"I also know there is nothing else here, but it was indeed nearby both times!" Qu Changyong pouted.
"Laoqu, you won't be dizzy after drinking too much, right?" Zhou Kai looked at him suspiciously.
"Dizzy! Why are you dizzy after drinking too much! Are you kidding me?" Qu Changyong said displeased.
"To the west?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"Yes! Some were fast and some were slow, and they were all walking towards the west. But I didn't see any high-level ghosts. They were all ordinary lonely ghosts, almost all without morals." Qu Changyong recalled.
"Are they all lonely ghosts with no morals?" Zhang Xiaosheng was stunned.
"That's right...all of them, none of them are virtuous!" Qu Changyong nodded affirmatively.
"This is strange...why." Yu Xiaolong said to himself.
"What's so weird about some ghosts walking around? I'm not afraid of ghosts, why are you still afraid? Even if it's like what you said, thousands of ghosts walking at night, what's the matter?" Zhou Kai waved his hand.
"A hundred ghosts walk at night." Xie Tianyun corrected.
"It doesn't matter how many ghosts it is, it's nothing else. Maybe they are migrating like those animals!" Zhou Kai curled his lips.
"No, ghosts don't migrate." Yu Xiaolong directly denied it.
"Or... was summoned by something?" Pan Fengtan interjected.
"Summoning?" Yu Xiaolong looked at him doubtfully.
"Oh, when I was in Myanmar, I saw a wizard summoning ghosts and summoning everyone within a hundred kilometers around to gather strength for himself." Pan Fengtan said.
"Is there such a thing? I can only summon ghosts within a few kilometers of the surrounding area, and it also depends on whether the other party is willing. If you encounter a powerful one, you won't pay attention at all, and ordinary ones may not be willing." Yu Xiaolong smiled bitterly.
"But all I saw was... how should I put it, as if there was no spirit, like a walking zombie without any thoughts, running in one direction, so I felt strange." Qu Changyong recalled the scene.
"There is no other breath?" Liu Mingqiang asked.
"No!" Qu Changyong nodded affirmatively.
"Forget it, forget it, what are we doing with ghosts? Are you free?" Zhou Kai was very impatient.
"Little fat brother, you can't say that. All unusual visions may represent the same thing." Qu Changyong said seriously.
"Boss Qu is right, I agree." Liu Mingqiang nodded.
"Yes, yes, what you said is right. What should we do now? Ghosts don't come out in broad daylight. Do they have to come at night?"

A trip?" Zhou Kai sat down on the ground.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on him and they nodded in unison.
The forest looked very mysterious in the dead of night, with a tree standing there motionless like a ghost.
Behind the dense branches and leaves, a pair of eyes looked outside.
There were also a few pairs of eyes on several nearby trees. They blocked their breath and showed no sign of anyone.
As time passed by, the woods remained eerily silent.
"Pfft~"
The sound of a fart was particularly harsh, causing all eyes to look over there.
"Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm just laughing." Zhou Kai, who was close to him, smiled shamelessly.
Everyone looked over there speechlessly and shook their heads gently.
"Shh." Yu Xiaolong sent the signal.
I saw a few ghosts walking slowly in the distance, stumbling step by step. Several phantoms emerged from the ground and joined the walking team.
Yu Xiaolong was quietly lurking in the tree, frowning slightly as he watched.
What Qu Changyong said was true. Although there were not dozens, there were less than ten ghosts just like what he said. They seemed to be possessed by evil spirits and slowly walked towards the west.
When they reached the edge of the grove, they suddenly disappeared one by one.
Everyone continued to squat in the tree, and after a while, two ghosts passed by. It was not until the east gradually became brighter that the ghosts that passed by from time to time stopped appearing.
Yu Xiaolong jumped down from the tree, blinked and thought, and couldn't figure out why.
"Brother Yu, what does this mean?" Wan Yanfeng asked.
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen it." Yu Xiaolong shook his head.
"You are just overthinking. Maybe those ghosts just want to change places?" Zhou Kai waved his hands in disapproval.
"No, they are all running in the same direction, and it looks... looks like." Yu Xiaolong struggled to find the right words.
"It's like a puppet." Liu Mingqiang said.
"Yes! Ghosts don't do that, at least not all ghosts do." Yu Xiaolong nodded affirmatively.
"Then what happened?" Ying Kongxiu asked.
"I still feel that they are responding to a certain call." Pan Fengtan said.
"Summoning? What summons?" Xie Tianyun asked doubtfully.
Yu Xiaolong remained silent, thinking hard.

The man then went to Qu Changyong's shop and told him what had happened.
"Really! To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a scene in my half-life, so I asked you." Qu Changyong said.
"Well, I haven't seen it either." Yu Xiaolong scratched his head.
"If, as Mr. Pan said, those ghosts went away in response to a certain summons, then who were they? What was their purpose?" Wan Yanfeng looked at Yu Xiaolong.
Yu Xiaolong shook his head, and everyone was thinking about it.
"Oh, why don't you just ask an expert?" Zhou Kai sneered.
"Expert?" Zhang Xiaosheng was stunned.
"Yeah, look where there are experts in Yihe City, or ask Liu Dong, aren't they officials?" Zhou Kai waved his hand.
"Hmm... That's fine. If you're an expert... I'll think about it." Yu Xiaolong thought hard.
"There is an eminent monk at the Reclining Buddha Temple in Yingnan County. You can ask him," Liu Mingqiang said.
"Do you know him? The abbot there passed away a few years ago. The current abbot is Abbot Wuwei. He rarely sees outsiders." Yu Xiaolong's eyes lit up.
"My master is Abbot Shiyun, I guess he will give me face." Liu Mingqiang said with a smile.
Everyone left as soon as they could, and took a car driven by Xie Tianyun directly to the temple in the Reclining Buddha Temple Park in Yingnan County.
After entering the gate, everyone walked in slowly.
This temple has a history of more than a thousand years. During the Ming Dynasty, Japan and Korea sent monks to study Dharma many times. After modern construction, the temple already has a mountain gate, a bell and drum tower, a main hall, a reclining Buddha hall, and an east-west hall.
The side hall and the seven-level relic pagoda are important places for religious ceremonies.
It was getting dark and there was no one else in the temple.
"Dear donors, it's already getting late. Please come back tomorrow." A young monk came with a smile.
"Master, we are here to find Abbot Wuwei." Yu Xiaolong said.
"Abbot Wuwei has gone to bed. Everyone, please come back, Amitabha." Xiao Xiang said with his hands clasped together.
"Little master, I am a disciple of Abbot Shiyun of Mount Emei. I came here specifically to ask Abbot Qingyun for advice today." Liu Mingqiang clasped his hands together.
The young monk trembled slightly and looked Liu Mingqiang up and down, thinking suspiciously.
Liu Mingqiang took out a string of Buddhist beads from his body and said, "Little master, please give this to Abbot Wuwei."
The young monk took it, looked at it carefully, hesitated and said, "Donors, wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and left with the beads. Zhou Kai looked at them and said, "Qiangzi, what's going on with that beads?"
