I didn't say anything, my eyes slightly narrowed, watching those "people".
No, it was those puppet ghosts that disappeared into the wasteland.
Shiyu indeed is looking for Shique.
If she can't find it, then I'll go and find it only after the matter is settled, indirectly, this is to reduce trouble for me.
Among all the people Shiyu has offended, I am not included.
"Leader, over there." I raised my hand, pointing to an orientation.
The cold and harsh gaze of the leader, from Shiyu moved away, he swept the others, the look indicating that after, only then did he walk in the direction that I indicated.
We only descended from the wasteland once we were almost at the location.
Weeds cut at the ankles, causing a slight stinging sensation. Under the gentle breeze, there were patches of grass here and there, with faintly visible, broken and dilapidated tombs among them.
Lao Gong opened his mouth wide, taking in a deep breath and then exhaling forcefully.
A hiss, a ha, a ss, and ha sounds, echoing continuously.
My heart has always been filled with caution and seriousness.
Although there was no body among the people who were traveling with us, but, gao is ghost things, last time in front of me have so much advantage, will see again me, probably not so easy to give up.
The crowd hurried their steps, but all remained on guard.
In a flash, we have walked more than half of the distance of the wasteland.
Gao did not appear, and there was no sign of his appearance.
As we continued to move forward, the crowd seemed slightly more relaxed.
Finally, we have arrived at a location.
That is the courtyard next to the emotional ghost old woman, which is also the place where my last visit with Zhang Guǐ and others and I entered here.
The courtyard looked unchanged, except for the chicken blood at the gate, which I had dug up, leaving only traces of bright red blood at the edges and corners.
Qijia Village is filled with heavy yin energy, blood will not dry.
The leader looked around left and right, Zhi people horse tower, Guipo master He Xianliang, as well as the fishman TANG DING, also look around.
There were also two from the lowest rung of society, who followed closely behind the leader, maintaining a distance of less than half a meter.
As for Shiyu, her gaze was directed towards the courtyard on the left.
From here, we could see that there was an old woman leaning on the courtyard door in front of us, looking towards our side.
"Could there be a Ghost with a White Heart in Qijia Village?"
"Not simple." Shiyu muttered, her tone filled with interest.
"Let me take it." Zhu Yu spoke softly.
Old Gong licked his lips, and immediately a sinister smile appeared on his face, reeking of ghostly aura.
Shiyu made a soft "hum".
I furrowed my brow, but it wasn't because I was afraid they would disturb the old woman.
Emotional ghosts, not looking at gray white yellow black blood green such grades, but it's just the innermost emotions.
Even if we all go over there, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything to the old woman.
"That ghost is very fierce, I advise you not to create any new problems." I spoke in a deep voice.
Zhu Yu looked at me with cold eyes and showed great dissatisfaction.
Shiyu, however, furrowed her brow, as if deep in thought.
"Then, Zhu Yu spoke in a low voice: 'People who have no ability, need to be protected, so they will feel that everything is very fierce.' "
"Even the fiercest Ghost with a White Heart, is still a Ghost with a White Heart, in front of my killing blade's aura, only will be frightened and collapsed."
I stopped speaking.
Good-hearted advice, turned into the dog biting Lu Dongbin.
If Zhu Yu and Shiyu caused any changes, it would be their own fault.
I remained silent, and Zhu Yu seemed to have gained the upper hand, first showing a content expression, then asking in a low voice whether Shiyu wanted to go over there.
Shiyu shook her head, indicating that it's better to wait until our Qijia Village affairs are settled and then find out the soul of Shique again.
Zhu Yu nodded, his gaze at me showing even more dissatisfaction.
"Eh oh oh."
Lao Gong raised his head, looked at Zhu Yu, and kept smacking his mouth repeatedly.
The sound of Baoda is very loud, as if implying something.
I ignored Lao Gong.
At this time, the leader also looked at me, asking if I wanted to rest for a moment here, and discuss it briefly?
I shook my head and said it was not necessary. I was about to continue leading the way, heading towards the direction of the village tail.
I didn't expect, the old woman at the courtyard door on the side, was slowly walking towards us this way.
Heartbeat, fell half a beat.
The old woman's gaze was fixed on me.
"That's it..."
The sneer on Lao Gong's face turned into unease.
I also broke out into a light sweat on my forehead.
Just, as the old woman came over, I can't leave.
As she approached, besides me, Zhu Yu did not retreat. The others, including the leader, retreated two steps slightly.
Zhu Yu still looked down on the old woman as a Ghost with a White Heart, while I... lacked a bit of confidence in my heart.
"Child, you've come again." The hoarse, old voice carries a sense of emptiness and disappointment.
"Grandma."
I bowed my head, showing respect.
"Several decades have passed, hehe, always unable to help, people lost their mothers, may have forgotten their mothers long ago, the old woman lived alone for too long, always fanciful. "
The old woman's voice became hoarse and broke.
My face changed slightly, and I looked up at the old woman again.
Her eyes slightly red, the beginning of tears.
The people around me are from the lowest rung of society, with a relatively high status, so they can see some things.
I heard Zhi people horse tower whisper to He Xianliang, we need to stop her quickly!
I immediately raised my hand and made a stop gesture.
Taking a deep breath, I heavily exhaled the stale air, then said solemnly, "Grandma, it's not that I won't help, but there's no time. The young man is burdened with trivial matters. I remember, when I come in next time, I will definitely bring him along. If I can't bring him myself, I will definitely bring his message!"
The old woman's eyes, which had turned red, turned white and her expression returned to stunned.
"Thank you." The old woman bowed slightly.
After that, the old woman leaned in close to my ear and whispered a few words.
Ghosts said, it can be considered ghost talk.
Generally speaking, if ghosts do not want others to hear their words, then others will not be able to hear them.
The old woman's words sent a shiver down my spine.
She was advising me, there are two new ghosts in Qijia Village recently. One of them is a ghost who followed me in. His head is flying everywhere, no one can do anything to him.
The other ghost is a disfigured infant spirit, howling for its mother.
In addition, the hungry ghosts wandering during the hours of zi and chou are becoming even hungrier.
However, they are not daring to approach Tianxi Mountain.
There is a bitter-fated person there, who seems to have awakened.
After the old woman finished speaking, she slowly retreated.
She returned to the courtyard of her home.
The others looked at me with different expressions.
This time, even Zhu Yu showed no contempt.
"What did she say?" The first to ask me was Ma Lou.
"Nothing." I answered calmly.
Following the leader's gaze and signal, I took a step forward, heading towards the direction of the end of Qijia Village.
During this period, the leader looked at the others and they dared not say anything.
I understand the leader's intention.
The danger here speaks for itself.
As long as the leader is safe, it's enough.
He will definitely get close to me when it's crucial.
During the walk, I checked my phone, and it's actually 10:30 AM right now, more than twelve hours before the hungry ghosts begin to wander at midnight.
Qijia Village is not big, after about ten minutes and passing through two rows of bamboo trees, we have arrived at the end of the village.
A wide open field stretched ahead, leading to a mountain at the front.
The mountain resembles an inkstone, small but imbued with a sense of weightiness.
There is a grave at the foot of the mountain.
The solitary mound is covered with a variety of graveyard grasses, such as needle grass, cowhide grass, and white flower ghost needles.
The mountain seems like a large grave, and beneath the large grave, there are smaller graves.
