apprentice earth god

The small gourd in Du Jiaoyang's hand was obtained by him from a special place. The small gourd looks unremarkable, but it is actually not simple.

If it weren't for special circumstances, it would have taken a lot of effort for Du Jiaoyang to apply for him.

The sword ghosts caught so far are all related to the unknown sword ghost that suddenly appeared.

The venom he spewed triggered a series of sword labor ghosts.

According to Du Jiaoyang's analysis of the captured Dao Laogui, he found that, as first speculated, they were connected to each other because of mutual 'infection'.

The small gourd can collect remnants of souls. Du Jiaoyang used the small gourd to extract those 'connections' from the connections in the remnants of souls, and then used the previous method to lock the first Dao Laogui that appeared.

Compared with the previous operation, this time is obviously more difficult, and the direction is not so clear.

Du Jiaoyang ran in the woods for most of the day, often turning around a place several times, but there was no sign of the other party.

"It seems impossible to find it on a sunny day."

Du Jiaoyang looked at the weather forecast. There has been no rain in this area for the past two days. The latest rain will take a week.

There is not much time for the special department from above. If you spend too much time here, it means that other places have no time to take care of it.

Du Jiaoyang called Pang Gu: "I need a rain, do you think artificial rainfall can be achieved here?"

Dao Laogui only appears in rainy weather, and the target will be more clear when it rains.

The strength of the special department did not disappoint Du Jiaoyang. In the evening, there was a heavy rain in the forest.

"There is a door!"

Du Jiaoyang saw that the black line in his hand became clear, and it was difficult to determine the direction without shaking it left and right. He didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly braved the rain to find the original knife Laogui.

"Roar--"

There was a chilling ghost screaming from the forest, which was even more ghostly than the Dao Lao ghost Du Jiaoyang had encountered before.

It can be heard from the sound that this Dao Laogui is obviously more powerful than the previous ones, and has been a ghost for a longer time.

Its sound can confuse people. If it was an ordinary person, they would have been frightened and stood motionless by now.

This is not timidity, but deterrence from the bottom of my heart.

Du Jiaoyang followed the sound, and soon saw a dark green Dao Laogui hiding in the rainstorm.

If it weren't for Du Jiaoyang's good eyesight and experience, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see him.

This Dao Laogui's color is darker and its face is more ferocious, it is hard to see what it looked like before it was born.

He had sharp fangs, his mouth was open and saliva was dripping, and his eyes were red.

His reaction was obviously sharper than that of Dao Laogui before. When Du Jiaoyang was more than ten meters away from him, he sprayed poisonous gas at Du Jiaoyang.

The poisonous gas became more ferocious, and the trees where it passed were quickly corroded.

Du Jiaoyang quickly pulled out the umbrella behind his back and opened it to block the poisonous gas. With the other hand, he pulled out the cord of his mobile phone and swung it into the air, turning it into a meteor hammer, and threw it at the knife ghost.

Dao Laogui dodged to the side, dodging Du Jiaoyang's attack.

"It is indeed the source, but it has some skills."

Du Jiaoyang quickly retracted the meteor hammer, and while dodging Dao Laogui's poisonous gas attack, he ran towards it. When he was five meters away from Dao Laogui and the umbrella in his hand was corroded to the point where only the skeleton remained, he threw the umbrella away. Throw the meteor hammer at him.

Dao Laogui repeated his old trick and continued to dodge, but just as he moved to the side, the bone chain in Du Jiaoyang's other hand flew towards him, binding him tightly.

"It can be regarded as capturing you."

Du Jiaoyang withdrew the meteor hammer, and gave Dao Laogui a strong blow to prevent the opponent from attacking again.

Just when he was about to send out a signal to let the people from the special office come over to deal with the aftermath, Du Jiaoyang felt a chill down his spine.

He instinctively dodged to the side, but was still stabbed by the poisonous gas.

"Hiss—" Du Jiaoyang gasped, and quickly threw the meteor hammer out, hitting the sneak attacking Dao Laogui.

