In the dark sky, black mist surged, like a piece of stinky black tofu, making people uncomfortable.
On a deserted road, a few old locust trees with crooked necks stood there arrogantly on both sides of the road, not caring at all how other people would feel when they saw them.
The yellow weeds under the trees and the black soil make this place not look like a good place. If it weren't for the fact that you can see a bus passing by, it would not be a lie to call this place a place of darkness.
The bus passed by here, breaking through the darkness and moving forward slowly. Although it didn't look fast, that's just what it looked like.
No, the green and red thing behind the bus was confused for a long time but failed to catch up with the bus.
And the posture of the bus may not be used, and even the butt of the bus cannot be seen with the green and red color.
Lin Qian looked at the slow bus with an extremely depressed expression, watching helplessly as it disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Qian, who was holding a painting of a ghost waiting for others, looked a little helpless. He didn't expect the ghost bus to run so fast. It seemed to be wandering slowly and leisurely. As a result, he chased for several minutes without catching up.
Turning around to look at the beauty's head floating beside him, Lin Qian's mouth twitched. There were two puzzle pieces of the Cunning Bride on this head.
A big red beaded hairpin and a pair of earrings are exquisitely made. They are extraordinary at first glance. Compared with other supernatural items, these two pieces look very pleasing.
After all, no one likes things that are old, rusty, and stained with blood, they look weird.
"Zhang Xianguang's craftsmanship is amazing. If I hadn't reacted quickly this time and taken away these two puzzle pieces, God knows how terrible the Cunning Bride would have become after completing these puzzle pieces."
"But even so, the bride still completed a lot of puzzle pieces, and there are too many puzzle pieces that she didn't have the chance to take away."
Thinking of the jigsaw puzzle on He Yuelian's body, Lin Qian felt a bit toothache. Well, he had to hide from the bride again. He could still run away before, but now that he is better, running has become a luxury.
Now if he is chased by the Cunning Bride, he will be left alone, without any negotiation.
Lin Qian looked at the beautiful head next to her. She didn't think it was too beautiful, but she just felt creepy. No matter what, it was just because she looked exactly like her.
With a slight sigh, Lin Qian put all the knives and umbrellas in his hands into the small black cloth bag, and also put away the hairpin and earrings on the beauty's head.
As for why he didn't put it in the ghost painting, haha, the ghost painting is in his hands. Putting it in any painting is equivalent to putting the source. This is not what he wants to see.
Before going abroad and looking for Ye Zhen, he couldn't enter the ghost painting, and he couldn't get out unless he could perfectly control the ghost painting.
He can control ghost paintings, but it will take time, but the Cunning Bride won't give him time...
Putting the things into the black cloth bag, Lin Qian stretched out his hand to grab the head with closed eyes. He exerted force in his hand, and with a click, the head exploded.
The broken skulls and flesh and blood splattered everywhere looked extremely terrifying, but these flesh and blood skulls quietly turned into ashes the moment they approached Lin Qian, without being stained at all.
In fact, Lin Qian didn't just pick off He Yuelian's head and take it away because of the bride's two puzzle pieces.
The bigger reason is because of her appearance. Lin Qian will not allow a second ghost bride to appear, even if it is a ghost slave.
This was the reason why Lin Qian took away He Yuelian's head and crushed it. It was reasonable and reasonable. Although it was a little cold, he knew what was more important.
Through this series of events, Lin Qian also basically understood the general plan of Zhang Xianguang and his group.
If nothing else, this plan is divided into three parts, and if I am not mistaken, they will be carried out at the same time.
I have to say that Zhang Xianguang's plan was pretty seamless. If the surprise hadn't been too big and he and the Cunning Bride had not been underestimated, maybe they might have succeeded.
The three parties worked at the same time. Nie Yingping's side was responsible for getting the ghost paintings and then performing a ritual to pull out the ghost paintings on his body.
Zhang Xianguang was responsible for intercepting him and causing him to lose the time to sense the ghost paintings, also to prevent him from directly following the induction to find the ghost paintings.
At the same time, they also sent people to intercept the Strange Bride. Through that quick glance, Lin Qian was basically sure who was going to intercept the Strange Bride.
Chen Qiaoyang, who is known as a living person who can only see ghosts but never see ghost shepherds in life and death, might be able to intercept the Bride of Creepy. After all, he and the Bride of Creepy can also control ghosts.
Of course this is only possible.
