He chased along the riverside road to the outskirts and came to a fork in the road in front of a mountain. Old Qiu Tou could no longer sense the talisman bird he had released with his secret technique. No matter whether the talisman bird was destroyed by evil spirits or was destroyed by nearby evil spirits,
The filthy atmosphere was covered up, and Old Qiu Tou immediately sat up straight and prepared himself. The main show was finally coming, and he, an elderly man, was also a little excited. Getting rid of ghosts was not important, but being able to get rid of ghosts with Tan Xuan was.
What makes him happy most is that he will have bragging rights when drinking with others in the future.
Tan Xuan bit his lip, with the same uncontrollable excitement on his face. He had been working hard all night, and now he finally saw the light of day. As long as this nest of ghosts was eliminated, Jiang Yingyue would be safe.
"Old Qiu Tou, it's up to you, help me find the place." Tan Xuan said with excitement.
"Well, don't worry."
Old Qiu Tou agreed, opened the door and got out of the car under Xiao Di's puzzled gaze.
Lao Qiu Tou walked to the car, took off his sunglasses and looked at the fork in front of the car through the car's high beam. There was a gentle road going along the river, and the road was wide. There was also a road that was slightly narrower and steeper.
I was running towards the mountains. It was dark at this time and I couldn't see clearly what the specific road conditions were. The parking location was very far away. There were no passing vehicles nearby. I didn't know how long the two roads were, both leading to the mountain.
where.
Old Qiu Tou walked a few steps forward along each road, picked up the soil on the roadside and smelled it, then looked at the phosphorescent river surface under the moonlight and the hillside covered with numbers, and then quickly
Stepped back to the car.
After sitting back in the car, Old Qiu Tou didn't say anything. He picked up the talisman paper that he had been pressing on the bottom of the compass, then took out a gray beard from his chin and placed it on the talisman paper. Then he twisted his fingers and the talisman paper
It burned directly on his fingertips.
"ah!"
Xiao Di was so frightened that she screamed. She was not surprised by what Old Qiu Tou did, but she didn't understand why Old Qiu Tou was playing with an open fire in such a small confined space. Was he so angry that he wanted to self-immolate? This is not possible.
It was no joke. The smell of burning paper and burning hair suddenly filled the car. She choked and hurriedly covered her nose and pressed the switch on the window.
"Don't open the window."
As soon as Xiao Di's fingers touched the lift switch of the car window, he was stopped by Tan Xuan's cold words.
"Don't move, he is using secret skills, and opening the window will affect him."
Seeing Tan Xuan's serious eyes, Xiao Di did not dare to continue. She quietly retracted her hand and looked back again. At the same time, she secretly decided in her heart that if the fire could not be controlled, she would push the car door as fast as possible.
Jump out of the car. Whether this secret technique will be successful or not is not yet known. The key is to ensure your own safety first.
Old Qiu Tou didn't seem to be aware of the conversation between the two of them. He just stared at the inactive flame in his hand. After the fire completely engulfed the talisman, he picked up the compass and turned the burning talisman.
It was placed on the compass, and it landed very accurately at the intersection of the two red latitude and longitude lines.
"ah!"
Xiao Di quickly covered her mouth when she was about to exclaim. She knew this was what Old Qiu Tou was doing, but this method was a bit too unique and she always felt unsafe. Especially the two red lines on the compass were
The fire was igniting and there were signs of burning. She looked at Tan Xuan and quietly put her hand on the door handle. She was not driving now, so jumping out of the car was the safest option.
Unfortunately, before Xiao Di could make a complete move of pushing the door and jumping out of the car, the light in the car dimmed and the fire on the compass went out in an instant. Only one section of the two red lines was blackened, and there was no real trace of it.
was set on fire.
Xiao Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly retracted her hand. She glanced at Tan Xuan with a guilty conscience. Regardless of whether the smell in the car was unpleasant, she secretly breathed hard and took practical actions.
It proves that she is also sharing the joys and sorrows with them.