This Dao Laogui is purple-red, and the color is darker than what I have seen before.

Not only that, but even more elusive.

She appeared nearby, but Du Jiaoyang didn't notice it at all.

Moreover, it is obvious that the poison spraying area is larger, and the other Dao Lao ghosts are fan-shaped in front of them, so it is easier to dodge. Her poison gas directly covered this area.

If Du Jiaoyang hadn't protected himself and reacted quickly, his whole body would probably be swollen, not just his back.

"It's really a male and a female."

Du Jiaoyang felt that his back was swollen, his whole body thickened, and he gritted his teeth to signal.

Although it looked a bit scary, and the wound was indeed very painful, Du Jiaoyang knew that the poison could not harm his life.

Among them is the relationship between him being a demigod, and the reason why he has been practicing more recently.

Du Jiaoyang hesitated for a moment, and finally called Chong Li.

The phone rang three times, and Du Jiaoyang heard a familiar ringtone coming from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar face.

Looking at his deformed back, Chong Li couldn't help frowning.

"Idiot, to be hurt by such a brat."

While complaining, he quickly detoxified Du Jiaoyang.

"Thank you." Du Jiaoyang smiled, "It's really just like what you said, it's a male and a female."

"Hmph, what I said could be false."

"Then it seems that we have to continue searching the mountains. There may be other Dao Laoguis, but I don't know if we can find clues from these two Dao Laoguis."

Du Jiaoyang pursed his lips. If there were other sword laborers, it might not be so easy.

Moreover, it is obvious that these 'old' knife labor ghosts are much more powerful than those who were later infected, and he cannot simply judge from his previous experience.

"Where do these guys come from?" Du Jiaoyang couldn't help asking again.

According to the investigation of the special department, no similar incident had occurred before.

In the past, because of the mine, it was much more lively than it is now, but no one has encountered such a thing.

Now there are fewer people, and the state stipulates that it is not allowed to cut down trees and catch wild animals. Because of the disaster in the early years, there are not many wild animals here, so not many people enter the mountain, but they bump into it instead.

It can be seen from this that it is more likely that these two sword labor ghosts came from other places.

Soon, Du Jiaoyang got the answer.

The people from the Special Office came to take care of the aftermath, uploaded the information of the two sword labor ghosts, and quickly matched the identities of the two before death.

"Are they from Fangshan?"

Du Jiaoyang was surprised, this place is not close to Fangshan, even if it takes two hours by car.

"Yes, they are a couple. They died 50 years ago and were buried in Fangshan. At that time, it hadn't developed into a forest reserve, and some villagers would bury their dead in the mountains. "

Du Jiaoyang sighed: "The special part is really powerful. People who died 50 years ago can be found out, and the speed is so fast."

"This is because about two weeks ago, someone called the police in Fangshan, saying that their own grave had been dug. Two Dao Lao Gui is that couple."

"I see." Du Jiaoyang nodded, "When did their family members find out that there was something wrong with the tomb?"

"It's not easy to enter the mountain now, so it's rare for them to go once. This time, their grandson dreamed that his grandparents turned into lonely ghosts because no one visited the tomb, and would endanger the fortune of their descendants. I went back to sweep the grave, only to find that the grave had already been dug.”

"We found out about the police who took the case at the time. He went to the scene at that time. It seems that he should not have been away for a long time. The soil is still relatively new."

Du Jiaoyang asked: "During this period of time from Fangshan to here, has there been any similar cases?"

"We haven't found it yet. We have checked the death records of the whole province, and there is no patient who died of such an emergency. Other places are also investigating, and we have not received relevant feedback for the time being."

"We also saw someone posting on the forum that on the 15th, that is, 20 days ago, during the rainstorm, two ghosts were spotted flying past the highway, and according to the description, they looked like these two ghosts with knives. "

Du Jiaoyang was puzzled. According to the current performance of the knife labor ghosts, as long as they encountered humans, their attack power would be very strong.

If what the poster said is true, what kept them from being attacked?

