It's not illegal

Du Ling and the others will go out to wander around the mountain ahead of time this time. Apart from purchasing some alchemy materials, they also want to see for themselves whether the situation outside has changed.

Although the Lingtian faction has connected to the Internet in the village, and Wang Huhu and others are inside the Monster Management Bureau as informants, Du Ling dare not trust what the monsters say one hundred percent. After all, everyone's initial starting point is different. Peaceful, but the objects to be protected are different after all.

Although he doesn't want to rise to the level where people who are not of our race must have a different heart, Du Ling still feels that the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, not to mention that the atmosphere in the circle of demon friends is weird recently. Although he is still joking on the surface, he is I feel that these goblins are guarding against me.

In other words, guard against the person behind him, Xiutian Emperor Xiao Li.

Obviously before, he still wanted to win over the lord of the heaven, but now he quietly hints that he should not be too close to others... There is a Bird Master who is more human-like than Xiao Li, and he suddenly becomes suspicious, so he wants to marry him. See for yourself if it's really like those monsters and the singing and dancing that the news said.

This is the real reason why Du Ling insisted on picking up small places to drill. Even if something happened in those big cities, they would be quickly suppressed by the powerful Demon Control Bureau. I didn't find any news on the Internet, but it didn't mean that nothing happened. It happened, but even if I personally inspected it, I guess it didn't help if there was no luck against the weather.

But it's different in this kind of backcountry where the news is stagnant. Not to mention the slow response of the public power, people are more likely to believe in ghosts and ghosts. I can hear the corners of the truth touched by a scale and a half claw.

Before departure, Du Ling proudly gave 32 likes for his meticulous logic, but the only problem was that they didn't encounter any monsters at all during their trip, let alone major events!

There are many spirits and monsters in the mountain! ?

It's simply unscientific that there isn't even a single one who has become a master!

It made him seem like the suspicious neighbor who suspected someone of stealing the axe, with a villainous heart, dignified human beings are not as generous as animals, what a sosad.

In the end, it was Xiao Li who pierced through the fog that shrouded Du Ling's eyes.

"Not in itself is a doubtful point." Saying so, Xiao Li unfolded the travel atlas, and his slender fingers slid across the villages he had visited along the mountain, signaling Du Ling to pay attention to the names of these ancient villages.

The area they chose has been rich in aura since ancient times, and rumors of spirits and monsters have been widely spread. If there are no old demons who have accumulated years of Taoism to occupy the mountain and become king, it can also be said that they yearn for the prosperity of the city and moved away, then use the art of spirit search It's strange that I didn't even meet a little demon who had just opened up my mind after looking for it deliberately. Obviously, even metropolises with thin aura and dirty breath now have a very high percentage of spirits.

It is a well-recognized fact that it is easy to accumulate spiritual things in places with beautiful Zhong Ling, but it takes a once-in-a-hundred-year chance to truly become a spirit without relying on blood or touch. There are no goblins nearby, and it should be a normal phenomenon that there are no goblins in the beautiful scenery along the way.

On the contrary, it was the hordes of spirits and monsters in the city they lived in before, which was extremely abnormal.

"Any abnormality must be a demon!" After receiving the reminder, Du Ling, who had figured it out instantly, connected his eyes, feeling suddenly enlightened: "If it's not abnormal in the mountains, then it is abnormal in the city. If there is a contradiction, there must be a problem. , anyway, we can always get some useful conclusions if we continue to investigate!"

Just like this, I feel like I have caught the little tail of that big flicker of the Demon Management Bureau, and I can slap him in the face~ Du Ling, who feels that he has an assistant Xiao Sheng and can also be a famous detective, thought happily, and quickly cheered up.

Isn't it true or falsified? There is always something useful.

Didn't we meet this time?

Although the focus of the two people's travels around the east and west is more and more focused on the honeymoon, but the hard work pays off (...), so they saw a recently matured woman in a restaurant in this small town at the foot of the mountain. The local dog who didn't realize that he had a problem didn't say anything, and even bought one get one free with a message that he was suspected of being haunted by a monster.

Although the proprietress was secretive and secretive at first, when it came to the end, she saw two beautiful boys from outside who were willing to be the audience, and she didn't laugh at them. It was nonsense for the country folks, and all the aunts and aunts gathered around to talk , Du Ling half-understood your strong local accent, and his face almost froze with laughter, before he summed up some useful clues:

First of all, the so-called monster harms people. No one has witnessed what kind of monster it is. It's just that the foundation of a three-story villa built by a certain upstart in the town collapsed overnight, and all the people who were gambling there at that time were smashed in.When they were dug out, all of them had their arms and legs broken miserably. Among them, the head of the household and his concubine simply bled to death from all seven orifices.