Looking at it now, Chen Qiaoyang failed. From the appearance of the Cunning Bride not far away from the ghost painting, it is not difficult to see that Chen Qiaoyang did not intercept the Cunning Bride. Not only did he not stop it, he also asked the Cunning Bride to complete a piece.
puzzle.
It was also from here that Zhang Xianguang and his team's plan went awry. The consequences of this big deviation forced Nie Yingping to take away the ghost paintings by force, even if the ghost paintings on Lin Qian's body were not pulled out.
The Bride cannot own the Ghost Realm. This is the consensus of everyone.
However, the moment Lin Qian walked out of the painting, Nie Yingping turned around and ran away. From that moment on, Zhang Xianguang's plan completely failed.
This was worse than a slight difference or a thousand miles off, so Nie Yingping simply gave up on competing for the ghost paintings.
Even though Guihua was already a complete body at that time, it wasn't because of anything, it was just that he couldn't beat him, so there was no big concern.
Lin Qian looked at the ghost painting in his hand, his eyes full of sarcasm. He had a good plan, but Zhang Xianguang and the others made it look like this. Not only did they complete most of the bride's puzzle pieces, but they also almost died.
They were wrong from the beginning, so wrong. Even if they had the back-up to smooth things over, there were too many surprises and the pit was too big for their back-up to make up for it. They couldn't fill the sinkhole.
Lin Qian exhaled a breath of mist and stared at the ghost painting in his hand. The bride in the painting was lifelike, beautiful, peerless and independent.
But Lin Qian only had fear in her heart, not a trace of charm, even if it was just a painting.
"What a terrifying existence."
Lin Qian whispered in a low voice and turned to look behind him. He knew that the strange bride was attracted by He Yuelian's body and would not chase him for the time being.
But this is only temporary. As long as he doesn't control the ghost painting for a day, the speed at which the Cunning Bride will find him will be extremely terrifying.
An exposed puzzle piece has a strong attraction to the bride. This attraction is no less than the bride's ability to attract ghosts, let alone being held by him.
"Gotta hurry up."
Lin Qian's eyes were a little anxious. He stretched out his hand to remove the frame of the ghost painting. This thing was of no use, and it would be useless if it was removed. It would not affect the ghost painting. He rolled up the ghost painting, and a red line appeared on the rolled up ghost painting.
Tied up and tied with a bow.
After doing all this, Lin Qian took a deep breath and took out a painting from his pocket, a blank painting.
Looking at the painting, Lin Qian's eyes flashed red, and without hesitation, he threw it into the air while the painting was still on the ground.
Lin Qian turned into a flash of green and red and hit it, ripples appeared on the painting, and the green and red disappeared into it.
On the blank painting, a line of green and red appeared instantly and then disappeared quickly, so fast that it only took the blink of an eye.
As Lin Qian entered this independent painting, the surrounding ghostland disappeared in an instant, and a blank painting fell from the air.
Before it hit the ground, it turned into ashes and drifted away in the wind.
The surroundings were quiet, and the strange crooked-necked old locust trees were moving without wind. A blood-red sedan slowly passed by without anyone carrying it. It was floating and swaying, looking a little funny.
A pair of embroidered shoes peeked out from under the swinging curtain, which looked both pretty and weird.
…………
Dachang City
In Guanjiang Community, in an old house of the Republic of China, Yang Jian stood outside a room, slightly silent. Next to him was a black man with a lump of black coal. Zhang Hao stood there quietly, without saying a word.
Looking around.
Yang Jian stared at this room made of gold, constantly guessing in his mind what exactly was being held inside and that gold was needed to make the walls.
During this period, apart from taking Zhang Hao to deal with some supernatural incidents that occurred in Dachang City, he basically spent the rest of the time looking for information about the Republic of China period.
I hope to find out more secrets and what is inside this old house.
There are three rooms here, and he has already opened the other two. Inside are a ghost mirror that can resurrect the dead, and a strange big red cupboard.
He basically knew how to use the ghost mirror. His ghost shadow was caused by the ghost mirror, and he also knew about the big red cupboard when he took the bus with Lin Qian last time.
Through the first trial, he confirmed that Lin Qian and the old woman were right. The ghost closet can indeed be traded. As long as you can pay the conditions offered by the ghost closet, he can meet the conditions you mentioned.
But it's a bit tricky. You need to pay two conditions for one transaction, which is not fun.
