Chapter 61: Questions and Answers
When the two of them entered the wooden gate, before they could make any movements, the door behind them automatically and slowly closed.
"This?" Lin Bei looked at the closed door, and then at Wang Chaling, who was standing in front, with a somewhat nervous expression.
This is a very normal manifestation.
If it weren't for Wang Chaling asking him to follow, and the old woman outside the door didn't look very easy to mess with, Lin Bei would not have been able to enter this ancient mansion.
"Don't be nervous, just stay here and don't move around, it's definitely no problem in terms of safety." Wang Chaling turned around and said, he may be the future captain, and Wang Chaling still has a few words.
Zhang Dong is not dead yet, although this ancient mansion is dangerous, everything is within the control of the other party, as long as Lin Bei does not die, there will be no problem.
"Good...... Good. Lin Beidao, he is a very "persuasive" person, and Wang Chaling is his only thigh at present, and what the other party says must be listened to.
After the reminder, Wang Chaling walked towards the interior of the ancient house, the front yard of the ancient house was empty, only there was a wall behind the gate, or the shadow wall, which is not uncommon in Chinese architecture.
After stepping out of the front yard is a patio, which is in the shape of a mouthpiece, and when you look up, you can see a somewhat dim sky.
Wang Chaling stayed here for a while, this patio is the most convenient path to reality in this old mansion, and it doesn't take a strong spirit to pass through the barrier between the spirit and reality from that road.
This needs to be paid attention to, and it may be used in the future.
After staying for a while, Wang Chaling bypassed the patio and prepared to go inside, but he suddenly stopped his steps, his eyes a little solemn.
After rounding the patio, there is a corridor on the left and right, deep and dark, I don't know where it leads, and there is no end in sight at a glance, like a road of no return.
At the door of the second room in the corridor on the right, there stood a tall figure, somewhat emaciated, not quite in keeping with the tall figure.
As if sensing Wang Chaling's gaze, the figure slowly walked out of the darkness, it was an old man in a tunic suit.
His face is a little thin, his eyes are very deep, with some numbness, and there is a very faint smell of corpses on his body, very light, if it weren't for Wang Chaling's nose being "spiritual" enough, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to smell it.
"Mr. Zhang, my name is Wang Chaling, and I am the third generation of the Wang family." Wang Chaling took the lead in saying, his attitude was very similar to the previous Lin Bei, and he was even more "respectful".
Yes, it's respectful.
When facing Qin Lao, Wang Chaling dared to ask for his own lost interests, when facing Meng Xiaodong, Wang Chaling dared to bargain with the other party, and when facing Luo Qian, Wang Chaling also dared to test a hand, and even used favors to let the other party help him.
But there is a reason for that, Qin Lao pays attention to the future, and Meng Xiaodong also takes care of the juniors, neither of them will easily attack the ghost riders in the new era, and Luo Qian is restrained by human affection.
So in the face of Zhang Dong, Wang Chaling didn't have that kind of emotion at all, just standing in front of this old man, he had a feeling of suffocation, and all his previous arrogance was exhausted at this moment.
The more you know, the more you will be in awe, this is the normal state of the vast majority of people, and it is also the most basic attitude of the weak towards the strong.
Wang Chaling belongs to the part of the vast majority of people, but unlike that part of the people, there are only three and a half people who can make him "restrained" so far.
Zhang Dong is counted as one, Luo Qian without the constraints of human affection is counted as one, Meng Xiaodong is also counted as one, and Qin Lao can be counted as half, these are the top people in that great and terrifying period, and their strength is far beyond the current Wang Chaling.
Of course, awe is awe, if the other party wants to do it, Wang Chaling will definitely not continue to do this, restraining his arrogance is out of fear, but it does not mean that he will be willing to be arrested.
"Three generations of the Wang family, I know you, someone has already told me." Zhang Dong's tone was very gentle, and some did not conform to some of Wang Chaling's assumptions about him, or it was fantasy.
Wang Chaling was silent for a while, and he didn't know what to say, but finally handed over the puppet in his hand: "This thing was said by Granny Meng to bring in, and I think it should be handed over to you." ”
The puppet was taken by Lin Bei, who was suspected of being affected by the supernatural, from a supernatural zone to a supernatural bus, and Jiang Lan, who was discovered, got it, originally thinking that there would be some strange conspiracy in it, Jiang Lan also planned to ask Qin Lao after going out.
