Chapter 440 The old man guarding the forest

The burial is complete, the red coffin has been buried in the soil, and a new tombstone has been erected, which seems to indicate that the glory of the ghost master of the Republic of China is about to end.

Five tombs and five monuments buried an unknown past.

Perhaps many years ago, these five people got together. After experiencing countless horrific supernatural events, they grew to the pinnacle of the era and finally quelled the supernatural phenomena of that era.

But no matter how powerful the ghost master is, he cannot escape the fate of death. Even if he survives for hundreds of years, he will eventually be buried in the loess.

After finishing burying the coffin, Li Leping planned to find a place to leave.

He didn't want to stay in this unknown place. After all, this was a place where many top ghost masters were buried. No one knew how long the stability of this place could be maintained.

But just when he and Gu Li were planning to leave the cemetery and return to the old house to search for a way to leave.

An old man blocked their way.

The old man was wearing a black tunic suit and black cloth shoes. The black clothes seemed to blend into the darkness behind him, revealing only an old, thin face full of wrinkles and age spots.

The old man's body exuded a gloomy and decaying aura, as if his life was running out and he would not live long.

But even so, his body was still so upright, with his hands behind his back, just standing on the path made of yellow mud. His whole person revealed a kind of majesty that made people feel heart palpitating, as if no matter how weird and supernatural, no matter how dangerous the ghost was,

There was no way to make any big waves in front of him.

The moment Li Leping and Gu Li turned around, they suddenly realized that there was such a strange old man behind them.

now.

The two of them looked at the old face at the same time. After seeing the slightly narrowed eyes with little human emotion, their eyes became extremely solemn.

"This old man is very fierce."

For a moment, such an idea inexplicably flashed through Li Leping's mind.

He couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with the old lady 301.

"Since it is an exploration, there will naturally be someone responsible for providing a stable environment, and this position can only be filled by the strongest person."

This is the old woman's evaluation of a certain ghost controller, and the evaluation is very high, because to be called the strongest ghost controller by a top ghost controller must mean that this person's control over the supernatural has reached an extremely exaggerated level.

degree.

After the supernatural collision of an era, the strongest existence will definitely be born.

A person who cannot be affected by supernatural beings and can resist all supernatural beings at the same time.

But now, Li Leping seemed to feel this feeling in this old man.

This is an unprecedented weird feeling.

He could see the existence of the old man in front of him, but the supernatural power in his body gave no warning, as if the old man did not exist in front of him.

This is not to say that the old man in front of him is just an ordinary person, on the contrary, it shows that the degree of terror of this old man has completely exceeded all the ghost masters Li Leping has come into contact with.

Neither the sleepwalking ghost nor the forgotten ghost seemed to be able to touch the old man, so there was an illusion that the old man did not exist in front of him, as if there was a more terrifying supernatural being wandering around the old man.

, so that any supernatural beings close to the old man will be erased.

At this moment, Li Leping felt an invisible uneasiness and pressure. Even Mr. Qin or the old woman living in 301 could not give him such an indescribable gap.

However, the two of them did not dare to make any move at all, and only dared to stare at the old man who was already in danger before he even made a move.

The old man's numb eyes moved slightly. After taking a brief look at the two people standing in front of him, he bypassed the two living people and turned his attention to the tombstone behind them.

"well."

Suddenly, after a brief silence, the old man glanced at the portraits on the tombstones. When he saw the newly built tomb, he actually let out a sigh.

This sigh seemed to be full of helplessness and lamentation, as if lamenting that the former companions were constantly withering away, and all their efforts and efforts had now turned into dust.

Even though the supernatural events of the previous era were suppressed, in this era, the supernatural events are still out of control again.

"what to do?"

At this time, Gu Li, who was covered in cold sweat, leaned over to Li Leping's side and lowered his voice to the extreme, revealing a kind of fear in his trembling voice.

He also felt an unprecedented terror in this old man's body. This was not a simple sense of oppression, but a feeling that seemed to be the most simple.

The old man seems ordinary on the surface and does not pose any danger, but in fact the danger hidden in him is enough for any supernatural being to avoid him.

When Li Leping heard Gu Li's question, he didn't respond. His originally numb eyes became solemn at this moment, and he didn't dare to leave the old man's figure for even a moment.

After all, no one knows whether this old man is an enemy or a friend, and what state he is in.

"Um?"

It was at this moment that Gu Li behind him let out a surprised sound.

Li Leping, who was already very nervous, suddenly thought something had happened. He quickly turned his head, only to find that Gu Li was repeatedly touching his clothes, turning them inside out, as if he was looking for something.

"Where is I, Guizhu?"

The next moment, he raised his head, his face full of confusion and shock.

But soon, he realized what was going on.

"Zhou Deng...what the hell..."

Gu Li's face turned ugly and he cursed in a low voice.

You don't need to think about it to know that such a big golden box cannot just disappear.

