The old cat continued: "Originally, the ghost slaying sword was in the limelight, and it would almost soon become a big role like the eight masters, but I didn't expect that ten years ago, the ghost slaying sword suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and it really disappeared." Almost overnight, no one in the entire industry had any news of him, it was as if the world had evaporated......"

I hurriedly asked, "How did you disappear?" Where did it disappear? ”

The old cat paused for a moment, then showed a strange brilliance in his eyes, and said two words lightly: "Beijing." ”

"Beijing?!"

I was so startled that I almost screamed, but thanks to my efforts to shut up, I swallowed those two words in my stomach.

That's where the rhubarb disappeared? Could it be that his disappearance is also related to the subway spirit and the four major families? So all this is too weird, right?

I hurriedly asked, "How did it disappear, does anyone know some details, is it rhubarb performing some tasks...... Old cat, talk about it. ”

The old cat glanced at the rhubarb in front of him and made sure that the rhubarb had not woken up, so he lowered his voice and said: "I don't know the specific thing, but I heard that the ghost slaying sword took over a big business back then, and suddenly came to Beijing from the south, but since that time, the ghost slaying sword has completely disappeared on the road, and no one knows what the origin of the customer who entrusted him before." So...... If something happened to the Demon Slayer, it must have happened here. ”

I had a suspicion in my heart. Hurriedly asked again: "By the way, didn't you meet rhubarb in the south?" Could it be that something happened here with the Ghost Slayer back then, and then he ran to the south? ”

The old cat spread his hands and said, "I don't know about this either." ”

The more I think about it, the more strange I feel, with the strength of Rhubarb, even in the face of the Bai family's thirty-seven powerful ghosts, he can kill them at will, and there is also a capable Bai Zunyi, even if what happened to him here back then, it is impossible for ordinary powerful ghosts to put him to death, could it be that there are other more powerful ghosts?

And why did Rhubarb suddenly become like this, and what was that strange piece of jade on his chest?

I think left and right. It's not right to think about anything, but the old cat doesn't know these problems, so I can only beat my chest and pause, crying out helplessly.

After more than an hour's drive, we finally arrived at the outskirts, and it was still daytime, so there should be no ghosts, we meant to take advantage of the daylight to get this done quickly. The province has many long nights and dreams.

However, when we arrived at the village where the Bai family's ancestral house was located, I found that we had thought too much, the dark houses of the Bai family's ancestral house were still located there, but there were many elderly people scattered around the Bai family's ancestral house.

As soon as we wanted to approach the Bai family's ancestral home, a few warm-hearted old comrades came over and interrogated them, as if they were the guardians of the Bai family's ancestral home.

I and the old cat continued to use the last strategy, saying that we are distant relatives of the Bai family, of course, this kind of inferior lie can't fool those treacherous and cunning uncles and aunts, after all, I, Rhubarb, and the old cat have different accents, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that we are distant relatives.

In the end, the villagers outside the Bai family's ancestral house surrounded more and more, all of them denounced us, saying that we were outsiders, and they had fallen in love with the Bai family's ancestral house and wanted to come over to steal, and there was an indignant aunt who took out a cottage old man machine and wanted to call 110 to call the police.

I have a sense of powerlessness to meet the soldiers, seeing that our situation is becoming more and more critical, I simply pull the old cat and rhubarb and hurry to run outside the village, this kind of uncle and aunt are the most unprovoked, they have time to consume with us, and if the time really alarms the police, the three of us may really be arrested as thieves.

In desperation, we hurried out of the village and hid in a small col on the side of the road.