It's not necessary now, because this puppet has already found someone to take it over, and if there is anything you really want to ask, maybe you can ask the person in front of you directly.
Zhang Dong took the puppet, and Wang Chaling was attracted by his hand, which was very thin, and looked like there was no flesh at all, and his skin was full of wrinkles, no different from an ordinary old man.
But with a slight wave of this hand, it can reveal one of the most terrifying supernatural things at the moment, and even the captain can't take three hits before he has to turn into a rudder.
"I have to thank you for this, otherwise I, an old man, would have to go out or trouble my old friend." Zhang Dong said.
"Mr. Zhang, was this puppet arranged by Qin Lao? Is it for Zhang Youhong, or is it? Wang Chaling was not silent this time, and took the initiative to ask his own questions.
He originally came to Zhang Dong to "ask" about some things, and he has been asking how to ask as a stuffy gourd, and after the initial nervousness passed, Wang Chaling also began to be "bold".
"It was arranged by Xiao Qin, but it wasn't for Zhang Youhong." Zhang Dong's attitude was as gentle as ever, and he also answered Wang Chaling's question.
It's just that.
Isn't it for Zhang Youhong?
There is no need for Zhang Dong to deceive me, so what is the special spirit represented by the puppet and the strange aura that Jiang Lan said.
Wang Chaling was a little curious, but he didn't ask, if he wanted to say it, Zhang Dong had already said it just now, since this was the case, there was no point in asking.
"The revival of the supernatural cannot be stopped, and our generation has tried everything they have, and it can't be completely ended, and in the end it can only be done to this extent." Zhang Dong's speech speed was very slow, and every word was said clearly, recalling something.
"We put everything in the future, that is, now, blocking the circulation of all methods, wanting you to walk out of a new path in despair, now the speed of supernatural recovery is gradually accelerating, but your growth is not too bright, the three generations of the Wang family, do you think there is hope in this era?" The old man voiced his own questions.
Wang Chaling pondered for a while.
"Whether it is the people of this era or the people of the previous era, there is no one who can compare with your era in terms of strength and means."
"Zhang Xianguang's Taoyuan plan, planning to use ghost painting to create a paradise, his idea is good, before the terrifying supernatural ends everything, it can leave enough fire for human beings, but this method is not safe, ghost painting is also a ghost, or an important puzzle piece of a terrifying ghost, with the intensification of supernatural recovery, even if the ghost painting is controlled, there is also a situation out of control." Saying in front of Zhang Xianguang that his only son's plan is not quite good is indeed a very novel experience.
Zhang Dong was not angry because of this, but said in agreement: "That kid is really not good, he has read a lot of books, but his vision is still like that, and he finally came up with a plan that is full of loopholes, and he is also timid and forward-looking when he starts things." ”
Wang Chaling didn't take this stubble, what he said before was quite normal, Zhang Dong's words were a little overstepping, and he turned his head and said another thing: "But except for Zhang Xianguang, the rest of us don't even have a plan to fight against the revival of the supernatural, most of us are just struggling in the revival of ghosts and supernatural events now, and we can't even take care of ourselves, how can we think about those big things." ”
It's a fact.
The revival of ghosts, human infighting, and supernatural events, these three problems threaten the lives of ghost riders all the time, and their lives can't be saved, who cares about fighting against such a thing as a comprehensive supernatural recovery, maybe the full recovery hasn't come yet, and the people are gone.
However, this does not include Wang Chaling, he has his own plan, if he can succeed, he may not be able to end the supernatural, but that is not suitable to say, it will appear that he is a little "arrogant"?
"In this way, this era seems to be hopeless, but after all, it is the era of Qin Lao's bets, and it is also the era of high hopes given by him, maybe there will be some accidents in the future."
"Accidents? Perhaps, Xiao Qin's ability is really good in terms of layout, but your answer doesn't give me the answer to my question. Zhang Dong said.