"Any other similar cases?"

"At the moment, there are no such ghosts. The only ones that can be confirmed are still these two. There have been no similar cases in Fangshan or other places. We also went to Linchuan to investigate, and it was said that there had been no Dao Lao ghosts for hundreds of years. Ghost."

It is precisely because of this that everyone did not react when they saw such obvious features at first.

Because everyone has never seen it, many people thought it was just a legend.

Even in history, there are not many knife labor ghosts, probably because they are too destructive, so they are not common.

Sword labor ghosts generally arise because of major events in the local area, which mutated the deceased.

As long as the knife labor ghost comes out, the place will definitely not be peaceful, and wars, plagues, or natural disasters will follow.

Du Jiaoyang hung up the phone, full of doubts:

"The couple have been dead for so many years, logically there are only bones left."

Dao Laogui is more like a zombie, a mutation on the original basis.

Fangshan is humid and rainy, and there are no conditions for the formation of mummy.

The couple were just ordinary people, and they were buried in a very common way, and there was nothing special about it.

The most special thing is that their descendants at that time spent a lot of effort to bury them deep in the mountains, and other people generally wouldn't go in that deep.

Before Chong Li could answer, Du Jiaoyang suddenly thought of something.

"I remember my dad said before that there are strange things in the depths of Fangshan, and even he can't go in! This couple will not just be buried there."

Du Jiaoyang quickly took out his mobile phone, "I have to ask my dad if it's where he said before."

Chong Li stretched out his hand to stop him: "Are you stupid? Your father said that even he couldn't enter. How can ordinary people go in to sweep the grave?"

"It is."

But after a while, Du Jiaoyang felt that something was wrong.

"No, usually you won't stop me."

Chong Li's eyes flickered, but disappeared in an instant.

"I just can't stand your stupidity."

Du Jiaoyang looked him up and down suspiciously, Chong Li couldn't help but look at him like this, and snorted coldly:

"Didn't you say that you don't want to talk to your parents these days?"

This strange feeling is heavier.

Du Jiaoyang squinted his eyes, but still picked up the phone to call his father.

Chong Li's expression moved slightly, although it was not obvious, but it was enough for Du Jiaoyang, who had been with him day and night, to find something tricky.

The call was made, but it didn't go through.

Although this was normal, Du Jiaoyang still felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart.

In fact, when he was about to go home and was declined politely, Du Jiaoyang quickly felt something was wrong.

His mother had never been such an unreliable person, and her reasons were far-fetched.

It's just that I was caught up in the matter here, so I put it aside for the time being.

Du Jiaoyang called Qi Xiumei again, but the call was still not connected.

Qi Xiumei is different from Du Quanfu. Because of her previous work, she is always on call 24 hours a day.

Even after retiring, this habit has not changed, and within a short period of time, she has become an enthusiastic elder sister in the new place.

Everyone loves to look for her for everything, even knowing that they live in a terrible house, they are not unfamiliar with it, and even have the courage to visit their house.

Du Jiaoyang called several times, but there was still no response.

He thought about it, and was about to call Qi Xiumei's former colleague, but was stopped by Chong Li.

Du Jiaoyang looked at him with a serious face: "What happened?"

Chong Li was silent.

"We're going to Bridgetown now."

"Wait." Chong Li stopped him with a rare expression of hesitation.

"What happened? Why did you keep it from me?" Du Jiaoyang was very anxious.

"There has been a change in Fangshan."

Du Jiaoyang frowned: "What change? Is it what my dad said earlier?"

"Yes." Chong Li didn't hide anymore, "We will settle this matter, you stay here and see if there are any other ghosts."

"you?"

Chong Li smiled: "If you are not free, let me take your place."

Du Jiaoyang looked at him for a few seconds, then shook his head: "It's not that simple."

Chong Li wanted to take action, his mother deliberately told him not to come back, Du Jiaoyang felt that something must have happened.

He has been in the industry for some time and is no longer a newcomer.