Lao Qiu picked up the compass and carefully observed the disk through the light of the reading light in the car. His eyes, one black and one gray, shone with a strange light. After looking at it for a while, he took the Luban ruler and carefully measured the longitude and latitude lines.
The length that had been burnt by the fire was still being measured with fingers and muttering in a low voice.
Xiao Di pushed Tan Xuan, signaled with his eyes, and asked quietly: "He..."
Some words may cause dissatisfaction. Xiao Di hesitated for a while and was too embarrassed to ask.
"He is using his own method to calculate the position, so you don't need to worry about him. Just wait, this is a difficult job." Tan Xuan knew what Xiao Di was going to ask, so he answered her simply. After saying that, Tan Xuan calculated
He opened the door and got out of the car, stood beside the car, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Seeing Xiao Di sitting in the car and not moving, still twisting his neck to see Lao Qiu Tou flexing his fingers to calculate the direction, Tan Xuan couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, I almost pushed the door open and ran away just now, why are you still sitting here now?"
Are you still in the car? Why, you want to help me get rid of all the cigarette smell in the car?"
"Do you care?" Unexpectedly, none of his little moves escaped Tan Xuan's eyes. Xiao Di made a fierce expression with Tan Xuan in dissatisfaction, and secretly cursed Tan Xuan in his heart that he was born in the year of the dog. He said tough words and pretended
Zuo didn't care at all, but Xiao Di still got out of the car very quickly, pretending to stretch and stretch out her stiff body. But she didn't go to Tan Xuan, and stood alone on the other side of the car, secretly
She stared intently at Tan Xuan, who was fascinated by the water. Gradually, like the person in her eyes, she became fascinated.
Tan Xuan did not look at Xiao Di, nor did he notice the change in her gaze. He just lit a cigarette and stood beside the car in a daze for a while, until the ash fell to the ground and the cigarette was burned to the butt. He felt the burnt tip and threw the cigarette butt away.
I haven't seen him take a good sip yet.
"Pfft..." Xiao Di laughed out loud, cursed "You deserve it" in a low voice, and then turned his head to the side before Tan Xuan turned his head. The mountain under the moonlight was very dark, like a monster that had been lurking.
, it looks a little scary.
"Mr. Tan, Mr. Tan, I figured it out..."
Old Qiu Tou got out of the car and ran to Tan Xuan, holding a compass in one hand and a Luban ruler in the other, with a smile on his face and an excited expression.
Tan Xuan was overjoyed immediately after hearing this. He put his hands on Lao Qiu's shoulders and asked happily: "So fast, where are you?"
"It's five kilometers ahead. I'll point it to you."
"Okay, let's get in the car first."
Tan Xuan was quick and resolute in his work. Now that he knew the location, he couldn't wait any longer. He sat back in the car and wished he could rush to the evil spirit's lair right away. Tan Xuan was fast, and there was someone faster than him.
When he got into the car, Xiao Di was already one step ahead of him and had fastened his seat belts. Only the elderly man, Old Qiu Tou, was slower and lost some time.
"Mr. Tan, take the road on the left, it's going this way." After getting in the car, Old Qiu Tou began to direct. Tan Xuan stepped on the accelerator and the car jumped out. There were no street lights on this road.
There were no cameras to capture illegal traffic, and Tan Xuan ran all the way without any concern about speeding.
"parking!"
After passing several intersections quickly, Lao Qiutou suddenly stopped Tan Xuan at a place with no intersection.
Lao Qiu Tou took a look at the compass, opened the door and got out of the car, checked the direction with the compass again, pointed to the hillside on the roadside and said: "Here, it is going this way."
"let's go."
Tan Xuan pushed open the door and got out of the car, threw the car on the side of the road, stepped over the drainage ditch on the side of the road, and followed Lao Qiutou up the hillside.
