the aura around you change. A thick fog rose from the bottom of the bridge, and the original bluestone stone bridge glowed white, and the cold touch extended from the feet to the shoulders and arms. Cha Cha lowered her head and took two steps hesitantly, and the brisk sound of treading water came from her feet, and her head began to empty.

The red light of the finger star pen disappeared into the white mist, and Cha Cha suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that Su Mingyan's figure in front of him had disappeared.

Hurriedly raised his left hand, Ah Xue was still there.

But Ah Xue was obviously also frightened, and looked back with a pale face, where was Dong Mo's shadow.

The two stood in the middle of the bridge, with no end in sight. Cha Cha tightened Ah Xue's hand and ran on the bridge. Grunting and panting. The long snake on the railing seemed to come to life, its nine heads gathered together, its eyes rolling slightly. The water under the stone bridge was stirring, and the cry of a baby could be faintly heard, which was indescribably weird. I don't know how long I ran, but finally broke out of the thick fog, and the two of them stood on the ground on the other side of the stone bridge.

Looking back, only the stone bridge glowed cold white in the moonlight.

"Su Mingyan, where did they go?" Cha Cha looked around, but he didn't want to find the rest of his companions.

"I don't know." Ah Xue said, "I'll try to summon Bai Ze out." ”

"Uh-huh." Cha Cha nodded busily, one more spirit beast that can talk, at least it can strengthen his courage.

Ah Xue crossed her hands over her chest, closed her eyes, and called out to the spirit beast in her body.

No response.

The mist spread from the bridge to the shore, and the white marble-like stone bridge gradually turned red. The otherwise quiet water of the lake is rippling, and fire is rising from the waves on the left. The baby's cry came from all directions, and Ah Xue could no longer concentrate.

"Let's move on. Maybe catch up. Cha Cha raised his pen, and the light unexpectedly crossed the bridge deck, and the tent on the opposite bank was nowhere to be seen. I can only find Su Mingyan to meet first.

The two walked along the dirt road, and as the distance from the shore gradually lengthened, the stone bridge behind them also quieted. Only the lake water on both sides is left, changing the different colors of water and fire, and from a distance, it looks like a boiling hot pot, the kind of mandarin duck pot. Cha Cha is a little hungry.

The soft dirt road widened and there were lights ahead.

Ah Xue and Cha Cha looked at each other and ran forward quickly.

It's not Su Mingyan. But it's not someone I don't know at all. Under the neon lights stood the guitarists he had seen outside the hotel and greeted them warmly. It's a street, and it's still lively. Noisy bars, a variety of shops, and a variety of good food. Crayfish, crystal dumplings, spicy hotpot, small hot pot, Chacha's stomach is rumbling, I want to eat, but I don't dare.

"Beauty, we seem to have met?" The guitarist smiled miserably, holding a bottle of beer in his hand.

"I saw it yesterday." Xue said, "How did you find here?" What a coincidence. ”

"Fate. I was bored riding in the morning, and I found that the scenery on this island was good, but I didn't expect it to be quite prosperous inside. The guitarist opened another bottle of beer with his bare hands and handed it to Ah Xue, "Do you want to drink?" ”

"Thanks, I have a cold, don't drink." Xue politely refused.

"Okay, you guys go first." The guitarist returns to the bar and beckons his fellow fox friends who have come with him.

Ah Xue pulled Cha Cha out of the lamplight, "What do you think?" ”

"I think we and Su Mingyan may not be in the same space." Cha Cha said, "Although this street is lively, it is definitely not normal to appear in this kind of place. ”

Ah Xue nodded, feeling more and more flustered.

"But don't worry, the location of the ghost will not be wrong, we should be able to meet Su Mingyan and Dong Mo there." Cha Cha comforted, "Now it's full of yin energy, and it's not suitable to walk around." When it is daybreak, we will rest and then go to meet them. ”

"Hmm." Ah Xue looked back at the brightly lit street, and the words of Jiuying Hotel were particularly eye-catching among the many plaques.

"We don't have to live there, we have better options." Cha Cha took out the Xingcha in the package and said proudly.