The second is that this family seems to have made their fortunes by doing some shady business, and they often go to the mountains to "batch goods" mysteriously. Neighbors shared, and they were not good-natured, and they ate, drank, prostituted, and gambled. No one sympathized with this accident.

Of course, the gossip townspeople who think they are kind and honest are unwilling to admit that they are gloating, so they pull out the third and most important piece of information: the accident in this family is related to his business, and it is retribution. The evidence is The few mountain folk who came from the same village as him and had close contact with each other have been terrified these past two days, so they almost wrote the word "guilty" on their foreheads.

After finishing these details, the middle-aged and elderly women's soldiers also attached their conclusions: This group of people must be local rats, who made a lot of money, and now they are haunted by evil spirits!

The mountain man who got rich - the mysterious business that can't be seen - will disappear for a while - the strange way of killing the whole family... I think it sounds like the end of a tomb robber ? !

In an instant, Du Ling's whole body was stiff, there were all the monsters, could the ghosts be far behind?The problem is, although he doesn't mind being reborn as a fairy, he is still afraid of ghosts!

"Still...do you still want to go over there to investigate?" Du Ling swallowed his saliva and boldly asked first.

When he walked out of the restaurant, the sky was already getting dark, and the last few rays left by the sun set rendered the old and dilapidated streets into a dark red color, which did not make him feel any warmth, but instead reminded him of the four characters of the time of encountering the devil, so he fought again a cold war.

——Don’t be cowardly!

She has already slipped her hand and turned into a tender baby face, and she must never do anything to make her manly and majestic!

Even though he just thought that it might be a haunted house with dead people, Du Ling still had to grit his teeth and say that he was a warrior. The smart ones quickly deny their brave and foolish applications, and act after making a decision.

However, he and Xiao Li probably really urgently need the ability to have a bright heart and a sympathetic heart. His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor seemed to have completely ignored the cry in his heart, and nodded solemnly in agreement: "It's not too late."

The earlier the time, the more likely it is to grasp the truth that has not been completely eliminated, so he turned around directly and walked in the direction of the haunted house in the town where the proprietress gestured.

As for what Du Ling is afraid of...

Is he really a walk-and-go activist?

Don't you understand my subtext is actually a refusal! !

Du Ling, who was trying to save himself, was dumbfounded on the spot, saying that he couldn't move his legs to keep up.

Until Xiao Li realized that he hadn't followed, he turned back, stretched out his hand to take his hand, and held those fingertips that were so frighteningly cold in his warm palm.

"No ghosts."

"...huh?" Du Ling, who didn't realize for a moment that he was comforting himself, blinked stupidly.

"There are no ghosts. Ordinary yin energy will dissipate when it is illuminated by the real fire of the sun. After death, the consciousness of mortals dissipates and returns to heaven and earth. The theory of resentful spirits and ghosts is just a fabrication." Xiao Li explained very simply, directly referring to Du Ling's Childhood shadows join the ranks of nonsense.

To put it bluntly, if you don't have great Taoism, even ghosts can't do it.

Cultivators are afraid and should be afraid of old ghosts who can seize the house, but the random thoughts that pop up in Du Ling's mind from time to time are also quite cute in Xiao Li's eyes, so they occasionally want to appreciate them silently - of course this is not possible. Tell the truth directly, otherwise the lover will definitely fall out.

At this time, shouldn't it be said that no matter what ghosts and monsters are there, they will never let them hurt you?Why do you start a small popular science class called 'There Are No Ghosts in the World'?

Du Ling wanted to complain a little, but he still cared about his precarious self-esteem.

"Who, who said I'm afraid of ghosts!" The dead parrot's beak was harder than a duck's, "I just think we should make a careful plan not to act so recklessly—but if we go, we will go, and we will be afraid of others. "

Hehe pretending to be serious is not just trying to scare people and then hold hands with me, naive little girl tricks, satisfy you!

Du Ling turned against the guest and dragged Xiao Li's hand and rushed forward. Now he doesn't dislike the setting sun like blood, which is too frightening, because the thick light can just cover the blush of his cheeks.

Hey, isn't it already autumn? Why is it so hot today?

Although he frightened himself half to death when he was thinking about it, when Du Ling actually saw the so-called haunted house, he didn't feel it at all.

Because it has collapsed so thoroughly that it is no longer visible as a house.

In addition, there are no too strict rules in the small county town. After the broken bricks and tiles were scraped to save people, the original "villa" could hardly be seen, so it was left in place for the townspeople to watch, without even raising the alarm. The seal prevents outsiders from approaching.