Wang Chaling just briefly talked about the situation, and some of his own opinions, and then pushed the so-called hope on Qin Lao, as for his real opinion, he didn't say it, strictly speaking, he really didn't give Zhang Dong an answer.
Fortunately, Zhang Dong didn't hold on to this matter, and this question was just a casual question, after all, Wang Chaling was also the only one who had met him among the ghost handlers of this era.
"Your grandfather and I have some friendship, and with you sending the puppet to me, I can give you two chances to ask questions." Zhang Dong said what Wang Chaling wanted most, and everything went smoothly to Wang Chaling's surprise.
Originally, he thought that he would waste a lot of time in the ancient mansion, let Jiang Lan intercede, and he would have to pay some interesting information, but in this way, he might not be able to ask something from Zhang Dong.
Maybe Qin Lao communicated in advance, or maybe Granny Meng communicated with Zhang Dong, Wang Chaling thought so.
Of course, it is also possible that it really has something to do with his grandfather, but the proportion of it is definitely not large, after all, Wang Chaling knows that the relationship between his grandfather and Zhang Dong is a little better than that with Luo Qian.
……………
"What the hell is Wang Chaling asking, Brother Zhang actually sealed the entire house with a supernatural and didn't let anything peep inside, Sister Meng, do you know?" Jiang Lan looked at the old man beside him with some curiosity.
Meng Xiaodong smiled and patted Jiang Lan's back gently, although the two were from the same era, the difference in appearance made this scene look like a grandmother was comforting her granddaughter.
"There are always some secrets in the world that only a few people can know, secrets also mean pressure, and knowing too much is not a good thing."
Jiang Lan: ".......... Sister Meng, you still like to be a riddler as much as before. Having said that, Jiang Lan did not continue to ask.
As Meng Xiaodong said, many things are not something you want to know, how can you have the strength to bear those secrets, no matter how bad it is, you must have the potential to be recognized by them.
Jiang Lan's perception of herself, after being "beaten" by Wang Chaling, has quickly detached herself from the "arrogance" after recovery.
If you don't know, you don't know, it's okay, when the sky falls, there are tall people like Wang Chaling to stand up, with her strength, don't touch those things, only contact her current horror, and live a better life.
"You, you are still the same as before, you have no heart and lungs all day long, you used to choose to be an outlier, you found a place to do it secretly, and you still refused to contact me, and even asked Xiao Qin to deliberately hide your news, otherwise you wouldn't have died for several years, and now you don't care about some things." Meng Xiaodong said.
"Well, there is a reason for this, after all, the supernatural spirit I control is so special, and the burden on your body is also ......" Jiang Lan's voice became lower and lower, until he couldn't hear it.
"Forehead ........."
Wang Chaling, who came out of the ancient mansion, looked at the two women, one old and one young, and always felt that something was not quite right.
"Wang family boy, you take this doll, take it out after meeting someone, most of it will give me a face, Jiang Lan will stay here." Meng Xiaodong handed Wang Chaling a very ugly rag doll as compensation for taking Jiang Lan away.
There is naturally nothing to say about this kind of thing, Granny Meng's connections and deterrence are exchanged for Jiang Lan's connections and deterrence, Wang Chaling is not stupid, of course he knows how to choose.
"You two go on, let's get out of here at once." Wang Chaling was very knowledgeable and motioned for Lin Bei to follow, and the two walked along the path in the forest towards the outside.
The bus was still parked at the same location, but the ghosts around it had dissipated, and there were several series of footprints on the ground, which were not cut off until the edge of the old forest.
"Mr. Wang, it seems that we are lucky, the bus has not left yet, but I don't know when it will resume." Lin Bei looked at the bus and said with mixed feelings, Wang Chaling communicated with him for a while before coming out, and the two could barely talk now.
They spent a lot of time in the ancient mansion, and Wang Chaling spent at least five hours going deep into the ancient mansion, but he didn't expect the bus to still stop here.
"There's no problem with the bus, just move the things that block the road and start right away." Wang Chaling said and took Lin Bei to the front of the bus.
It wasn't a ghost who stopped the bus, it was just an incarnation of Meng Xiaodong, she had an infinite invasion of the supernatural, and it was very easy to use a body to intercept the ghost bus.
