CHAPTER XXI
"Wood sticks?" Shi Lan was puzzled.
Hu Tao recalled, "I've seen it in ancient books. The unruly fire that purifies the filth of heaven and earth, raises the firewood of Zhu Chi, and repels all demons, the ancient cane called the Staff of Goma, if you can find this, the cremated corpses can be cleared more cleanly in the future. ”
Shi Lan frowned: "Goma is mentally retarded? I think I've heard of it...... Isn't it rumored that it was lost in some ritual a long time ago......"
"That's right!" Hu Tao became excited: "I mentioned it to Mr. Zhongli last night, and he seems to have hinted that the place where the Staff of Goma was once lost is in the Wufu Slope!" ”
"Clams?" Shi Lan almost jumped up: "You believed that person casually said?" And ask me to go to that hellish place with me, which has no basis at all! ”
Hu Tao shook his head: "But what Mr. Zhongli said is very likely to be true!" His description of the Staff of Goma was as if he had actually seen it. ”
Shi Lan kept tapping his fingers on the table, frowning: "Zhongli's words ......"
"But we're still children after all......"
Hu Tao made Shi Lan hesitate, thinking that Xiangling had said Shi Lan's character, so he directly enlarged the move: "That's it, I'll pay 50,000 Mora to hire you!" ”
"How much? Fifty thousand? Shi Lan was taken aback by this number, and then hurriedly nodded, for fear that Hu Tao would regret it: "Deal!" ”
But the promise was so simple that it seemed that people thought he was a money fan, so he pretended to explain: "We are just helpful, you are looking for the right person for me, I am familiar with that place, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell." ”
Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, but he could be regarded as taking this guy down.
The staff of Goma was so attractive to her that when she first saw it in ancient books, she felt that it was for herself!
But the troublesome thing at this time is that she can't find anyone else to take her there, and she can't even hang the adventurer's commission without any foundation.
I happened to hear Xiangling say that there is a person like Shi Lan, who knows all about Liyue and is very skilled.
After letting the ghost investigate, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he was the best candidate to take him to Wufu Slope.
When the time comes, find Chongyun and ask for two demon-subduing talismans, and then bring the family heirloom treasures to ward off evil spirits, and then there is Shi Lan, the little overlord at the physical level, isn't Wuyun going sideways?
But this guy's cowardice is a problem, and a ghost almost scares him away, if he really encounters the evil ghost of Wuruipo, then what can he do?
Is it one level more insurance......
She immediately thought of Chongyun.
Since Shi Lan has been invited, can Chongyun also give it a try?
Hu Tao's little head melon is thinking about it again.
Chongyun, who was sitting at home from afar, suddenly shuddered, feeling that he was being targeted by something unclean.
Although he agreed to come down and go to Wufu Slope with Hu Tao, Shi Lan didn't have much time for a short time.
This trip will take three to five days just to walk, and no one knows how long it will take to find a staff of Goma, and there is a sick number lying at home, so you can't go out for too long, and this matter has to be considered in the long run.
Hu Tao agreed, saying that there was still a lot of work to be done to get to Wufu Slope, and she planned to talk to Zhongli again and ask him if he had any more details and information about the Staff of Goma.
"In that case, I'll take my leave."
Seeing that the two had nothing to talk about, Shi Lan offered to leave.
Hu Tao put away the book and went out to deliver Shi Lan.
As soon as he left the study, Shi Lan saw an acquaintance.
"Yelan? Why is she here? ”
The short hair with beautiful black and inner blue highlights is very recognizable, but why does the body look a little embarrassed?
Old Man Hu saw Yelan away at the door, and Shi Lan also hurriedly chased him out.
"Yo, Xiao Shilan won't play for a while? I asked someone to prepare lunch, so let's eat together? Old Man Hu tried to keep Shi Lan.
In his opinion, although his granddaughter, who is eccentric all day long, is smart and clever, but due to the reason of the Afterlife, he has very few friends, and all he knows is that Xiangling has not alienated Hu Tao, and this time he finally made a new friend, so he naturally has to take care of Shi Lan 100%, and he can't make people have a bad impression.
Shi Lan watched Yelan disappear around the corner, and hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, Grandpa Hu, I'm going to go first, I still have something to do." ”
"Hu Tao, I'll go back and play with you again~"
Hu Tao waved his hand: "I know!" ”
When he came to the street, Shi Lan looked around for a while, and saw Yelan walking by hurriedly at the other end of the street.
She lowered her head, and her state was a little bad, a little different from the confident and elegant Yelan she usually saw.
"Yelan!" Shi Lan trotted all the way to catch up with Yelan.
His little short legs are tired enough to chase a big long leg.
However, Yelan turned a deaf ear to Shi Lan's cries, and walked by herself, looking blankly at the pedestrians and shops on the street.
Her clothes were slightly torn, and even the backs of her hands were stained with undried blood.
"Yelan!"
Shi Lan unceremoniously tugged at Yelan's clothes, wanting to ask her how she could be like this.
Yelan finally turned around, but it was an unfamiliar face.
"Not Yelan?" Shi Lan saw that she seemed to be calling the wrong person, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry......"
"Tsk." Yelan let out a chuckle, "You're really honest, you apologize faster than the wind." ”
Shi Lan was surprised: "Are you really Yelan?" How so...... Oh~ You've used a disguise, aren't you, wearing a mask. ”
Yelan likes to disguise and disguise a lot on weekdays, and she always likes to pretend to be a passerby to tease Shi Lan when she comes to convey Ningguang's mission on weekdays.
However, today's disguise is a little poor, only the face has been changed, and the clothes and hair have not changed, so it should be too hasty and there is no time to prepare.
Yelan glanced at Shi Lan, regardless of him, he still continued to walk forward.
However, she still took off the mask on her face, and said in an indifferent tone: "What, this is a human skin mask...... It's made with real faces......"
Shi Lan breathed for a while, looking at Yelan and feeling uncomfortable.
Although I don't want to believe it, Yelan is a pervert, and the wound stitches are not anesthetic, who knows if she really got a human skin to wear......
"You guy...... You're scaring me again......"
"Whether it's true or not, you can figure it out for yourself."
Yelan dropped this sentence and walked with her long legs, and when she stepped forward, Shi Lan suspected that she was doing it on purpose, bullying herself because a child couldn't catch up with her.
"Hey, hey!" Shi Lan followed her with difficulty: "What's the matter with your injury?" The clothes are torn and the legs are exposed! ”
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Don't say that, we're colleagues anyway."
"Who's with you?" Yelan pouted.
"Then why did you go to the Hall of the Dead? Hey, those pieces of wood were ordered because you ordered them, right? ”
Yelan pulled her face: "Stinky little ghost, you're very annoying!" ”
"No, I just want to care about you, you're in a bad state, tell me, what's going on?"
"What's ......?"
Yelan suddenly stopped, and Shi Lan, who was chattering crookedly behind her, bumped into it without paying attention......
Supple......
But it's a humiliating hit.
Shi Lan rubbed her nose, very dissatisfied, and just wanted to say something, but found that Yelan's expression was very wrong.
Sullen......
Confused......
Struggle......
Shi Lan was frightened and took three steps back, and said weakly: "No, eldest sister, I just hit my buttocks...... You don't have to throw such a complicated expression at me, okay? ”
