"Old man, let's not hide it, we're here to find someone, have you ever seen a thin man? He also came over here. I asked.

"No, you're the only living people you've been here in years." The old man said, hanging his head slightly.

I looked at Zhu Gui, his expression was very strange at the moment, he kept his face tight, stared at him and didn't speak, in front of outsiders, I didn't want to ask anything.

"Oh, then you said let's save you, but how, aren't we trapped here at the moment?"

When I asked, the old man raised his head, and seemed to be much more energetic, he coughed twice and said: "That's the case, I don't know much about others, but I still know a little about those insects, they are called gray soul insects, and they are also the old man's masterpieces."

I still don't know if the old guy is a human or a ghost, but he seems to have some characteristics of a human and a ghost, and knows many strange tricks, such as resurrecting paper figures.

In fact, he warned me a long time ago that I should not try to escape.

One day he burned a paper figure in front of me, and the ashes turned into the same worms as the ones outside, and he threw a piece of wood into the pile, and in an instant, the whole piece of wood turned into a pile of foam.

He said that these insects were called Grey Soul Worms, and that they had been put outside, and that if I dared to run out, I would be bitten to death by them.

As I told you about the incident, I ran away once despite my fear, and my feet became like this.

When I was working as a papermaker, I also heard rumors that these insects were transformed by evil spirits and fed on living people, and that they had no eyes, but could only sense the breath of the human body to determine whether they were edible or not.

So there's only one way to deal with this kind of bug, and that's to cover all your anger so that they don't perceive your presence.

As for the method of covering up anger, I also know a thing or two, but I'm not sure if it works, now that the three of us are trapped here, we might as well try it, it's a big deal to run back again, as long as we run in time, there shouldn't be any accidents.

"Then since you know how to dodge these bugs, why don't you try it yourself, why do you want us to save it?" Zhu Gui, who had been silent, suddenly interjected.

"Alas, this is my trouble, I forgot to tell you just now, I used this method the first time, but it failed, it should be my own reason.

This method of covering qi is effective for people who have yang energy in their bodies, and I don't have much yang energy in my body, so I would like to ask you to lend me some yang energy. ”

"Can you borrow this yang energy?" I asked, confused.

The old man nodded: "Well, I only learned about it through some folklore, and I haven't tried it, in fact, I didn't believe in it at all." But since meeting that weird old man, there's nothing to disbelieve. ”

"Then how do you borrow it?" I asked.

I suddenly felt that there was something wrong with him, he seemed to understand nothing with us at the beginning, and now he knew about the gray soul worm, and what kind of yang energy he borrowed, and what he said was the Tao, it seemed that this old man was not very simple.

The old man cleared his throat and said, "It's easy to borrow yang energy, you can say the eight characters of your birthday, and I can recite some more mantras." But again, I've never tried it, and I don't know if it works, but now there's no other way. But rest assured, this method of borrowing qi, including the method of covering qi just mentioned, will not harm you at all. ”

After that, he stared at us blankly, as if waiting for us to make a statement.

I turned my head and found that Zhu Gui was still there with a tense face and staring at the boss, as if it was rare to see him have such an expression, and I don't know what was wrong with him again.

Seeing that the old man on the other side had been watching there, I was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. To be honest, although I don't feel that he is hostile to us, I always feel weird, and I can't fully trust him.

At this time, the old man spoke again: "Two, how is it?" Are you willing to help the old decay try it, now I can't think of any other way, or we can only be trapped here, I can say, you don't have to eat and drink, and you are different, I'm afraid that if you are sleepy for a long time, you will have to worry about your life. ”

I thought about it, it's also the reason, although I'm the same as him, I don't need to eat or drink, but Zhu Gui is a normal person, if he starves him, it is estimated that even if those insects don't eat him, he will have to eat the insects.

It doesn't hurt if you don't give it a try, just improvise when the time comes.

"I ......" I was just about to say the eight characters of my birthday, when Zhu Gui suddenly stopped and said, "Qing Ming!" ”

I was stunned by his call, and thought, how did this kid become so abnormal?

Zhu Gui gave me a look, although I didn't know what it meant, but I guessed through his actions just now, I should not let me speak.

Immediately, Zhu Gui asked the old man: "Old man, I have something unclear, please make it clear." ”

"Oh?" The old man was surprised, "What's the problem, even if it's in person." ”

"Hehe," Zhu Gui sneered twice, then stood up from the chair, slowly walked to the old man, and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the old man's shoulder.

Zhu Gui's hand was like lightning, and the old man was not ambiguous, he quickly jumped up from the chair, jumped to the side, and said in astonishment: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I said old fellow, let's stop playing dumb riddles here," Zhu Gui turned his head again and said to me, "You look at him." With that, he walked to the pile of papers behind him.

Before I could figure out what was happening, I saw the old man in front of me leap into the air and fly directly over my head like lightning. I can't see it well, I see that he must be attacking Zhu Gui like this.

I don't know what this is, but I've guessed that this old guy isn't a good thing. I quickly turned around and jumped forward, at this time Zhu Gui had already noticed that someone was sneaking up behind him, he turned around, picked up the shovel and smashed it at the old man's shadow.

The old man dodged neatly, jumping to the side like a ball of wind, and I had already retracted my move in time and fell in front of Zhu Gui.

Zhu Gui stood in place, sneered twice, and said, "Old guy, the original form is revealed!" ”

For this sudden change, I still didn't understand what was going on, and I was chatting about the day, why did I suddenly fight?

The old man stood across from us, staring at us without speaking.

At this time, Zhu Guimeng turned around, picked up the shovel, and smashed it behind him. There happened to be a mutilated paper figure in the back, but at this moment it suddenly moved, obviously looking at the movement range was quite small, and it was slow, but it still dodged Zhu Gui's spade.

At this time, the old man shouted, "Assistant, you two don't want to live anymore." ”

By the time we heard it, his transparent arms had already grabbed us.
