Raising ghosts is risky

"Master, your house is not bad!" Xing Zhan's smile is so contagious that people will laugh after seeing it.

The old man sized him up for a while: "Isn't he a local?"

"Well, come to play!"

The old man was hospitable, opened the door and said, "Come in and have a seat?"

"Good!" Xing Zhan bowed his lower body and walked into the thatched cottage.

Although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, the layout of the thatched cottage is simple, but all kinds of furniture are available. There are a lot of carpenter's work piled up in the corners of the ground, which seems to be the old man's livelihood. Although the style is ordinary, it is durable and the workmanship is quite good.

The old man called himself surnamed Lin, and he had a pair of rough hands, which were naturally half-clenched when they were empty, and the dry skin was firm and strong with bulging veins.I don't know if it was because of He Wenbin's influence, when Xing Zhan looked at his hands, he would think of wolf claws.

Xing Zhan said casually: "Uncle Lin, how old are you this year?"

Old man Lin gave him a glass of water, even the glass was made of wood, he chuckled, "I'm almost eighty."

Isn't it more than 300 years old?Xing Zhan complained in his heart, and exclaimed, "You live a long life!"

80 years old may not be a big deal in the city, but it is not easy in such a backward area. Mother He looks 40 years old in her 70s, but old man Lin looks 80 years old in her 60s.However, those who are more than 300 years old are probably still rumored by the villagers.

"You live here alone? I walked all the way, but I didn't see any other house."

"I like to be clean, and I don't like to be with people."

"You built this house yourself, didn't you?"

"Build and live by yourself, be free!" The old man's eyes were piercing, not like an old man at all.

Xing Zhan led the topic without any trace: "I heard that there are wolves in the mountains, aren't you afraid?"

Old man Lin chuckled, "I've lived here all my life, and I've never seen a wolf. It's all to scare children."

Huh?It seems to be different from what you said! "I've also heard people tell stories. It's so mysterious. They say there are goblins?"

"Haha, is that a wolf demon? I often tell children stories about wolf demons!" The old man laughed heartily.

Xing Zhan looked out of the window and found that old man Lin's thatched cottage was ingeniously located. From the outside, it looked like it was hidden in the woods, but from the inside, it happened to overlook the highest mountain in the area. The unique beauty was reflected in the On the window, it looks like a landscape painting.

"Uncle Lin, which way is the best way to go up the mountain?" Xing Zhan pointed to the distant mountain.

Old man Lin's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, and his smile disappeared like smoke: "You want to go up the mountain?"

Xing Zhan looked like he was on a whim: "I've come all the time, I have to go through it all over again, otherwise it would be a pity."

Old man Lin said solemnly: "You can't go to that mountain!"

"Hey? Why, didn't you say that there are no wolves in the mountains?"

Old man Lin had a sullen face, his previous enthusiasm had completely dissipated, and he showed great dissatisfaction with Xing Zhan's words.

Originally, Xing Zhan just wanted to look around to relax, and help Gong Mu find a quiet place to practice, and the more places no one has been to, the more conquering it is, the more Xing Zhan wants to visit.

But old man Lin said "I can't go", which made him very curious.

After a long time, old man Lin laughed again: "There are no wolves in the mountains, but there are ghosts."

Xing Zhan opened his mouth wide. Others thought he was afraid, but he was actually saying in his heart: Fuck, I’m surrounded by ghosts, and I still have one in my pocket.

After coming out of the thatched hut, Xing Zhan and Gong Mu looked at each other.The eyes of the two met, and they understood each other.

going?

go with!

If it is a joke to tell Xing Zhan that there are ghosts, then telling Gong Mu that there are ghosts is tantamount to saying that a big meal has been prepared for you.It must be a ghost that blocks the mountain road and prevents people from going up the mountain. The ghost is a great complement to Gong Mu. It is really good to kill a few ghosts while going out to practice.

The two headed towards the main peak, but they didn't notice that there was a black shadow behind them that went into the forest first.

There is no way up the mountain, and there are almost no traces of people. Xing Zhan explored a way up from the dense forest.Fortunately, the mountain is relatively gentle, so it is not particularly difficult to walk.

Although there were bumps and bumps, it was basically smooth, and Xing Zhan went up to the position close to the top of the mountain.

But they encountered nothing, neither wolves nor ghosts.Looking around, the scenery is still picturesque and the climate is pleasant.

"It's boring." Xing Zhan said regretfully, it is rare to find a way to go to hell like Xing Zhan. , Gong Mu was also a little disappointed, he floated out and turned around, but still found nothing.

"Are we going to come at night?" Xing Zhan said, "If I want to climb again at night, I'm not interested."

"Naturally, the yin energy is abundant at night, and the power of the ghosts will be stronger, but the spiritual power they left behind will not disappear completely. The crux of the problem now is that I don't feel any aura of their activities."

"That means the old man is lying? Just like he lied to He Wenbin that there is a wolf demon in the mountain, is he lying to me?"

Gong Mu couldn't be sure either, after all, it's not uncommon for people to distort and exaggerate things that are too mysterious.

"Forget it, just treat it as a waste of time for me to exercise, and go back."

Xing Zhan came back on his way back, and when he waded through a rushing stream, he suddenly saw a corner of the eaves appearing among the trees.

This is the first time I have seen artificial traces after wandering around the mountain for so long.

"There seems to be something over there, let's go and have a look." Xing Zhan rekindled his passion and quickened his pace towards the eaves.

Sure enough, behind an old tree surrounded by several people, they found a ruined temple.