So after using his blood in exchange for a bowl of egg fried rice, he gave up the deal with Ghost Cabinet. After all, he heard that Lin Qian was deceived by this thing.
Now two of the three rooms were known. Yang Jian was very curious about the last one, but he was afraid of the things inside and did not dare to force it open to see what was inside.
Therefore, he would come over and take a look when he had nothing to do to make sure that nothing would go wrong here. The last time he was able to discover this place was because the ghost in the ghost mirror ran out, otherwise his discovery of this place might have been delayed for a long time.
This is just in case. Although it is a bit redundant, it is necessary, especially since he will leave Dachang City recently and go to Dajing City for some training.
It may take a long time to go there, and no one is watching in Dachang City. If something unexpected happens, it won't be good.
So in order to go to Dajing City safely, he made sure that some hidden dangers would not arise, even for a short period of time.
Looking at this room, Yang Jian rubbed his chin, the look in his eyes was very cold.
"Zhang Hao, did you find any useful information there?"
"No, there is basically only so much information during the Republic of China, let alone about the supernatural genre. If there is any, it's not that there is none. These things are mentioned in some folklore and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio .”
"But it has nothing to do with this room. He didn't even mention the ghost mirror that the boss mentioned."
"The only thing mentioned is the myths and legends about the Wutong God and the Mirror God, but there is no mention of the ghost closet, let alone other things."
Zhang Hao shook his head and said with an indifferent expression.
Hearing these words, Yang Jian nodded and was not surprised. He had also read these books, and there was very little information about the Republic of China period.
Even among the old people who survived the Republic of China, he had only met two. One was Mr. Fang from the tailor shop, and the other was the old woman on the bus, the old man whom Lin Qian had promised to collect and bury her body.
Apart from that, he had never seen or heard anything about it.
The Republic of China seems to be a mysterious era, and everything seems to be here. The source of evil ghosts and strange supernatural objects seem to have appeared since the Republic of China.
It was truly an era shrouded in fog, and Yang Jian knew very little about this era.
Yang Jian stared at the wall expressionlessly, remained silent for a while, then turned and walked downstairs.
"Let's go. We are going to Dajing City in one month. You should also prepare yourself. You can handle the training in Dajing City. However, the forces in Dajing City are a bit out of control. We may have been suppressed in the past. You You have to be mentally prepared.”
Hearing Yang Jian's words, Zhang Hao nodded and silently followed Yang Jian's footsteps. After this period of busy work, he has grown a lot.
At least I have a deep understanding of evil ghosts and ghost masters, and I know what I should do to survive.
Sometimes, after an ordinary person experiences several supernatural events, he will know what to do, and he will do it naturally without being taught.
Between life and death, there is great terror.
Therefore, he was in awe of Lin Qianda who asked him to become a ghost controller, and he obeyed Yang Jian even more, for no other reason than to survive, nothing more.
Yang Jian walked in front. He was very satisfied and reassured about Zhang Hao. It was hard not to feel reassured by Zhang Hao, who had been hinted at and tampered with by Lin Qian and his memory.
The stairs were not big, but it was not difficult for two people to walk. Yang Jian, who was going down the stairs, suddenly frowned and took out a gold box from his pocket.
Looking at the constantly shaking gold box, Yang Jian was a little confused, what happened?
He knew very well what was inside. It was a painting given to him by Lin Qian. It was usually used to pretend to be ghosts. Other than that, it was just to call Lin Qian.
The golden box is shaking now. Could it be that the ghost in the painting is about to escape?
Yang Jian was a little unsure. After much hesitation, he opened the box. It was not that he was arrogant, but that he was sure that even if the ghost in the painting really ran out, it would not pose any danger to him.
The evil ghosts that he can put into the paintings are all relatively low in terror and there is nothing to be wary of. Even if he doesn't take action, Zhang Hao alone can deal with them.
So he opened the box, but the moment he opened the box, a pale hand poked out of the box. Yang Jian's eyes shrank instantly, and a scarlet ghost eye emerged from his forehead, tearing flesh and blood, and he died. Staring at the hand stretched out from the box.
Zhang Hao's body was immediately filled with coldness, and he was ready to take action at any time.
But then, Yang Jian and Zhang Hao silently relaxed their vigilance and looked at the young man who came out of the box with a strange expression.
Lin Qian frowned, looked at the painting placed in the box, then looked at Yang Jian, and asked with some confusion:
"Why are you locking the painting in the gold box when you have nothing to do? Are you so busy?"
