Chapter 7: Russellan

"There are so many ghosts here!" Xiao You sighed.

Xu Chu said: "You can imagine how vicious the bandits were back then. ”

"Aren't there normal dead people, too?"

"Most of the ghosts here have died unjustly, and there are very few people who are old normally." Xu Chu said, "If you add people who have been reincarnated, this number is really very large." ”

Xiao You said in a low voice: "Fortunately, there are no bandits and bullies now. ”

"But why do these ghosts seem to be unconscious? It's not at all like me. Wang Ye didn't understand.

Xu Chu said: "These ghosts have been in the wild for a long time, without aura nourishment, and the spirit will gradually become soulless ghosts with the passage of time. ”

"They're so pathetic." Xiao You said, "Is there a way to let them reincarnate?" ”

Xu Chu nodded and said, "When my strength is high, I can send them all into reincarnation." ”

At the end of the small episode, Xu Chu led a group of people to a tree.

The tree looked like it was many years old, but it wasn't tall, just a head taller than a man, its wrinkled bark resembling the skin of an old man, and a few bugs crawling up and down.

The dry branches were left with only a few leaves, and they looked bare.

"What kind of tree is this?"

"Huangquanmu." Xu Chu squatted down in front of the tree and looked at the tree carefully, "It will only grow in places where there are many corpses and souls." ”

"Is there anything special about this tree?" Wang Ye asked.

It was the first time he had seen Xu Chu so attentive to a thing, he had known Xu Chu for so many years, and the Xu Chu he saw always looked cold and indifferent, as if he didn't care about everything.

"Under normal circumstances, ghosts can't leave the coffin tomb, but if there is a Huangquanmu nearby, they can leave with the help of Huangquanmu, and they can also go back to the tomb, in short, Huangquanmu is a passage."

Xu Chu explained.

Xiao You and Wang Ye glanced at each other and nodded stunned, after all, they didn't understand this at all, they could only believe what Xu Chu said.

"And we're going to the grave?" Wang Ye said.

Xu Chu nodded, a talisman was thrown out, and the talisman flew to the trunk of the tree and got close, and then the golden light was so bright that Xiao You's eyes couldn't open.

When the golden light dissipated, Xiao You and Wang Ye saw a simple and mysterious stone gate in front of Huangquanmu.

In the stone gate is a whirlpool, and you can't see the scene inside.

"Keep up." Xu Chu walked straight in and then disappeared, Wang Ye and Xiao You glanced at each other, and followed them into the door.

And Xiao You also followed Wang Ye's pace and disappeared into the night.

Then the stone gate disappeared without a trace, and this silent place returned to its original eerie appearance.

"How can there be such a big grave pit underground?" Xiao Yu looked at the tomb passage as big as a basement.

"It's horrible, it's all bones." Xiao You looked at the mountain of bones in the tomb and trembled.

"Is it a ghost's lair?" Wang Ye was stunned.

On the ground were mountains of bones, and in mid-air, hundreds of souls floated.

The spirits were different from what they had seen outside, they were all motionless with their heads bowed, as if they were hanging from the ceiling of the tomb.

All the faces looked like dry thousand-year-old corpses, and there was no lust in the empty eyes.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yu didn't understand.

"If I'm not mistaken, it must have been the place where his bandits held hostages at that time." Xu Chu said, "I heard that Jiang Ming was kidnapped by that group of bandits at that time, hundreds of people, all women and children. ”

"This group of people who kill a thousand knives." Wang Ye said indignantly.

"It's so hateful, these people are so pitiful." Xiao You sighed.

"Why are they still moving?"

Xu Chu looked at the copper coin in his hand and said, "This is a ghost sacrifice, they are all bound by a powerful ghost, and that ghost is devouring their spirits and thus becoming powerful." ”

"What about that?" Xiao You was a little flustered, this was a break into the Longtan Tiger's Den.

Wang Ye said to Xu Chu: "It seems to be in front." ”

"It's a familiar smell." Xu Chu said with a frown. "Won't it?"

After passing through a narrow passage and coming to a new burial chamber, Xu Chu was stunned when he saw the person behind the ghost sacrifice in front of him.

Xiao You and Wang Ye both held their breath (although Wang Ye didn't breathe), and looked at a beautiful girl in front of them with wide eyes.

At this moment, the girl was sitting on the ground meditating, her eyes closed, and she did not react to the arrival of so many people.

"She's weak." Wang Ye said.

"Hmm." Xu Chu said, "The timing is not good. She is dormant. ”

"What do you mean?"

"She devours power through the ghost sacrifice formation, but it is unstable, and she becomes weak every time she uses her power, so she has to sleep for a while, and when she returns to normal, she will devour her power again, and the cycle repeats."

I see, Wang Ye and Xiaoyou both understood.

Wang Ye said: "What should I do now?" ”

"I saw her last night." Xu Chu said.

This person is Luo Sulan, whom Xu Chu saw at the bottom of the mountain last night.

Then Xu Chu told Xiaoyou and Wang Ye about meeting Luo Sulan last night.

"She is also the ghost who drove Xu Mingde and his wife crazy."

Wang Ye was a little puzzled: "But how could she have anything to do with that decapitated corpse?" ”

Xiao You guessed: "Could it be that she controlled the buffalo this morning and humped the decapitated corpse to us?" ”

"That's my guess too." Xu Chu said.

"But why did she do that?"

Xu Chu was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe after she saw me last night, I believe I can help her redress her grievances." ”

"What does the boss mean is that she's the girl with the severed head?"

"Possibly." Xu Chu said, "It seems that the corpse is related to Xu Mingde and his wife." ”

"Luo Sulan, the name is also very similar to Luo Guilan."

"Is it possible that she was killed by Xu Mingde and his wife? Did she become a ghost to take revenge? ”

"Quite a reasonable guess." Xu Chu said, "But there is one biggest doubt. ”

"What's the doubt?"

"This Luo Sulan looks like he's been dead for a long time, and the decapitated corpse has only been dead for a few days."

Xiao You and Wang Ye were silent, they couldn't figure it out, solving cases or something, it wasn't their specialty in the first place.

……

Back on the ground, Xu Chu laid out a formation to protect this Huangquan Wood, he fell in love with this Huangquan Wood and wanted to find a time to transplant it to Devil Cry Ridge.

After that, Xu Chu and Xiao You Wang left at night.

……

"Boss." Xiao You, who was walking with his head down, suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter?"

"Is my mom still there?" Xiao You looked at Xu Chu, his clear eyes flashing with hope.

Xu Chu was silent for a long time and said, "Yes, but you can't see her yet." ”

"That'...... When? ”

"We'll talk about it later, and I'll let you meet when the time is right."