The temple is very small, just big enough to hold a statue of a god as tall as an adult, who is incensed by passers-by.

But this ruined temple is indeed a ruined temple. It is empty and there are no statues inside, and it seems that it has not been built at all. The main body of the building is almost destroyed. decades of history.

Not to mention, there are even traces of blasting in the temple. It looks like it was half built, but I didn't want to build it anymore, so I destroyed it again, but for some reason it wasn't completely demolished, just took gunpowder and put it away in a hurry. It exploded.

"It's really strange." Xing Zhan said.But he was curious and not very interested. After all, returning was the most important thing.

They checked around again, but found no other clues, so the two stopped investigating further and continued down the mountain.

"This temple is probably used to worship the mountain god, right? It must have been half built and ran out of money, so I threw it away." Xing Zhan guessed.

After returning in vain, both of them felt a little regretful, chatting with each other.

When Xing Zhan touched the stone again, crossed a stream, and climbed to the opposite bank, his expression changed, and he looked back: "Did we walk this road just now?"

Gong Mu's face was gloomy, and they walked for a while, and they saw the ruined temple again.

Xing Zhan was a little more cautious this time, leaving a mark every time he passed a section of the road and correcting his direction, but he didn't expect that after a while, a rushing stream appeared in front of him.

"Tsk tsk, have we lost our way, or have we hit a wall?" Xing Zhan crossed his arms and said.

They dare to walk in unfamiliar mountains because they are not afraid of getting lost.First of all, Xing Zhan has done relevant training and has a strong ability to move in the wild. Secondly, if he loses his way, it is good for Gong Mu to fly to the sky to see the direction. If it is not good...

"You call the Lord of the Land and ask him." Xing Zhan said.

A red talisman shot out from Gong Mu's hand and sank into the ground.Based on Xing Zhan's past experience of watching Gong Mu summon the land, usually at this time there will be green smoke, and the land lord in a suit will come out.

But this time, the two waited for a long time, but there was no response.

"What's going on? The land in this place is not at your command?" Xing Zhan was puzzled.

"Impossible, the Lord of the Earth must respond to the call of the gods from all walks of life, otherwise it will be a felony." Gong Mu looked serious, "There must be something wrong!"

Gong Mu lifted his robe and squatted down, covering the ground with his palms, a faint red light shot out from his palms.

"How?" Xing Zhan asked.

"It's very strange." Gong Mu frowned in confusion, "There is indeed a force that trapped us on this mountain, but I didn't feel any malice, and..."

They walked into a magic circle that bound the ground and locked their feet, and they couldn't get out unless the circle was broken.The formations have emotions just like people, majestic and cautious guards, angry and dangerous killing formations, charming and enchanting mazes, but this formation does not have a vicious aura. What to do, like a urchin's prank.

What's even more strange is that the aura in the formation somehow feels familiar, very similar to his own power, and even has the illusion of trapping himself in the formation.

"It's nothing, it's just a trick." After finding out the situation, Gong Mu relaxed and stood up calmly.

"Ah, then there will be Lord Lao Xingjun!" Xing Zhan was excited, Lord Xingjun shouted more and more smoothly, and even clasped his fists at him sourly.

Knowing that Xing Zhan was playing around, Gong Mu still couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips, but then he suppressed it forcefully, and ordered with a straight face, "Stay back so that I can cast spells."

When Xing Zhan retreated ten steps away, Gong Mu pinched the magic formula with his hand, a layer of sunlight shrouded him, and the sunlight shone like a glass crystal.

The spiritual power of the world poured into him like a spring, as if he was the master of this piece of heaven and earth, and everything in the world must obey his guidance.

When the energy gathered to a certain level, the red light was released suddenly, going up to heaven and earth in all directions, every place was dyed with Gong Mu's red light.

The light was dazzling, and Xing Zhan covered his eyes. After the light dissipated, even Xing Zhan felt the pressure on his body lighten.

"Solve it." Gong Mu beckoned to Xing Zhan, "You can go."

Xing Zhan took a few steps and found that Gong Mu was staring at him.He touched his face, but didn't touch anything like leaves: "What are you looking at me for?"

The corners of Gong Mu's eyes were raised slightly, showing his flair: "Call again, Lord Xingjun."

Xing Zhan found himself being molested, and what was more serious was being molested by a ghost: "Call me as soon as you ask me? Isn't that too embarrassing? Why don't you call me Mr. Xing Zhan?"

"Master Xing Zhan." Gong Mu followed the example of goodness.

This time Xing Zhan was embarrassed, so he quickened his pace and pretended not to hear.

Gong Mu floated behind him, and pressed against his ear: "Hey, you don't believe what you say, I've already called you, why don't you call me?"

The cold air was blowing in the ears, scratching people itchingly, but Xing Zhan turned a deaf ear.

"Master Xing Zhan, Lord Xing Zhan, please listen to Lord Xingjun!" Gong Mu was reluctant, with an undisguised smile in the corner of his eyes.

After passing the ruined temple again, Xing Zhan turned his head and found that the ruined temple had been hidden in the forest and could no longer be seen. For no reason, he thought of old man Lin's thatched cottage again.

After they walked away, a white figure came out from the ruined temple, stood on the stone and looked up at the two people's backs.His eyes are clear and agile, and his white clothes are as pure as snow.

Another cyan figure followed, calm and steady: "What are you looking at when you run out in a panic? Be careful not to be seen."

Bai Yi turned around, Junxiu's face was full of surprises: "It's them! We finally got them!"
