The Ghost Valley Relic Palace Chapter 22 The Phantom

After settling down, everyone first counted the lost things, fortunately, the dry food was still in the Golden Tiger's big backpack, and those important equipment were basically recovered, otherwise the next days might be difficult.

I lay limp on the ground, and Jin Hu picked up some dead branches and leaves and lit a fire to keep everyone warm.

Today I was embarrassed again, no one thought that there would be a collapse in the dark tunnel, it was a lot of bad luck.

Until dinner time was over, everyone was still lying dejected, but the owner was still walking around in great excitement.

Jin Hu scolded very unceremoniously, "Old guy, can you stop quietly for a while, isn't this day exciting enough?" ”

The shipowner took over and said, "No, no, no, I think we seem to have one less person." ”

"What nonsense, aren't everyone walking around here, you have to say nonsense that Lao Tzu broke your front teeth again." Jin Hu rolled up his sleeves and pretended to do it.

The shipowner hurriedly explained: "Don't, don't, boss, when I was helping you move things outside just now, I saw the big brother with a flat head standing behind, and he disappeared in the cave, how could I talk nonsense." ”

I suddenly chuckled in my heart, didn't Pingtou say that it was an army?

Jin Hu probably didn't realize anything yet, and he raised his hand to beat the shipowner, but I stopped him and asked, "Haven't you heard it yet?" Think about who he is talking about! ”

Jin Hu was stunned for a long time before he understood: "The army is the only one among us who has shaved his head, do you mean that he saw the army?" ”

I nodded and said, "Ever since the corpse of the army was controlled by the Grimace Spider, I had been worried that he would turn around and trouble us, and now that he is elusive, he really makes me break out in a cold sweat. If you meet him again, you must not be soft. ”

Jin Hu said: "You mean, you will be him when we meet again?" ”

The shipowner looked at us with a frightened face and said, "Two bosses, what are you talking about, what kind of grimace spider, what corpse, you are preparing to kill?" ”

Jin Hu lowered his face and put on an evil face to him and said, "That's right, we want to kill people, but we want to kill people." You're going to ask me about it again, believe it or not, I'll send you to see Mazu Niangniang first? ”

The shipowner immediately stopped talking, and then went to the side to find a place to sleep honestly.

It is estimated that everyone was tired, and it was not until eight o'clock in the evening that they got up one after another to eat something, and after eating, they each lay down and fell asleep.

After a while, the sound of snoring resounded throughout the cave, but I was still awake.

At the moment, we are facing a lot of problems, and according to the current progress, we have seriously deviated from the original plan, which means that we must hurry up and complete the task before the supply is exhausted, otherwise the situation will only get worse.

In the past two days, I have found that my physical and mental quality has improved dramatically, and it is difficult to imagine how I would have coped with the situation in such an environment before.

Seeing that the rain outside had finally stopped, I ran outside the cave and lit a cigarette, and when I turned around, Qin Xuanling also came out wearing a coat and said to me: "It's not good to smoke too much at night." ”

I smiled and replied, "I'm used to it, it's boring not to take two puffs." ”

He took out a pill and said to me, "Try this, you can quit your addiction to smoking, and I used to use it for big smokers." ”

I laughed and said, "Big brother, you treat me as an addict, but I'm just smoking."

Qin Xuanling said quite deeply: "As a man, you have to block all bad habits, so that you can achieve great things." ”

I joked, "It seems that you used to be a person with a story, did you smoke a big cigarette or something?" ”

Qin Xuanling said expressionlessly: "I won't touch that kind of thing, we have rules in Longmen Dao, and all addictive things are not allowed to be touched." ”

I was curious: "So you are similar to monks and Taoists, right?" Can you get close to women? ”

He said, "We just pay more attention to it, but we don't have the rules and precepts of Buddhism and Taoism. Speaking of which, Longmen Dao still has a certain origin with orthodox Taoism, but we are used to freedom, except for not getting tobacco, alcohol and drugs, the others are no different from normal people, so marrying a wife and having children is not new. ”

I think that although he is from Nanyang, his behavior and way of speaking are no different from ours, and he even has a bit of an ancient style.

Compared with those overseas Chinese who like to add two English words at every turn, it is obviously more comfortable to get along with this one.

So I said to him: "According to the old tradition of our Chinese, friends should be called by the name of the name, but now we don't pay attention to the size, so we have changed to a nickname or a nickname."

Although we've only known each other for a short time, we can be considered friends, right? I'll call you Qin Xuanling after I see it, your name is too awkward, so it's natural to call you like this. ”

He patted me on the shoulder and said lightly: "Friend is for sure, it's no problem for you to call me that, but this trip is over, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future. ”

I wondered for a moment, is it a bit too early to say such things at the beginning?

Seeing that Qin Xuanling had returned to his previous deep appearance, looking at the bottom of the mountain in a daze, I hurriedly opened the topic and asked him what he thought of the army.

He came back to his senses and said, "Actually, I think this thing is quite strange, it stands to reason that the army is dead, and even if it is controlled by the ghost-faced spider, it is impossible to come and go freely like a normal person." Unless, he's become a 'ghost'.

I was in a similar situation in Malaysia, when I was asked to go to Penang to deal with a mortem that was said to have been bitten by a poisonous snake and died, only to be defrauded at the funeral three days later, and by the time I arrived, many people had already died.

This kind of thing is very difficult to deal with once it becomes a climate, and it will constantly maintain its body by absorbing the essence of living people.

But the army has been hiding in the shadows since it disappeared, and it seems that it doesn't need the essence of the human body to survive.

If that's the case, we're probably going to be in big trouble. ”

After listening to him, I couldn't help but shudder, I saw this thing when I watched "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", one of the legendary charms and spirits, which is mainly to absorb the essence of living people on weekdays.

Although I had never heard of such a thing before, it was obvious that Qin Xuanling would not make fun of me casually.

I asked him if he could find a way to lure the army out and get rid of it as soon as possible, even if he was our own man when he was alive, and it would be a disaster to leave him in the shadows now, and sooner or later we would have to meet him with swords.

Qin Xuanling shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, you have to know that the charm is also spiritual, it can trick the living to absorb the essence, naturally it is not easy to deceive." ”

At this moment, the little gourd that had been tied to Qin Xuanling's waist suddenly began to whine, I thought it was the water ghost he caught making noise inside, but I didn't expect him to say to me: "It's not good, there is a situation nearby, I'm afraid the army is coming." ”

I was surprised: "Your little gourd can still sense dirty things?" ”

Qin Xuanling replied: "This can also be regarded as a talisman for our Longmen Dao people, it will alert me when there is danger, but it is useless for ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts, it will only make a noise when it encounters something with a strong evil nature." It seems that the current army has completely become a climate, be careful! ”

With that, he turned and went back to the cave, and I hurried in to get my gun, but as soon as we entered the cave, we smelled a very strange smell, like a corpse, and a smell of sulfur.

Qin Xuanling's eyes were sharp, and he immediately found the problem, pointed to the four eyes lying next to Lin Qian and said, "Something is not quite right over there, quickly dodge." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Qian suddenly straightened up with a carp, and then let out a series of extremely weird laughter, and then looked at his face, which was already bloodless, as if it had been coated with a layer of white ash, which was very terrifying.

Qin Xuanling did not hesitate to pull out another short sword on his waist and threw it straight out, who knew that he was caught in mid-air, and Ding Qing saw that it was an army that had become a "ghost" hanging on the roof of the cave......