Looking at it makes people want to conjure up a bottle sprayer, find a piece of land to help it draw a circle and fill in the words.

"...What kind of shitty tofu dregs project is this?" Can this still be called a haunted house?It can only be called a ruin!The promised ghost shadow is blowing heavily against the wind, and the pants are all taken off—no, it’s because Xiao Lizi has lost face by holding her hands, and finally showed me this? !

Du Ling felt very dissatisfied, but his mind became more flexible than ever: "This must not be a ghost causing trouble. I have only heard of ghosts taking their lives, but I have never heard of Zongzi demolishing houses." After finishing speaking, he shook off Xiao Li. hand, rushed over in three steps and two steps and squatted down to study.

Xiao Li, who was used and thrown away, lowered his head expressionlessly, rubbed his fingers to feel the remaining warmth in his palm, sighed lightly and walked over to check the situation.

That's fine, if he continued to hold hands and play with those flexible and delicate fingers, he really couldn't focus on the business.

Seeing Xiao Li also approaching, Du Ling hurriedly shared his research experience to save face: "It seems that the aunt really didn't talk nonsense, the whole house has sunk into the ground."

That's why the ground part looks so dilapidated, because in fact, what is exposed is only the roof and the upper wall that were crushed by their own gravity, coupled with the unprofessional rescue and dismantling, it created this kind of building that seemed to be smashed by a hammer. A rotten scene.

"I'm going to use my spiritual sense to find out exactly what's going on. You can't help me, Xiao Lizi, so just help me notice if there are any passersby passing by." I can only fight first, not as useful as my young master.

Du Ling completely ignored the fact that Xiao Li's spiritual sense was far stronger than his own, and waved him aside to signal not to hinder his actions, and finally felt that he could be proud of pulling back a victory.

It is the most basic method for practitioners to use their spiritual sense to explore places beyond their sight, but it can also be regarded as a very dangerous method. After all, once the spiritual sense is attacked and cannot be shaken off in time, it may even cause irreparable damage to the soul.

So when the cultivation world was prosperous back then, various methods were born that could not only facilitate the use of divine consciousness, but also protect oneself. Now Du Ling is using a clone mirroring method treasured by the Lingtian Sect—the ray of divine consciousness that was separated out for investigation. It is not the master's soul that communicates directly, but the mirror image virtualized by the spell, so that even if the attack is defeated, the damage will not be reflected back to the main body.

To understand Du Ling's idea of ​​Internet-addicted youth, it means that before hackers set out to hack others, they are ready to jump to the broiler in order to avoid being arrested.

The security of this method is top-notch, yes, but the difficulty of operation is definitely much more difficult than kidnapping a few broilers. According to Du Ling's own thinking, he is not willing to go through such trouble. Anyway, now only the monster race who doesn't like to temper their souls is left. In power, where did so many dangerous attacks of consciousness come from?

In the end, Xiao Li, who puts his life safety as the first consideration, has the final say on the matter of which spells he has no choice but to learn.

So Du Ling had no choice but to learn this method of shouting from head to toe, 'I'm timid but I have a lot of vests'. You who can't use your spiritual power at any time should be more careful because you deprived Xiao Li of the authority to use his spiritual consciousness. Not only that, every time Du Ling practiced using this trick, he would take the trouble to remind someone to protect the law, so that the other party I also realize how annoying this superfluous formalism is.

But all this ironic effort is in vain.

His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, who possesses the logic of the gods and the power of a super-boyfriend, can't understand the hidden irony at all. Every time, he stands with a sword and solemnly completes this as a major mission. Now Du Ling has become accustomed to his cautiousness. , if there is no patron saint standing behind him, he will not be able to concentrate on casting spells.

On the contrary, as long as Xiao Li didn't warn, he could concentrate on the information captured by his divine sense without being distracted by other things.

This time is no exception——

As his consciousness penetrated into the ground, Du Ling's expression gradually became strange.

In the underground part of the ruins, he didn't find any traces of talismans or magic spells, and he didn't even feel a strong evil spirit, but the so-called 'villa' with thin walls and crudely built underground has a large strange cavity, which is messy and even useless. Sealed with cement, it looks like an underground warehouse dug without authorization.

Wouldn't it be the legendary joke about digging the basement and collapsing the house because of lack of greed?Du Ling felt that the bgm of "Getting Out of Superstition" had already started to play in his mind.

Are you thinking too much?

It is also to be blamed for bumping into an old dog who has become a spirit and misleading the train of thought. In fact, how can a monster capable of tearing down a house dare to make trouble so blatantly?

Thinking of this, Du Ling began to withdraw the divine consciousness that had been released.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that under the broken load-bearing walls and fragments of the floor, there seemed to be something moving...?
