The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 193 Not So Smart
In order to appear less out of place, Elder Miao took out his pipe and Miao Yan took out some beef jerky...

Anyway, there is always something to do, and time passes quickly when there is something to do.

After Gu Qingyin finished eating the cake, she took out a thermos cup. The moment she opened the lid, the sweet smell of fruit tea rushed out.

Gu Qingyin took a sip, and her mouth was immediately filled with a sweet and sour taste. Hmm... It was a completely different enjoyment from cake.

Before he finished drinking, he heard a rustling noise.

Gu Qingyin put away the thermos and looked at the time. Only less than twenty minutes had passed, which was quite fast.

In the distance, Chen Ling and Dongfang Ran supported each other and walked slowly towards them. They had been running for such a long time without any good means of transportation, and even Tianshi couldn't bear it.

Before she could get closer, Chen Ling suddenly stopped, stared at the big tree in front of her, and said angrily: "Why are you back again! This is the fourth time!"

Dongfang Ran's expression was also very ugly, "Are you still leaving?"

Chen Ling sensed the location of the baby ghost, and a sinister look flashed in her eyes. "We won't leave. Let's stay here." She sneered, "This is the burial place chosen by God for them."

Eh? Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows. There was an unexpected surprise.

Dongfang Ran looked at her suspiciously. When they were just in the dilapidated house, Chen Ling was also so confident, but the result...it’s better not to mention it.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Ran couldn't help but feel sad. If she hadn't disrupted her master's plan, she wouldn't have ended up like this, without even anyone to pick her up.

Master wouldn't really give up on her, would he?
"What are you standing there for? Come and help." Chen Ling had already taken out the tools.

Two shovels and four one-meter-long peach wood stakes.

"Let's dig a hole first." Chen Ling measured the place with her feet and chose a spot. "Let's dig a hole here first, about half a meter deep."

Dongfang Ran resigned himself to his fate and walked over to take the shovel.

Things have come to this point, the two of them are tied together, and she can do nothing about it, so she can only rely on Chen Ling.

Chen Ling walked to a place five meters away from her, rolled up her sleeves and started digging, urging them, "Hurry up, we have to set it up before they catch up."

Dongfang Ran said nothing and rolled his eyes.

As luck would have it, Gu Qingyin was right above her.

As he was digging, Dongfang Ran's nose twitched. He suddenly paused and raised his head suspiciously, "Chen Ling, do you smell anything?"

Chen Ling dug with a shovel without raising her head. "My nose is full of the smell of soil now. If you can smell other smells, it only means that you are not digging seriously enough."

Dongfang Ran looked at the shallow pit in front of him and felt a little guilty. "Can't I use talismans to dig it out?"

"No, there can't be any extra power in the pit."

Dongfang Ran shut up and picked up the shovel again. After digging twice, she paused and sniffed subconsciously.

It wasn't an illusion, she really smelled the scent of cream!

Dongfang Ran swallowed and smelled it carefully. The creamy smell was gone, replaced by a sweet fruity aroma, sour and sweet, which made her saliva secrete even more vigorously.

In the wilderness, the smell is so strange.

Dongfang Ran looked around, and there was nothing but trees. She subconsciously raised her head...

“Dongfang Ran!”

Chen Ling yelled, and she trembled all over with fear.

Dongfang Ran turned his head and looked over, also yelling, "What are you doing!" "How dare you ask me! Look, I have finished digging a hole, what about yours?!" Chen Ling was not polite at all, "The dog paddle is faster than you!"

Dongfang Ran's face turned red with anger, but compared to the pit that others had already dug and the small pit that he had just dug less than one-third of, he felt it was unreasonable and could only hold his breath and work hard.

Gu Qingyin on the tree was already prepared to hit Dongfang Ran head-on when she raised her head, but in the end... it was unknown whether Dongfang Ran's luck was good or bad.

In short, so far, none of the four people on the tree have been exposed, and they all looked down at Chen Ling and Dongfang Ran who were busy below.

In less than ten minutes, the four pits were dug, and the two men cooperated with each other to bury the wooden stakes, burying half and leaving the other half.

After the wooden stake was buried, Chen Ling took out a ball of thick hemp rope hung with talismans, wrapped it around the wooden stake one by one, and finally tied a knot.

There were three ropes in total. After wrapping the top, middle and bottom ropes, Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, let's wait for them to come over."

Dongfang Ran looked around and asked, "What is this?"

The few people in the tree also wanted to ask, and they pricked up their ears to listen.

Gu Qingyin had a great master and had read a lot since childhood. The Miao family was also an ancient family of heavenly masters, and the Miao elders were old and knowledgeable. Liu Ergou was from Wudang Mountain, which had a history of thousands of years.

They didn't even know what Chen Ling had arranged, how could they not be curious?

Chen Ling pretended to be profound and uttered three words, "Demon Subduing Formation!"

A trace of confusion flashed across Gu Qingyin's eyes. She remembered that the Demon-Subduing Formation did not look like this. Could it be that it was not the same one?
Gu Qingyin frowned and looked at one of the talismans. The more she looked, the deeper her frown became. Then at a certain moment, she realized!
This is just a showpiece! The talisman on the rope has no power at all!

But then, Gu Qingyin couldn't help but doubt herself again, could it be because the formation hadn't been activated yet? Or was it because the talisman was too high-level and she couldn't see through it at all?
After all, Chen Ling is not a fool. She can't really take out a fake to confront them, right?

At this time, Dongfang Ran also discovered it, and her face instantly darkened, "Is this really a demon-subduing formation? Can this thing subdue demons?"

"Of course!" Chen Ling said firmly, "I spent a lot of money to buy this from a master. It's enough to save my life at a critical moment!"

Seeing how confident she was, Dongfang Ran also fell into self-doubt. Could it be that she was too inexperienced?
Not sure, check again.

She squatted in front of the rope, staring at the talisman and studying it carefully.

It's a very common demon-subduing talisman. There's nothing wrong with the drawing, but it looks very rigid, as if it was mass-printed in a factory.

"Where did you meet this master?" Dongfang Ran couldn't help but ask.

Chen Ling recalled, "I saw this in a funeral shop deep in the morning market. I fell in love with it at first sight."

Dongfang Ran’s expression became even uglier.

Chen Ling sneered, "I know what you are worried about. I was just like you at the time. I looked at it carefully and thought it was fake. I am not stupid. I must have confirmed its authenticity before buying it."

Dongfang Ran thought to himself that you are indeed not very smart, "How did you confirm it?"

"Of course I tried it with spiritual power. The talisman rope responds to spiritual power."

Hearing this, Dongfang Ran's expression became a little better. She no longer cared about the effect, as long as it was real.

Gu Qingyin was still skeptical. If it was true, she would have learned a lot today.

If it’s fake…Gu Qingyin grinned silently.

The area is just big enough to hold two graves.
