Chapter 484: Barren Mountain Ridge - Ancient Castle in the Mountains
Secluded valley, blood-colored sunset.
This environment gives people an extremely oppressive feeling, because the surroundings are blood-red. Many people like twilight and find it beautiful and romantic. To be honest, I especially hate twilight because I find it eerie and eerie.
After hearing Huairou tell me that there was someone behind me. I slowly turned my head to look behind a tree in the far side of the valley, and sure enough, I saw a shadow behind the big tree under the blood-red sunset.
The trunk of the tree wasn't very thick, so I could see the thing hiding behind the trunk a little more clearly, it was actually a fox with a whole body in fluff.
Yes, that's right, not a human, not a demon. It's a fox that can stand at all.
Seeing this, I took a deep breath and shouted at the fox, who was frightened when he heard my shout, turned around and ran away.
The fox seemed to run, but it ran on all four legs. Seeing this, Tongchen was extremely surprised. I was about to chase the fox, but I stretched out my hand and grabbed Tongchen and said, "Don't chase it!" ”
"Why not chase? When we catch up with the fox, we will know where the fox demon's lair is" Tongchen still looked at me with a puzzled face and said.
I shook my head and said, "It's not that simple, the fox is the most cunning animal in the world, and besides, it can stand up, and you can see that he has become a sperm." Do you think a fox that has become a sperm will run to its nest? ”
Hearing my words, Tongchen nodded and said, "That's what I said." After speaking, Tongchen raised his head and looked at me again, and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
I glanced at Tongchen and said, "Aren't you a Taoist priest?" Taoist priests don't know how to find demons? ”
Tongchen shrugged and said, "Ghosts and demons live in the wild, which means that they don't want to harm people. We rarely catch ghosts and demons in the wild, so this is not in our business. ”
I turned my head to look at Chen Jinghao, who took out the compass from his pocket and said, "Ghosts have ghosts, demons have demonic energy, and the qi of all things can be detected through the compass...... Look at this compass......" Chen Jinghao pointed to the compass in his hand, only to see that the compass in his hand was motionless.
See what it looks like. Chen Jinghao himself was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The compass proves that this sentence is wrong." ”
"That's right, the compass doesn't move, which means that the aura here is artificially controlled!" Xu Promise said as she pulled out a chicken feather from her Miao costume. Inserted into the compass......
"What are you doing, what are you doing?" Chen Jinghao looked at my senior sister with a wary face and asked.
Without waiting for the senior sister to speak, a strange scene happened, and the chicken feather that the senior sister had inserted on the compass began to swing gently. Then we saw the finger on the compass turn in the opposite direction of the fox's run, directly behind us.
"Follow the direction pointed on the compass!" Promise spoke.
As I followed my senior sister forward, I asked curiously, "Senior sister, who taught you this, why have I never seen this method of detecting monsters before?" ”
Xu Yu turned his head to look at me and said, "If it didn't work before, there was no suitable opportunity at all, and this method was given to me by Senior Brother Linyi!" ”
Speaking of Lin Yi, Xu Xu smiled unconsciously, when I saw Xu Xiang like this, my heart would feel an inexplicable pain. But I don't know if it's because I'm used to it or because of something else, but when I saw the smile on my sister's face, I suddenly felt very happy.
I forgot how long it was, Senior Sister hadn't laughed, and it seemed that Senior Sister would laugh like this only if she thought about Lin Yi, right?
Xu Promise said: "Senior brother is a famous medicine bone master in our Miao Jiang, very good at catching zombies, I remember when I was a child, when I was practicing the demon hunting method with my senior brother, my senior brother told me that in fact, zombies are also a kind of monsters, and they can control their aura!" Often some masters like to use their strong strength to destroy this aura, but what they don't know is that in fact, the oldest and easiest method only needs a feather and a compass. Even the breath of the Corpse King can be found in this way. ”
"Your brother really knows about zombies!" After hearing the promise's words, the sarong said lightly.
I don't know why, I think the sarong's words sound very uncomfortable to me, let alone my senior sister. The senior sister glared at the sarong and said, "Of course, if the ghost catcher only predicts the future, it is easy to hold people back. ”
"It's here!" Just when the two of them were arguing, Chen Jinghao stopped, raised his head and looked ahead, and spoke.
Hearing Chen Jinghao's words, I breathed a long sigh of relief. It is estimated that this guy also had experience in quarreling with Xu Yu, and knew that these two people would quarrel endlessly, so he deliberately raised his voice and said it. Earth Festival Holy Talent.
"Wow, what a beautiful house, like a dream house, Huairou likes it so much!" Huairou's voice also sounded.
I looked up and looked ahead, and saw an old castle appear in front of us.
The appearance of an English-style castle on Chinese soil amazed all of us present. It can even be said that it is a little unacceptable.
However, if you think about it carefully, this is not an impossible thing, after all, in the late Qing Dynasty, China was reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, and there were ancient castles built by foreigners in many places.
It's just that when I was in Broken Bridge Village, Lin Juren never told me about the castle, which made me very strange, logically speaking, Lin Juren lived from the late Qing Dynasty to the present, and should know that there will be a Western-style castle here.
"Look at ...... behind us," said the fat man with great surprise in his tone.
Hearing Tongchen's words, we turned our heads together to look behind us, and there was a very big fog behind us, and under the sunset, the fog turned blood red, like human blood rolling in the air, and the way we came was gone.
"Little fox, are you looking at us?" At this time, Huairou said softly to the white mist.
After hearing Huairou's words, I saw a fluffy figure turn around and disappear from the fog from the fog.
I didn't intend to chase the fox, but Qiao Huairou's hand walked into this ancient castle step by step. Huairou was like an innocent little princess, walking to the front of the castle, under the huge castle, a few of us seemed incomparably small.
Soon, wearing a pure white dress, she came to the gate of the castle, she stretched out her little hand and put it on the door, and the oblique sunset shone on Huairou's body, reflecting Huairou's long skirt under the castle.
At the moment when Huairou pushed open the gate of the ancient castle, I saw a figure of a late Qing Gege and a Western princess intersecting each other......
Under the blood-colored sunset, Huairou's clothes seemed to have changed back into a red checkered suit, and the first time I saw her, it seemed that the little flag she was wearing on her head still made me remember it vividly.
Time and space seem to intersect in the castle.
It's an amazing feeling.
However, there was a faint worry in my heart, Sarong told me that the future of Huairou she saw was lost in time and space.
So, any place that might mess up time and space makes me feel dangerous.
"Little junior brother, why are you standing there alone in a daze?" A puzzled voice rang in my ears, and when I reacted, I realized that the promised people had entered the castle.
"Huairou, come here!" After I reacted, I realized that they had all walked to the door of the castle, and I was still more than ten meters away from the castle.
After hearing my words, Huairou was a little reluctant, looked at me, and said, "Amma, Huairou wants to go in and see ......"
"I know, Amma will take you in!" I looked a little serious and spoke.
Huairou walked to my side, I stretched out my hand and squeezed Huairou's hand tightly, and said, "Girl, promise Amma, no matter what happens in the castle, you are not allowed to leave Amma!" ”