Rhubarb sighed helplessly and said, "These villagers are really warm-hearted, and they don't know how much benefit the Bai family has given them, so they won't let them go in and have a look." ”

The old cat stared at the mountain village in the distance with a thoughtful expression, and said, "Alas, it seems that we can only wait until it gets dark and the old people are asleep before we go." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and a bad premonition rose in my heart, and I asked, "Do you have to wait until it gets dark?" It's dark, the uncles and aunts are gone, but I'm afraid that the ghosts of the Bai family are about to come out of the hole, right? ”

The old cat smiled bitterly: "Powerful ghosts are always easier to deal with than living people, living people can't be beaten, and if you don't do it, you will get into prison, ghosts are much more convenient, but if you can't beat them, at least there is hope to run." ”

I sighed and said, "Old cat, you are too confident, in case you meet those elders of the Bai family who Tsing Yi Immortal said, I'm afraid we won't be able to run if we want to, right?" ”

The old cat didn't answer me, but I knew he must have had that concern.

I looked at Rhubarb again and asked, "Rhubarb, can your Ghost Slaying Sword be shot at any time, and why are you waiting for a cooldown?" ”

Rhubarb's face changed, obviously a little embarrassed, he seemed to touch the jade on his chest through his shirt, and then said, "Actually, it's not that you have to wait for the cooldown time, it's just ...... Alas, Lin Yang, please trust me, I definitely didn't deliberately hide it to preserve my strength, but this is good for you and me. ”

I don't know what rhubarb is so hard to say, but I don't understand most of his words anyway.

As the minutes ticked by, the three of us had nothing to do, waiting from noon until the sun went down.

It gets dark a little earlier inside the mountain than outside, and it's almost dark just after half past seven.

I looked inside the village and asked, "Do you think the old fellows have gone home?" We shouldn't be in any danger now, right? ”

The old cat was very calm and said, "Wait, don't worry. If they go early and are seen by them, I'm afraid these people will stay awake all night looking at the Bai family's house. ”

I had no choice but to give up and wait with them for another hour. Rhubarb has nothing to do, just lying on the ground and watching the stars. In fact, the environment in the city is too poor, and there is haze, and I can't see the stars for a long time, but fortunately, the air in this mountain village is very good, and the environment is also wonderful.

Finally, at about nine o'clock, the old cat glanced at the mountain village and made sure that all the uncles and aunts were asleep, so he said with confidence: "The time has come, let's act!" ”

Rhubarb and I got up from the ground, patted the dust off our bodies, and followed the old cat to the village on tiptoe, feeling like a thief entering the village.

The old cat may still not trust me very much, and kept turning back to me and saying: "Lin Yang, this trip will definitely meet a powerful ghost, but no matter what happens, you must not make a noise, although those elderly people have their ears back, it is difficult to ensure that a few of them hear our movements, and it will be bad at that time." ”

I nodded and said, "Old cat, don't worry, I've been practicing for so long." ”

The old cat nodded, "That's good." ”

The three of us lined up in a long snake formation, and walked from the head of the village to the Bai family house on the other side.

The old house of the Bai family is built close to the mountain, the pattern is very peculiar, and the whole courtyard is also simple and solemn.

The dark gate was locked, and we certainly couldn't pry the door in, but fortunately, the courtyard wall was not too high, and there was a toon tree on the west side of the house.

With a "plop", I landed on both feet, and when I looked around, the front yard of the Bai family's ancestral house was really not small.

However, the courtyard has been deserted, overgrown with weeds, and there is something similar to a well in the middle of the courtyard, which is called a "cellar", which is a small warehouse used to store things in the north, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very convenient.

On the northwest side is a well, which looks to have dried up, and there is a faucet hanging outside the well, which is also rusty, and to the southwest is a dry toilet, and even the door has been blocked by weeds, which is even more desolate.

I looked around and whispered, "It's okay, everything is going well, old cat, let's go into the house now?" ”

Before the old cat could speak, Rhubarb suddenly frowned and looked towards the dry toilet on the southwest side. It's a throwing trick.

My heart moved, did Rhubarb see something, and hurriedly followed Rhubarb's gaze, this look is good, scared me into a cold sweat, only to see in the grass covered by the dry toilet, half of the face looming, a pair of empty eyes just staring at us!