Moreover, under Chong Li's teaching and accumulation of experience, his ability can be said to be no worse than his father's, but he is only short of the title of a real god.

If it wasn't a very difficult matter, his father would not be so repulsive of his participation.

"Stay here, I'll go and have a look."

Chong Li directly refused: "This is not a human matter, nor is it related to ghosts. It is better for me and your father to handle it."

Du Jiaoyang only said: "He is my father."

Chong Li sighed, not surprised by such a result, so he stopped persuading.

"Didn't I tell you to stay here? What if there are sword labor ghosts?"

Du Jiaoyang saw that Chong Li was also on the driveway, his father's side was important, and he couldn't be negligent here.

"It's safe here."

Seeing that he was so sure, Du Jiaoyang stopped doubting and drove home directly.

What originally took two hours by car turned into an hour and a half.

When he got home, Du Jiaoyang found that the room was deserted, completely different from when he came back before.

Moreover, there was a creepy gloom, and there was still a lot of dust in the house. It was obvious that no one had lived here for a while.

"What's going on, I just made a video call with my mother two days ago, why has this place become so deserted?"

Du Jiaoyang walked into the kitchen, checked the cabinets and the refrigerator, and found that they were empty.

Du Jiaoyang's heart skipped a beat, Qi Xiumei likes to hoard things the most, every time the house is full.

You Qi knows that he will come back, and he will make preparations in advance. Every time he leaves, he will take a lot of things with him.

All this can only show that his parents have not been at home for a long time, otherwise it would not be like this.

Why did his parents lie to him?

Moreover, it is normal for his father to disappear. Although his mother is not an ordinary human being, after all, such a long life span is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But she is not a god, not even a demigod, so she never got involved in Du Quanfu's affairs, so why did she disappear?

"Do you know where my parents have gone?" Du Jiaoyang's heart was pounding, feeling that many things had happened.

Chong Li said: "They are in Fangshan."

"Why is my mother there?" Du Jiaoyang was puzzled.

Even if she was worried about her husband, she didn't know anything, and going in would only add to the chaos.

"She has become a god now."

Du Jiaoyang stared: "When did this happen?! Why don't I know!"

"She is married to your father, and has been together for so many years, and she has been accumulating virtue and benefiting her. She has long been a landlady who can stand side by side with your father, but her time has not yet come."

Du Jiaoyang only thought it was unbelievable, not that it was such a strange thing for his mother to become a fairy, in his opinion, it was a matter of course.

It's just such a big thing that no one told him!

Although Du Jiaoyang has been independent since he was a child, he left the house very early to wander outside.

But he has a very good relationship with his parents, especially with Qi Xiumei, not only mother and son, but also friends who talk about everything.

In the end, it was too unreasonable for him to know about such a big thing from other people's mouths.

Even though I know now is not the time to worry about these things, I still feel a little hurt.

"But why didn't she tell me? When did this happen?"

Chong Li didn't answer, but Du Jiaoyang himself recalled something.

"It won't be when my mother retires and is going to settle down in Fangshan, right?"

In the past, he didn't notice or feel it, but now that Du Jiaoyang thinks back, he finds that there are many flaws.

It's just that he had a fixed mindset at the time, thinking that his parents would not hide any major events at home from him.

And when I first joined the industry at that time, I was in a daze and couldn't tell the difference very well.

Now it seems that it should be at that time.

"My parents came here, the main task is actually to guard Fangshan?"

"There is a change here, your father should have felt it very early."

Du Jiaoyang suddenly realized: "No wonder he was so anxious to let me take up the job. He obviously didn't reveal anything before, and he obviously never thought of asking me to inherit his father's career."

It all made sense, before he felt that his father's decision was too hasty.

Even if you have a demigod physique and progress quickly, you can't just accept such a big piece of land.

Without the help of the great god, he might still be groping around at the entry level and unable to find a way.

Or, in fact, his father had already expected it a long time ago, maybe he didn't know that there would be a big man like a master to help, but it's not a problem to test his luck.

"What secret is Fangshan hiding? My parents want to keep it from me?"
