Chapter 212: Exploring Ghost Cub Ridge at Night
According to the instructions of the soul-attracting light, I walked for about half an hour, and a small col appeared in front of me.
The fat father suddenly showed a look of fear, pointed to the mountain col and said in a trembling voice: "This is the Ghost Cub Ridge, go down to that mountain col, this is the place where we found Lin Yang that day." ”
I nodded, and the light of the soul-attracting lamp was also pointing that way, and it seemed that the fat man's soul was there.
"Uncle, let's go down."
The fat dad seemed to have made a lot of determination to follow me.
This ghost place is rarely visited all year round, there is not even a road, it is full of half-deep weeds, and the cold wind blows in the middle of the night, whining, like some kind of beast crying.
I carved a path with my bone sword, and I struggled to walk down with the soul-attracting lamp.
Fortunately, the col was not deep, and it didn't take long for us to go down to the bottom of the ditch.
In my imagination, this place should be full of ghosts and yin energy.
Surprisingly, I didn't smell a trace of yin, let alone the little ghost. It just makes people feel that this place is desolate and lifeless.
After going down to the bottom of the ditch, the fat father looked around carefully, pointed to a certain place and said in an almost indistinguishable voice: "There is a well in the shade, and those dead children were all thrown into it, and Lin Yang was also unconscious there." ”
Filled with curiosity, I walked a few steps to the well.
From the outside, the well is an ordinary well, the mouth of the well is half a meter above the ground, and the well is made of irregular stones.
Such wells can be found everywhere in the countryside and are mostly used to irrigate nearby farmland.
I went around the wellhead and found nothing special.
I lifted the lamp and shone it into the well.
At this glance, I suddenly felt abnormal. There were a few dead grasses and a few leaves floating on the water, but the water was black, giving people a sticky and bottomless feeling.
This is obviously not right!
According to the fat man's parents, the dead children have been thrown in this well for decades, and the dry bones should be higher than the well.
But why can't you see a single dry bone?
Thinking about it like this, the feeling of looking at the black water immediately changed, could it be that all this water is corpse water left after the corpse decomposes?
What makes me even more puzzled, what did the fat man crawl out of the coffin at night and come here for?
"Uncle, let's go, Lin Yang's soul is not here." Without stopping for long, I called out to the fat man and continued to walk forward according to the guidance of the soul-attracting lamp.
The fat father was a little panicked, walked a few steps to catch up with me, and asked in a low voice, "Changsheng, isn't this lantern leading the way?" The Ghost Cub Ridge has arrived, why is it still pointing around? ”
I was afraid that he would be worried, so I didn't dare to tell him that the fat man's soul might have been captured by something, and replied: "Maybe the soul has been lost for a long time, and the soul has run away elsewhere, and it can't be wrong to follow the soul attraction lamp." ”
When the fat father saw me say this, he didn't ask again.
We walked silently along the way, the terrain getting steeper and harder, and the grass around us grew thicker and thicker, reaching the shoulders of people.
My heart became more and more anxious, and I couldn't help but wonder if this soul-attracting lamp was good or not.
After all, this lamp is our only hope, and if it is not good, there is really nothing to be done.
Just when I was about to get on fire in a hurry, the brightness of the soul-attracting lamp in my hand suddenly increased a lot!
The fat father was stunned and asked, "What's going on?" ”
To be honest, this is the first time I've used this soul-attracting lamp, and I don't know what's going on.
There has been only a ray of light along the way, and now there has been a sudden change, and eighty percent of them are in the situation.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "The fat man's soul should be around here, let's look carefully." ”
"Son, are you here?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the fat father shouted loudly.
I also shouted: "Fatty, I am Changsheng, if you are here, come out quickly, I will take you home, don't be afraid." ”
I just shouted twice, and the fat father suddenly pulled me, his face turned pale, and he pointed to a crooked-necked tree in the distance and exclaimed, "Long ...... Immortals, you ...... What do you think that's it? ”
I followed the point of his hand and saw a black figure in the tree.
"Fatty, is that you?" I shouted tentatively.
The figure flickered a few times, as if in response.
Seeing this, I was surprised and delighted, happy that I had finally found him, and surprised that his soul was so weak, so weak that I could only see a ghost.
What's going on? Could it be that his soul is wounded?
I can't care so much, it's always a good thing to be able to find it, as long as I can get together the three souls and seven spirits, this little injury can be slowly healed.
I walked quickly to the crooked-necked tree, and pulled the soul-attracting lamp forward, and the fat man's soul swished and floated into the lantern of its own accord.
When the fat father saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "I finally found it, let's go back." ”
"Uncle, this is just a soul of Lin Yang, the rest of the soul has not been found yet, look at this lantern, it has led us again."
The fat father glanced at the soul-attracting lamp and said, "Oh, then let's continue looking." ”
His tone became relaxed, as if the big stone that was pressing on his heart had been removed, and after so many days, he finally saw hope.
The two of us continued to move forward, stumbling along the way, and I don't know how many heels we fell, and our clothes were scratched by thorns.
I also found a few souls of the fat man.
The fat father was in a better mood, and he talked a lot, and said angrily: "This little rabbit cub, the soul has run so far, look back and see how I clean him up." ”
I muttered in my heart, judging from the souls we recovered, the fat man must have hurt his soul.
But why is it so scattered?
It seems that it is somewhere remote and where to drill, obviously avoiding something, and it has to disperse the soul, resulting in the end not being able to get together and not returning to the body.
I searched for the fat man with him for half the night, and finally found the last of the fat man by a small river when the rooster crowed.
Looking at the whole lantern lit up, my heart that had been hanging was finally relaxed, and I was fortunate to live up to my mission.
"Uncle, it's okay now, the fat man is fine, let's go home ......"
"Whoosh!"
Before I could finish my sentence, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air behind me, and something was flying towards us at a rapid pace.
I secretly said that it was not good, so I pulled out the bone sword on my back and turned my head to meet it.
In the previous battle, my ear strength, vigilance, acuity, and skill have been greatly improved, and this sword went down, accurately and ruthlessly, and stabbed at something at once.
"Tweet ......"
A terrible birdsong sounded, and when I turned completely, I saw a large bird flapping its wings and flying away.
"Yes...... An eagle. ”
The fat father clutched his chest, exhaled, and said with palpitations.
Apparently frightened by this sudden scene.
