Chapter 51: Tracking
Before the night was dark, the campus was deserted. Zheng Pei, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, did not turn on the dormitory light, but just lay on his bed, looking out of the window blankly in the dark. In his mind, he kept repeating everything that Granny Ye told him, after all, it was related to whether his life could return to peace. Now, he has only one purpose, which is to find Ba Niang and hand over the black clay pot with a spell engraved on the surface to her according to Granny Ye's request. As long as this is done, Ba Niang will be able to extract the worms in his body and seal them into black clay pots to make potions, so Zheng Pei will no longer have to deal with these ghosts, ghosts, and gods, and he will be able to study with peace of mind and return to the world of normal people. Maybe...... Zheng Pei's heart was hot, he thought of Yang Ni, he longed to be with her, and her smile was his sweet memory.
Zheng Pei sat up from the bed and put on his shoes and coat. He carefully moved the black clay pot from under the bed from a small cardboard box. The mottled and cold touch of the clay pot made Zheng Pei feel a chill, but in order to have a better tomorrow, Zheng Pei gritted his teeth and hugged it into his arms, carried a schoolbag full of sundries, pushed the door and walked out.
No one is welcome in the dark night of deep winter, and the cold north wind keeps sweeping Zheng Pei's body, although it does not stop him, but the greedy plundering of body temperature also makes Zheng Pei have no time to find the burly figure in the treetops behind him......
The courtyard in front of Cheng Sheng's building was still empty, and at this time, even the lights in the guard's room were no longer on. Zheng Pei came to the sixth floor in front of the company where he and Ba Niang had entered. This company hasn't been locked since the last move. Zheng Pei put the black clay pot at the door, pushed the door and walked in. The room was empty, except for a few cardboard boxes and rotten hemp rope casually discarded on the floor. Zheng Pei walked into the back room, and it was strange that the things in the back room were all in place, as if waiting for the return of the master. Zheng Pei picked up the ashtray on the table and looked at it, if he didn't make a mistake, Ba Niang was killed by this heavy glass ashtray. Only now this ashtray is washed clean, except for a thick layer of dust on the surface, as if it were new. Zheng Pei took out a small bamboo tube the thickness of his thumb from his schoolbag and put it in the ashtray, and as soon as he let go, he saw that the small bamboo tube was jumping around. This is what Granny Ye gave him, and there is a small worm called rotten meat jumping in the small bamboo tube, which can be used to find Ba Niang. Sure enough, as Granny Ye said, the small bamboo tube stopped after a while. Zheng Pei put it in his jacket pocket, picked up the black clay pot at the door and came to the courtyard of Cheng Sheng's building, and began to circle in place. Finally, Zheng Pei stopped at the position facing southwest, because every time he turned in this direction, the small bamboo tube would beat gently. A stone in Zheng Pei's heart fell, he summoned an eagle and flew into the night sky with a "whew".
The eagle's speed was very fast, and after a while, Zheng Pei saw the forest that Ba Niang brought him to last time. He landed the eagle outside the woods and turned it back into a wooden sculpture and put it in his bag. And he himself judged the direction according to the frequency of the small bamboo tube beating, and walked into the woods with a black clay pot. Like last time, the woods were filled with eerie noises. But now such a trick can no longer affect Zheng Pei, but he can still see so clearly in such a dark environment, which makes Zheng Pei very surprised.
The small bamboo tube jumped faster and faster, and this restlessness was particularly abrupt in the dead woods. Almost at the same time that Zheng Pei saw the black hut, the insects in the small bamboo tube were like a fuse that had been burned, and there was no movement after a "Teng" effort. Zheng Pei took out the small bamboo tube and gently placed it under a tree, with a little gratitude and sympathy in his eyes. However, at this moment, he could not afford to delay more, and Zheng Pei could only sigh lightly and continue to move forward.
The black cottage is very different from the last time I saw it, the location has changed, and the surroundings have changed. If it weren't for that bug as a guide, he wouldn't have been able to find this place anyway. Zheng Pei walked around the hut and didn't see the door to enter the house. Without Ba Niang's spiritual letter, although I don't know if that spell will still work, I can only give it a try now. Zheng Pei put his hand on the wall and whispered: "Don't obey the order!" ”
The hut seemed to admit that Zheng Pei was its master, and after hearing the spell to open the door, there was a "crackling" sound and a large hole in the wall that Zheng Pei had touched. Another stone on Zheng Pei's heart also fell to the ground with a "bang", he hugged the black clay pot tightly, and dodged into the cave.
The smell of earth in the air, the soft floors like meat, the green fluorescence in the walls, everything was exactly the same as the last time I came. It's just that the farther he walked in, the more uncomfortable Zheng Pei felt, the smell of blood in the air gradually thickened, and there was an ethereal voice in his mind that kept reminding him that the things in this room were quite ominous. But he can't take care of it so much, as long as he can find Ba Niang, then his task will be completed, so he has to break through the sea of swords and fires in front of him.