"Wait for me." Xiao Di hurriedly got out of the car and followed. He ran a few steps before catching up with Tan Xuan. He looked at Tan Xuan's back and was very angry. Unfortunately, Tan Xuan didn't look back at her at all. Looking from the hillside
It’s not very high, but it’s not the same when you climb up, especially the soothing section past the front foot. Old Qiu Tou is obviously a good climber. He was clumsy just now, and now he is walking as fast as flying, as if he is home. It seems that this
The relatively steep hillside is as flat as flat ground. Tan Xuan also has flexible hands and feet and can walk easily. Only Xiao Di is the most pitiful. The body she trained in the gym on weekdays is obvious in front of this purely natural "equipment"
She was a little uncomfortable. The first few steps were quite easy, but as she went up, she found that her steps became heavier. Although there were no shrubs blocking the road on this hillside, there were only some weeds, but there were no weeds.
Low, the ground covered by weeds is uneven, one foot is deep and the other is shallow, making it very difficult to walk, and some grass is very slippery when lying on the ground. If you are not careful, a dog will eat its poop.
Fortunately, the slope was not too high. Xiao Di finally climbed up with Tan Xuan's help using his hands and feet. But when he reached the top of the slope, Xiao Di was dumbfounded again. He saw Old Qiu Tou fiddle with the compass and then go downhill in another direction.
Well, we really climbed one slope, and then another, and the side facing the sun was covered with grass and shrubs. It was more difficult to walk than before. Moreover, Lao Qiutou, who was walking in front, did not stop at all.
It was hard for Xiao Di to wait for their intention, and it was even more hard for Tan Xuan who was supporting Xiao Di. What is a burden? It was tired and heavy. Xiao Di wished he could lie completely on Tan Xuan's body.
Old Qiu Tou finally stopped walking and stopped in a mountain col. He said to Tan Xuan with a puzzled look on his face: "Mr. Tan, I can only deduce that the Talisman bird disappeared near here, but the surrounding area is unremarkable.
There is no place where the evil atmosphere is strong."
Tan Xuan stood on a high place and looked around. The moonlight was not very bright, but it was enough for him to see the surrounding situation clearly. There were mountains on both sides, and the nearby ditches were really unremarkable. Even though he was good at observing auras,
Nothing unusual was found here.
"Are you sure that the last breath of your Talisman Bird appeared near here?" Tan Xuan asked with a frown.
"I'm sure." Lao Qiu nodded and said firmly: "I can guarantee that the place where Fu Bird was when he was little is not more than 20 meters away from where I am standing now."
Tan Xuan returned to Lao Qiutou, turned around again and looked around, and said: "Since we are nearby, there must be something fishy here. Let's split up and look for it first."
"Yes." Lao Qiu nodded, lifted up the Luban ruler in his hand and used it as a walking stick. He pushed aside the weeds to see if there was any special place nearby. In the mountain col, there were as many stones as grass. He couldn't hide where he wanted to see.
What I found can only be found bit by bit.
"Xiao Di, follow me." Tan Xuan and Xiao Di greeted. I don't know where the evil spirit will come from. It should be okay for Lao Qiu Tou to self-destruct. Tan Xuan is most worried about Xiao Di's safety now.
"Oh." Xiao Di, who was sitting on a big stone and rubbing his feet, agreed. He put on his shoes and stood up. After a while, he jumped down from the stone.
"ah!"
Xiao Di let out a scream after landing. The weeds on the ground were very slippery with dew. She lost her footing and almost stumbled. Fortunately, she held on to a stone next to her, which prevented her from falling too badly.
.But when she was about to stand up with her hands on the stone, her feet felt weak again.
"Wow..."
With the sound of falling soil, a hole diagonally downward suddenly appeared on the small slope at Xiao Di's feet. Then Xiao Di's body fell and slid directly from the hole, giving him no chance to dodge.
"ah……"
In panic, Xiao Di only left a scream and then disappeared.
"Xiao Di!"
Hearing the cry, Tan Xuan wanted to go. It was already too late for Xiao Di. He watched Xiao Di being swallowed up by the hole in front of him. Tan Xuan didn't have time to stop, so he rushed to the hole and jumped in.
