Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1712 The Compass
Ouyang felt much better after eating the hot instant noodles.Having grown so big, it was the first time that I felt that instant noodles were also a delicacy in the world.

Ye Gufan moved the fire towards the wall and said: "It seems that we can't leave tonight. Ouyang, just lean against the wall and have a rest."

"I... don't dare to sleep." Ouyang glanced at the Buddha statues in the hall.After all, there is an extremely terrifying thing hidden in the cave below.

"Are you afraid of me or ghosts?" Ye Gufan shook his head and smiled, and said: "You can sleep peacefully. I'll draw a few talismans to ensure that no ghosts dare to get close."

With that said, Ye Gufan opened the guitar case again, took out the yellow talisman paper and writing brush, spread them on the guitar case, dipped them in the red liquid, and began to calligraphy and painting.

Ouyang was curious and went over to take a look, only to see that Ye Gufan's calligraphy was very skillful, but he couldn't quite understand what he wrote.

"The sky is round and the earth is round, and there are nine chapters of laws and regulations; I am writing now, and all ghosts are hidden..." Ye Gufan recited it as he wrote it, his pen moved like a dragon and a snake, and he drew four talismans in an instant.

After putting away his pen and ink, Ye Gufan stood up and pasted a talisman on each side of the temple door, and another one on the Buddha statue.The last one was posted on the wall next to the fire.

"Ye Gufan, what kind of talisman is this?" Ouyang asked curiously.

"The one on the Buddha statue is the Maoshan Corpse Suppressing Talisman, and the other three are Maoshan Ghost Expelling Talisman." Ye Gufan pointed and said: "With these few talismans, you can have a safe night, and there won't be anything." Come and disturb us.”

"It's so magical..." Ouyang looked left and right, and the more he looked, the more fresh he became.

Ye Gufan smiled, picked up the sword, turned the hilt, and handed it to Ouyang Chixia.

"What are you doing for me?" Ouyang asked, stunned.

"Take my sword, if I am dishonest at night and want to do something wrong to you, you can chop me with the sword." Ye Gufan said seriously: "In this case, you will not be afraid of people or ghosts, so you can sleep. "

Ouyang covered his mouth and chuckled: "I believe... you are not a bad person."

"Okay, then I'll hold it for self-defense to prevent you from attacking me while I'm sleeping." Ye Gufan chuckled, took back the sword, faced the fire, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

After following the female ghost Tang Miner for several days, Ye Gufan was inevitably a little tired without eating or sleeping well.

Ouyang couldn't sleep, so he sat next to Ye Gufan and said: "...Ye Gufan, can I ask, what time is it now? I threw my phone away and I can't see the time."

"It's probably past ten o'clock." Ye Gufan opened his eyes and looked at the stupid old-fashioned watch on his wrist.

It's probably past ten o'clock. Is Ye Gufan's watch fake?

Ouyang was stunned and leaned forward slightly to look at Ye Gufan's watch.

"This watch is fake." Ye Gufan took off the watch, handed it to Ouyang, and said, "Look at it from the other side. There is a small compass on the back."

Ouyang took it and saw that it was indeed the case.The hands under the case are dead, but on the back is a delicate and simple little compass.

"You're so weird, Ye Gufan, the watch can't tell the time, and there's no guitar in the guitar box..." Ouyang looked at the watch and felt like he had met a monster.

"Who said there is no guitar in my box?" Ye Gufan smiled, took the guitar box and opened it, then opened a hidden compartment and took out a small guitar as big as a palm.

"..." Ouyang was speechless for a moment, and several more black lines flashed across his head.

Ye Gufan was so proud that he strummed the guitar twice, and the tinkling sound of music immediately came from his fingertips, resounding throughout this lonely night.

"The watch can't tell the time, am I right?" Ouyang thought for a while and said.

"Who said you can't tell the time?" Ye Gufan raised a finger on the surface of the compass and said, "You can use a vertical needle to calculate the time based on the sun's shadow, accurate to the minute."

"What should we do at night?"

"You can also look at the angles of certain stars and compass markings at night."

"What about rainy nights? Like now?" Ouyang asked.

"Oh, then we have to be blind. You don't know the time anyway, so you can't verify whether it is correct, right." Ye Gufan chuckled.

Ouyang smiled, this guy is an honest person.

The sound of rain outside the door gradually subsided, and Ye Gufan stood up and said: "I have three urgent needs. I'll go out for a while. I'll be back in five minutes. You... can do it yourself."

"I..." Ouyang's face turned red.

Seeing Ye Gufan walking away, Ouyang turned on the flashlight and walked to the side hall in fear, praying in his heart that the guy in the hole must not jump out at this time.

Ye Gufan walked outside and kept coughing from a distance in order to show his innocence and to embolden Ouyang. After 5 minutes, he walked in with a dry cough.

Ouyang had already come out of the side hall and was sitting by the fire, his face red, bowed and speechless.

"I'm sleeping, Ouyang. Actually, it's okay. You can also take a rest. Staying up late is not good for your beauty." Ye Gufan sat on the guitar box, leaning against the wall and facing the fire, and said.

"You go to sleep, I... will add firewood to you." Ouyang said.

Ye Gufan smiled and closed his eyes.

……

After a long journey, Ye Gufan really fell asleep.

Until late at night, Ye Gufan was woken up by the cold. When he opened his eyes, he found that the fire in front of him was almost extinguished, and Ouyang Chixia finally couldn't stand it anymore and was sleeping soundly on his shoulder with his head tilted to the side.

Maybe it was this snuggle that made Ouyang feel warm and safe, so she slept soundly.

Unable to bear to wake up Ouyang Chixia, Ye Gufan freed up a hand and used his long sword to pull the remaining firewood onto the fire, letting the fire light up again.

Looking outside the door, there seems to be a little light.

"Don't go, don't go!" Ouyang might have had a nightmare and was suddenly frightened. He hugged Ye Gufan's arm with both hands.

"I'm not leaving, Ouyang." Ye Gufan comforted him in a low voice and said, "Don't be afraid, I will always be here to accompany you."

Only then did Ouyang wake up. He raised his head slightly and stared at Ye Gufan's face for a long time. Suddenly he blushed and let go of his hand. He said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I... fell asleep."

"It's okay. My shoulders are very cheap. How about continuing to lean on them for a while?" Ye Gufan said with a smile.

"No, no..." Ouyang was even more embarrassed. He turned to look outside the door and asked, "Has the rain stopped? Has it dawned?"

Ye Gufan stood up, stretched, and said: "It will be bright soon, Ouyang, get up and move around, I will take you home."

Ouyang Chixia also stood up and followed Ye Gufan to the door to look at the sky.

It rains and the sky clears, and the morning star is clearly visible in the eastern sky.

　I’ll do one chapter first, and I’ll post the rest in the evening.
