Monk Xuanji didn't adapt to the old cat's humor. On the contrary, he felt a little angry.
Although I am not afraid of a conflict with him, now is not the time. What this old monk said is not heinous. It is also impossible for me to fight with an old man who is over 60 years old because of a disagreement. In short, it is better to retreat now.
The most sensible.
At Monk Xuanji's surprise, we returned to the Xiali car. Old Cat stepped on the accelerator, started the car, and turned around to leave.
The dust was flying in the light of the car lights on the small road late at night, and the buildings here made me feel like I was back in the 1990s.
"Lin Yang, what Monk Xuanji just meant is that he wants to expel Xiaofeng from your body?" Dahuang asked in a low voice, with some expectations in his words.
I nodded and said, "That's what happened. He did say that."
Dahuang continued: "Didn't you always say that you can't let Xiaofeng keep silently devoting yourself to your body? Why not just let Monk Xuanji help you?"
I shook my head and said, "You only heard the first half of the sentence. Didn't you hear what the monk said that once Xiaofeng is expelled, she will be expelled immediately and let her be reincarnated?"
Dahuang nodded and said: "I heard it, but this may not be a bad thing for Xiaofeng... Maybe she, like Xu Xueyan, is already tired of being a ghost?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know this, but Xiaofeng may not really be willing to be a ghost. If she still wants to be a ghost, wouldn't I be harming her?"
Dahuang groaned and then fell silent.
Lao Mao suddenly interrupted and asked: "Lin Yang, where do you think they have gone?"
"In the ditch?" I asked.
The old cat shook his head and said: "It doesn't really look like it, but in this direction, I always feel that we should go..."
"The ancestral graves of the Bai family?!" Before the old cat finished speaking, I had completely understood what the old cat meant. I only thought of this direction leading to Fushou Ridge and the location of the Xu family, but I didn't expect that I could just continue driving in this direction.
Go down, that's where the Bai family's ancestral tomb is.
Although the routes we took were different, all roads lead to Rome, and if they continued driving like this, they would indeed arrive at the Bai family ancestral tomb.
Last time we tried to rely on Bai Lanshan to lure out the killer in apricot robes, but he assassinated Haoran in various directions. This time, Bai Lanshan's ancestral home has basically started construction, which is the best time for them to destroy it.
Thinking of this, I quickly looked at the time and asked, "Old Cat, if we drive to the Bai family's ancestral grave before dawn, will it be too late?"
The old cat nodded and said: "It's definitely enough to drive there in one night, but the oil in this car may not be enough..."
As he said this, he looked at the dial, but there was not much gas left. I thought about it and said, "I saw a gas station when I came here just now, why don't I go get some more?"
The old cat nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
With that said, we drove to the gas station first.
The person on duty at the gas station was a young man in his early twenties. He looked about the same age as me, probably a little younger. He pointed at the oil gun and said, "Help yourself, help yourself."
I hurried over and just opened the oil cap of Xiali when I suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood coming out of the oil tank.
I immediately realized something was wrong, and my keen intuition told me that the bloody smell definitely didn't come out of thin air.
I boldly went to the fuel tank mouth and smelled it again. The smell in the fuel tank was so strong that it was almost like a pig-killing scene.
"Old Cat, come here and take a look!" I said quickly.
Without saying a word, the old cat got out of the car, wrinkled his nose and smelled it, then looked at the fuel tank and said, "Damn it, this car isn't burning oil, it's blood!"
"Holy shit!" I was startled and said quickly: "Can this thing burn? Human blood or animal blood?"
The old cat shook his head and said: "How do I know? I have to ask your old classmate. Forget it, we can't do anything about the car with added health, let's go first."
I nodded and had no choice but to get in the car.
Phone calls are not allowed near the gas station, so I waited until we were far away before I dialed Lao Xie's number.
"Lin Yang? What, is my old buddy easy to drive?" Lao Xie asked quickly.
"What a bullshit. It's just a little steel donkey. What, let me ask you, what does your car burn? Isn't it gasoline?" I didn't hesitate and asked directly.
When Lao Xie heard this, he immediately laughed sinisterly. The laughter was very terrifying. He laughed for a while and whispered: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that this car is indeed not burning gasoline. Alas,
In fact, if you have nothing to do, don’t look at the gas tank... This is not very polite..."
"Lao Xie, is this blood from humans or animals?" My expression changed and I asked sharply.
Lao Xie started to laugh again, and his voice was still so ugly. He laughed and said: "Don't worry about it. Anyway, just go ahead and laugh. This blood is not from you, so why do you care so much?"
Since Lao Xie said this, a chill immediately rose in my heart. It was obvious that if it was the blood of an animal, then Lao Xie couldn't have gone around in such a big circle without saying anything.
I couldn't help but think of what Monk Xuanji said before. He said that humans and ghosts are actually like wolves and sheep. They can never be friends. Even if they are in harmony with each other, it is just a temporary illusion.
Is it true that, as he said, it is impossible for humans and ghosts to be friends?
I get goosebumps all over when I think that what is burning in my car is human blood, and I don't know which innocent victims this blood belongs to.
But I understand that now is not the time to dwell on these issues. Even if these issues cannot be ignored, they cannot be clarified now.
I quickly put away all the messy thoughts in my mind, and then asked directly: "Lao Xie, I just want to ask you something. Today we are going to drive to Mentougou. Is there enough fuel in this car?"
?”
Lao Xie smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's enough, it's enough, it's enough for you to run back and forth. But why are you going to the ditch? Are you going to Bai's house?"
I said, "You have nothing to do with this."
Lao Xie chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, I don't care, you are busy with your business, but remember, don't approach this car after dawn. It's best to park it where there is no one, you know?"
I quickly said: "Don't worry, I will remember this, and I will return this car to you when we come back."
Lao Xie on the other side of the phone laughed again and said, "It doesn't matter. Just tell me the location and I can drive by myself. Anyway, I walk at night and I'm fast."
I quickly hung up the phone, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
The old cat glanced at me, knowing what I was thinking, and asked: "What? Is it really human blood?"
I nodded and smoked one of Laomao's cigarettes.
The old cat smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, there are some things we can't do anything about. In today's society, people harm others, let alone ghosts."
I nodded and said, "You're right."
After that, I called Bai Lanshan again. Bai Lanshan said that she was living in her ancestral house now. That coward Gao Ming didn’t dare to be alone with her at night, so he lived in a guest house in the town. I asked Bai Lanshan to move the guest house
The address was sent to me and I navigated directly there.
It was already early in the morning when we arrived, but thanks to the fact that it wasn't getting up too early, we really made it in time.
Old Mao walked around the town and couldn't find any place with few people, so he drove the car into the mountains and stopped on a branch road next to a mountain road, guessing that there were not many people here.
After that, we left the old Xiali and walked towards the guest house where Gao Ming was staying.
I called Gao Ming on the way. Gao Ming, who was woken up by me, was very excited when he learned that we were coming, as if he had seen a savior. However, I knew that our arrival would not only bring no relief to
Gao Ming brought him safety, but he was afraid that it would drag him into another whirlpool.
The guest house where Gao Ming lives is in the town. It is a three-story white building. The first floor is a hospital, and the second and third floors are guest houses.
After we entered, Gao Ming was wearing pajamas and sitting on the bed waiting for us. I saw a few bottles of Niuer beside the bed. It seemed that this guy was still an alcoholic...
