Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 156 Three people
"I have a feeling that something big is going to happen to Yuezhao."

On the way back, Mo Li whispered, "The things you saw in the Wujiang ghost world weren't the evil ghosts that wreaked havoc ten years ago. They might be very ancient and evil things."

Deep in the ghost world of Wujiang, it is dark and eerie, and no one knows how many terrifying things are hidden in the darkness behind Wuzhai Pass.

Even the legendary ancient Luo Kingdom is suspected to be inside.

If some ancient evil spirit really came out of Wuzhai Pass, Ran Qing would not be surprised.

only……

"Why did they suddenly appear?" Ran Qing frowned and thought.

Why did these ancient evil spirits suddenly appear collectively on the edge of the ghost world when they were staying well in the depths of the Wujiang ghost world?

There must have been some kind of change deep within the Wujiang ghost world that caused all this chaos...

Ran Qing frowned and thought with a serious expression.

The girl glanced at him and warned him, "Don't even think about going inside Wuzhai Pass... It was already very dangerous behind Wuzhai Pass before, and it's even more dangerous now."

The girl spoke very tactfully, fearing that Ran Qing might have a sudden whim and go to Wuzhai Pass to die.

Ran Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I won't do anything stupid that will get me killed."

"Tomorrow we'll go to Huaga Tiankeng. Finding the third copper coin is the most important thing."

For Ran Qing now, the most important thing is to collect more copper coins as quickly as possible and deal with the invisible monster first.

As for other things, unless the sky falls, even if the disaster that happened ten years ago really reappears and evil spirits enter the world, Ran Qing can only ignore it.

He just felt the pressure.

Somehow, a strong sense of unease emerged in his heart.

Some great disaster may happen in the land of Zangke.

The first to bear the brunt of this are naturally these unorthodox people who deal with evil spirits...

When Mo Li and I returned to the city, it was just after seven o'clock. We got on a crowded minibus and returned to Park Road.

In the second half of the night, when it was quiet, Ran Qing dragged out a black goat that was tied up in the house.

The black goat, which exuded a strong smell of goat, seemed to have a bad premonition and struggled to resist Ran Qing's dragging, but was finally dragged out by Ran Qing.

Under the dark night sky, strange rustling sounds were heard outside the courtyard of the cement house.

Ran Qing directly loosened the rope of the black goat and slapped its butt.

The black goat suddenly rushed into the darkness outside in panic, trying to escape.

But the next second, darkness engulfed it.

One after another, the excited mountain monkeys bit and knocked the black goat to the ground. The creepy chewing and swallowing sounds continued for a long time in the darkness.

In the end, all that was left on the cement yard was a pale skeleton, a lot of scraps of wool, and bloodstains.

This goat was the sacrifice that Ran Qing offered to the evil spirit during the Torch Festival yesterday.

The most expensive price ever paid, a whole live sheep.

Ran Qing looked at the white skeleton left there and silently cleaned up the blood and wool.

That night, the invisible monster did not return, and the mother did not appear.

The power of the Torch Festival to drive away evil spirits and demons is still in effect.

Ran Qing slept for two hours, but did not study after waking up.

For the first time in his life, he was lazy and stopped studying. He locked his test papers and textbooks in a box.

After waking up, he opened the comic book that Mo Li had given him before and began to read it with curiosity.

I originally thought it was a childish story for children, but as I watched, Ran Qing quickly became immersed in it.

He was surprised to find that this comic book was surprisingly good. After reading one page, he wanted to read the next page. Finally, after finishing the whole comic book, he was eager to read the sequel.

"Is this what it feels like when Long Zongshu is addicted to novels..."

Ran Qing was extremely unfamiliar with this strange feeling.

Normally, he would only feel this excitement and joy when he solved a difficult math problem.

But now, reading a comic book can make him look forward to it.

He got up and walked next door and knocked on Mo Li's door.

But he was not here to ask for follow-up, but to remind the girl to get ready to go out.

"The time is almost up, we are ready to go."

Today the two of them are going to Huaga Tiankeng, so they need to prepare in advance.

At this moment, the sound of a motorcycle sounded outside the door.

Ran Qing pushed the door open and walked out. Under the gray sky, Long Zongshu, who was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole, was wearing sandals and carrying a large bag. He waved to Ran Qing with a smile.

We are going to Huaga Tiankeng today, and Long Zongshu is going too.

He actually got his mother's consent and asked Teacher Jin for leave. This time he would be Ran Qing's guide and take them to Huaga Tiankeng.

"To get to the tiankeng, you have to go through a large underground cave. It's very cold inside, and there's an underground river, so you need to bring winter clothes."

"Yeah, you also need to bring water shoes, or wear sandals."

"Those large caves are very wet and full of mud. You can easily sink into them if you step in."

"You need to bring more batteries. It's very dark inside."

"I also brought some of the things my father left behind from his expeditions. These are his saber, shovel, and waterproof flashlight."

"By the way, bring chocolate. I've already prepared it."

"If you get lost underground, bring some extra chocolate to last you a few days."

"Of course, it's best not to get lost. We have ghost walkers who can help us ask for directions even if we encounter a mysterious wall."

"Uh...what's under the sinkhole? To be honest, I'm not really sure."

While helping the two pack their bags, Long Zongshu said, "But my cousin said there are a lot of poisonous insects and snakes under the tiankeng. I've brought sulfur."

"It's a pity that we can't find a Gu Master to help us. If we had a Gu Master to help us, we wouldn't have to be afraid of these poisonous insects and snakes."

Long Zongshu babbled on and on.

The usually silent and introverted tall and thin boy seemed to have opened up his mouth and became extremely talkative, completely different from his usual self.

Ran Qing subconsciously thought of Meng Laoqi, who was in Aunt Six's team ten years ago.

Meng Laoqi is a Gu Master who is proficient in refining Gu and taming animals.

Judging from the group photo, the rescue team ten years ago made up for each other's weaknesses.

There are ghost walkers who are good at dealing with dead things, Ran Jianfei who is good at refining corpses, Long Zongshu's father who is good at dealing with mountain monsters, and the Gu master Meng Laoqi who is good at refining Gu... This team configuration is simply comprehensive.

In comparison, Ran Qing's three-person team is a bit simple.

"But my cousin said the way to the tiankeng isn't particularly dangerous."

Long Zongshu said, "Someone from their village got lost and fell into a tiankeng. He starved for three days inside and was eventually found and rescued by everyone following their footprints."

"So getting into the Huaga Tiankeng isn't particularly difficult, and getting out isn't a big problem either."

"I just don't know what evil things are in there."
