Chapter 471: Escape
Zhong Xueran's breath stagnated.
Really...... The ghost and her are both well aware.
The devil knows she's dragging her feet, and he's waiting for her to lead the wrong way.
In addition, there is another piece of information.
There was a time limit for finding the meat slope.
I only have three minutes left......
Zhong Xueran didn't pretend anymore, and immediately got up from the ground, rushed to the top of the slope, and looked around.
As long as you find a tomb with no traces of going to the grave, you can ......
However, under this look, Zhong Xueran suddenly shuddered.
She shook her head in disbelief and descended the slope step by step.
Truly...... The tomb of this ghost may not be worshipped, but what Zhong Xueran didn't expect at all was that there were also a lot of tombs that no one worshipped!
Looking down through the moonlight, the graves on the various slopes full of cemeteries, with and without traces of worship, turned out to be half and half......
Oops......
It's really bad now.
"Click-"
"Click-"
What is this sound?
At first, the voice was relatively weak, and Zhong Xueran thought she had heard it wrong, but after listening carefully, she found that the voice was coming from behind her!
It's a very obvious bone crunch, it's the ghost behind him moving!
She didn't dare to look back, but just by listening to the voice, she could imagine the picture behind her, the ghost's bones were expanding...... It's like showing its original form.
Zhong Xueran felt a chill, she forcibly calmed herself down, it was not time to wait for death, as long as there was time, she must not give up......
I can't just die, I can't just die here!
This life was exchanged for Xu Yi's own life, and I must not die here!
Zhong Xueran didn't fall into despair, but she couldn't find any way either.
She could only wander in vain about the graves three minutes before the final countdown.
The shadows of these tombs are more and more miserable in the moonlight.
Zhong Xueran suddenly had a strange feeling.
This place seems to have gotten bigger......
The grave bag is taller, the ravine on the ramp is deeper, and even the sky seems to be higher......
Wait a minute!
Looks like I'm getting shorter?!
Zhong Xueran suddenly realized that the crisp sound of the bones just now was not from the ghost behind him, but from himself!
Her bones are shrinking!
When she came back to her senses, the size of her whole person had shrunk to less than one meter three......
The clothes on his body became extremely loose and his shoes became ill-fitting......
I'm dying!
Zhong Xueran turned his head violently, but what he saw was a powerful ghost holding a red umbrella, and that terrifying face with a sneering smile.
The outermost layer of black paper clothing on its body had completely peeled off, revealing its original attire.
This ghost, it seems, really comes from ancient times?
A voice suddenly appeared in Zhong Xueran's head......
[Dad, every generation of our Zhong family has to enter the Pupil Realm, can't we catch those ghosts and use them ourselves? 】
[No...... You have to remember that people are people, ghosts are ghosts, and people can never catch ghosts, even if they seem to manipulate ghosts, they will only let themselves fall into hell as well, and they will never recover. 】
[Dad, why do you know so well? 】
[Because in ancient times a long, long time ago, there were such people...... It's in our brochure...... In the future, if you encounter ancient ghosts, it is possible that the descendants of that kind of people are manipulating, you must be careful, they are dressed in human skin, but no one has a human heart......]
Who are they? 】
[They...... He is also a Taoist priest. 】
[But, why ......]
Zhong Xueran's eyes gradually widened, this powerful ghost holding a red umbrella, this costume, there is no doubt that it comes from ancient times!
But just now its clothes were covered with a layer of black paper clothes as a cover, could it be that the person who let it out and attack himself was what my father said before, the kind of Taoist priest who can control powerful ghosts, wearing human skin, and has no heart?!
Could it be that the back I saw before was a Taoist I had seen?
While thinking about it, Zhong Xueran's body shrank by a few centimeters.
She didn't feel any pain at all.
If you continue like this, when the three minutes are up, you may disappear directly from this world!
No way...... Absolutely not!
On a rainy night, a cold wind blew, and this chill spread to the whole body, and it was impossible to tell whether it came from the soul or the outside world.
It's less than a minute, what to do?
What other clues?
The ghost was holding a red umbrella, dressed in ancient costume, with a cruel smile on his face and red eyes.
Zhong Xueran stared back at it without showing weakness, and she still didn't give up thinking.
While looking at the clothes on this ghost's body, she suddenly thought of something!
Why did the person who released this ghost dress it in paper black?
It's a ghost, why did it do it? Could it just be that the man had a whim and burned it in black clothes to wear?
No......
It won't be that simple.
Since this ghost is coming for me, the act of dressing it in black paper clothes is for me to see.
Wait a minute!
If I hadn't fallen and accidentally broken the ghost's clothes, I wouldn't have been able to tell with the naked eye that the ghost's coat was made of paper, that is...... What that person wanted to hide was that this ghost was wearing ancient clothes, or even from ancient times?
He's afraid I'll guess who he is? No...... If it goes well, I'll be a dead man, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
There's only one possibility...... The fact that this ghost is from ancient times will directly affect whether or not this strange story can be successfully escaped by me!
That's why he dressed this ghost in black paper clothes and concealed the most important clue!
One thought, everywhere.
When Zhong Xueran looked back again and thought about the "meat slope" that this ghost said, other ideas suddenly appeared.
Could it be that there is a ramp in this place, which in the old days was called "meat slope"?
She thought of the possibility, but the current name alone could only be recalled after arriving at the scene, let alone the name of the past.
What was the name of the meat slope in ancient times...... Huh, wait, meat?!
Zhong Xueran's eyes lit up suddenly!
She just runs!
Understood, everything has been figured out!
Slope was still a slope in ancient times.
But meat was not necessarily meat in ancient times!
The word "meat" and the word "moon" were written in the same way in ancient times, and even in the evolution of writing, the words with "next to the meat moon" are mostly related to the human body, muscles, etc., such as "spleen", "gall bladder", "kidney", "leg", "brain" and so on.
Therefore, the meat slope that this ghost is looking for is actually the moon slope!
And the moon slope is in the ...... Over here!
Zhong Xueran stopped his steps, stood in front of a crescent-shaped ramp, turned around and looked at it breathlessly: "This is it, the meat slope you are looking for!" ”
The female ghost holding the red umbrella stared at Zhong Xueran with an extremely ugly face, but she didn't make any movements, just ...... step by step Slowly walking to a deserted grave on the slope, the figure gradually became transparent, as if blending into the grave, completely disappeared.
Zhong Xueran looked at her body, and the moment it disappeared, her frantically shrunken body had already returned to its original state.
Her gaze fell back on the wild grave, and it was indeed no one to sweep the grave.
Zhong Xueran took out a few candies from her pocket, which she had prepared to replenish her energy, gently placed them in front of the grave, folded her hands, and turned to leave.
Back on the road, she immediately saw a man with a flashlight and a careful look at the footprints on the muddy mountain road, it was Xia Nan.
Xia Nan also seemed to feel her gaze, looked up at this side, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Welcome back, Miss Chung."
