Chapter 7 Where is the ghost
Ji Haoran and the other three galloped their horses from the front, galloping with lightning speed and high spirits.
Ji Chou followed behind on a donkey, shouting repeatedly, but the donkey continued to roar, which made him feel embarrassed.
Donkeys have many characteristics, such as a braying donkey and a stubborn donkey. He was riding a braying and stubborn donkey. When he saw a horse running in front of him, he chased it with all his strength. He just chased it, but he kept barking while chasing it.
Normally, the Soul-Suppressing Alliance does not recruit disciples. This time, Ji Haoran and the three of them were selected into the Soul-Suppressing Alliance. They were all very heroic and had the feeling of being successful at a young age and rising through the ranks. Unfortunately, this good feeling was quickly passed away.
The braying of the donkey was ruined, and it really ruined the scenery.
"Ji Chou, what are you doing?" Ji Haoran stopped and looked back.
"It insists on braying, what can I do?" Ji Chou smiled helplessly. Strangely enough, after catching up with the horse, the donkey stopped braying.
"You don't want to go with us anymore," Ji Haoran took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms and handed it to Ji Chou, "This is the guide to the Soul-Suppressing Alliance. You take it. We'll leave first, and you can follow later."
Ji Chou took the paper in his hand, lowered his head and looked at it, "Lu Yin gave it to me, you guys..."
Before Ji Chou could finish speaking, the round-faced young man at the side interrupted him, "We each have one share of Lu Yin, you take this."
"You leave first, where should I find you?" Ji Chou asked.
"We only travel three hundred miles a day, and we won't stray far from the path even if we sleep in the open at night." said the girl with a pair of dimples.
Ji Chou nodded. The round-faced boy was named Lin Pingsheng, and the girl was named Ji Xiao. They were both related to the Ji clan. The reason why they had foreign surnames was because they had foreign relatives.
The three of them rode their horses ahead, and Ji Chou took the donkey and walked behind. After the three of them were far away, they rode on the road.
Three hundred miles is nothing to a horse, but to a donkey it takes a lot of effort, because it is almost midnight when we set off, and it will be dark in less than two hours.
People who practice Qi can see at night, but Ji Chou's spiritual Qi cultivation is only at the early stage of foundation building, and he cannot see very clearly at night. Because Ji Haoran and the others left in a hurry and didn't explain clearly, he didn't know the three of them.
People will travel all night or sleep in the open, and they can only ride donkeys along the official road to catch up.
At the second watch, I left the official road and took a small path, heading northeast. There were still passers-by occasionally on the official road, but when I got on the small road, there were fewer people. I turned around and looked around, feeling gloomy and confused. I was not afraid, but I always felt flustered.
After walking for another hour, at the third watch, Ji Chou became more and more panicked, not because of the cries of any birds or animals, but because of the quiet and scary surroundings. At this time, he was in a plain and grassy plain, with tall reeds on both sides of the road.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so quiet. Even if there were no birds and beasts, there should be grasshoppers and grasshoppers, but there wasn't even a single insect chirping around.
After walking for several dozen miles, I vaguely noticed a faint fire in front of me. Seeing the fire, I felt a lot more at ease. The fire in the distance was probably lit by Ji Haoran and others.
I urged the donkey to walk quickly along the path, but after walking for a while, I discovered that the fire was not on the roadside, but on a mound about two miles away from the path. If I looked closely, I saw that there seemed to be a dilapidated house on the mound.
The wall has partially collapsed, and a large tree can be vaguely seen growing in the yard.
Looking from a distance, no horses were found tied near the house, but there were horse hoof prints on the grass leading to the house, which meant that someone rode to the shabby house not long ago. The reason why the horses were not seen must be
The horses were tied in the yard, or on the other side of the mound.
After a short observation, he rode on the donkey, but when he was about a hundred feet away from the mound, the donkey refused to move. No matter how hard he pushed and dragged, the donkey just stopped moving forward.
Since this place was not far from the broken house, Ji Chou shouted loudly, but after shouting, no one in the broken house responded.
Feeling panicked and to embolden himself, Ji Chou raised his voice and shouted again. This time someone finally responded. Listening carefully to the voice, it was Ji Haoran, but the voice did not come from the broken house on the hill. But the sound was very vague coming from a distance in the opposite direction, at least three miles away.
After hearing Ji Haoran's response, Ji Chou took the donkey and turned around to leave.
It only took a moment to reach the vicinity of the mound from the path, but I turned around and walked back for a long time without seeing the path. I shouted loudly, and Ji Haoran and others also responded, but their voices were muffled and I couldn't hear clearly what the three of them were shouting.
After walking for a while, the surrounding scenery changed without any warning. The broken house once again appeared ten feet away. Ji Haoran and others seemed to appear out of thin air and suddenly appeared in front of them.
The strange changes startled Ji Chou, and Ji Haoran and others were also frightened. Compared with Ji Chou, Ji Haoran and others looked even more ugly. The three of them held riding whips in their hands but did not ride horses.
"Uncle, where is your horse?" Ji Chou asked.
"Tie to the tree in the courtyard. Didn't you hear what I shouted just now? Why did you run in anyway?" Ji Haoran's face was very ugly.
"What's wrong?" Ji Chou tilted his head and looked at Ji Haoran.
"This ruined temple is very weird," Lin Pingsheng raised his hand and pointed. "There are several coffins parked inside. We lit a fire inside and settled down, but we heard strange noises coming from the coffins."
"What's the noise?" Ji Chou asked.
"It sounded like nails digging into the coffin lid," Lin Pingsheng said.
After Lin Pingsheng finished speaking, Ji Xiao added with a trembling voice, "Originally we thought we had encountered a zombie, but there was blood dripping under the coffin, so it was not a zombie."
"Let's go and take a look." Ji Chou encouraged.
"The situation is unclear, so don't be reckless." Ji Haoran stopped him.
"Uncle, we are Qi practicing monks..."
Ji Haoran waved his hands repeatedly, "It is precisely because we are monks that we cannot be reckless. If we are members of the Taoist sect, how can we be afraid of zombies and ghosts?"
"Even if we don't go into the house, we still have to bring the horses back." Ji Chou said.
"It's useless. We tried to get out of this area, but we couldn't get far away even after wandering around." Lin Pingsheng said.
"Let's go together." Ji Qiu took the lead.
Seeing that he left first, Ji Haoran and others could only follow. Although they were Qi practitioners, they had little contact with zombies and ghosts. The most important thing was that they were not old and their cultivation was not high. They all said that they were highly skilled. If a person is bold but not very talented, where does his boldness come from?
When the four of them entered the yard, the horses were still tied to the trees in the yard. They were only slightly convulsed but not injured.
In the middle of the yard is a large willow tree with drooping branches, which makes it a bit more eerie. The bonfire that the three of them had built earlier is also extinguished at this time, and the firelight flickers, making it even more eerie.
When the three of them were unloading their horses, Ji Chou tilted his head and looked at the coffins in the room. To be fair, anyone would be frightened in this kind of environment, and Ji Chou was no exception. However, after a brief hesitation, he mustered up the courage to ask Walk to the main house.
"What are you going to do?" Ji Haoran asked.
"Let's see what's inside." Ji Chou said.
Ji Haoran also wanted to know what was in the coffin, so he didn't stop him, "Be careful."
At this time, the more I hesitated, the more frightened I became, so I didn't move forward and just strode forward. When I got close to the coffin, I didn't hesitate and reached out to lift it.
When the coffin lid was lifted, Ji Chou vaguely saw the scene inside. Inside the coffin was a young woman.