There is a 90% chance that Zhou Deng took it away.

"Yes, this era has produced a number of good young people."

At this time, an old voice sounded, and the old man finally walked over slowly after sighing.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His eyes returned to the two living people in front of him. After taking a brief look, he seemed to see their level, and he said

They expressed their praise.

But Li Leping obviously would not be proud of the old man's praise at this time. The vigilance in his eyes did not diminish at all, and he was still staring at the old man in front of him.

But judging from the fact that the old man can speak, this old man should still be able to communicate.

In this case, Li Leping also knew that he could no longer pretend to be dumb at this time.

He must say something.

"My name is Li Leping, the captain of the headquarters, which is the official agency that handles supernatural events, and the person in charge of Dachuan City. I came here today to fulfill an old woman's last wish and bury her coffin here, but I didn't expect that,

There are actually other people here."

Li Leping took a step forward, indicating his identity and purpose of coming, while also tentatively asking for information about the old man.

"Headquarters, Captain, it's pretty good."

Hearing these two words, the old man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that could barely be regarded as amiable, and sighed: "This era is much better than ours, at least when it comes to dealing with supernatural events, it is finally better."

With a unified official organization, fewer people will die than before. After all, in our era we have to face not only supernatural beings, but also war and chaos."

Unexpectedly, this old man seems to be much easier to communicate with than Li Leping imagined. At least judging from the current situation, this old man should not do anything to them.

Maybe this old man was also an unruly ghost master when he was young. He was one of those ghost masters with a big temper, arrogance and madness.

But as the years go by, when they reach the peak of an era and can no longer progress, their mentality has changed to some extent, not to mention that most of the older generation of ghost controllers are not walking like Li

On unusual roads like Leping, the emotions of living people are preserved, so when they get older, they show the kindness that belongs to the elderly.

"Since you are the one who sent her on her last journey, let's get it done."

The old man came to Li Leping and handed over a black and white photo of his body with his skinny palm.

The person in the photo is a woman with two braids. She looks relatively young. She is dressed very plainly, but her appearance is not bad. She has a faint smile on her face, giving people a warm and lively feeling.

Li Leping looked at the photo, looked back at the wordless tombstone, and said with some uncertainty: "So, is this the old woman?"

The old man also looked at the wordless tombstone and said with emotion: "Her name is Meng Xiaodong. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for sending her here to be buried."

Li Leping's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything more about it. Instead, he took the photo and quickly came to the wordless tombstone, where he began to affix the portrait and carve the old woman's name on it.

The old man still stood there without moving, and next to him was Gu Li, who looked like he didn't know what to do.

"Haha, uncle, have you eaten yet?"

Gu Li, who really couldn't stand this weird and embarrassing atmosphere, forced out a smile and said something polite.

Standing next to such a living ghost master from the Republic of China period, I felt uncomfortable.

This old man seemed to be not only the most advanced ghost controller, because when he stood next to Gu Li, Gu Li felt that the ghosts in his body seemed to be completely silent, with no signs of recovery, just like the ghosts in his body.

All the supernatural beings fell into a deep sleep.

Just standing next to the old man can already feel this terrible sense of oppression. It is hard to imagine that if they really take action, can the two of them survive even half of the attack?

Seemingly seeing the fear in Gu Li's eyes, the old man did not reply, but just looked at him with a smile.

But this smile that was supposed to show friendship and kindness made him feel numb in Gu Li's eyes.

The old man's face was too old. When he smiled like this, the wrinkles on his skin were pulled along with his face, which didn't have much flesh to begin with, making it look a bit scary.

Suddenly, Gu Li could only smile flatteringly, then withdrew his gaze, pretending to see what was going on with Li Leping.

It didn't take long.

Li Leping finished the final finishing work and came back.

"I have met several ghost controllers during the Republic of China, and the old woman named Meng Xiaodong once mentioned to me when she was explaining her funeral that there was a powerful ghost controller who would provide a stable place for the continuation of this era.

Given the circumstances, it seems now that that person should be you?"

Li Leping's eyes moved slightly, looking at the old man in front of him who seemed to be motionless, but always showed a sense of oppression.

However, this lifeless old man shook his head: "Such a statement is a bit exaggerated. I am not as powerful as you said. Maybe the previous era belonged to us, but time is not forgiving, no matter how top-notch people are.

We will be devoured by terrible supernatural beings, we will continue to wither, and in the end we will have to rely on people of your generation to hand in an answer."

The old man continued: "In fact, each of us has our own things to do. I just happened to be needed by this era so I stayed in this supernatural place, built the ancient house here, and waited for one day in the future."

"One day in the future?" Li Leping was very concerned about what the old man said.

"Since it's something in the future, if I tell you now, how do you think things will develop?"

As expected, the old man did not reveal too much about the matter, but instead asked Li Leping a question.

"So you people of the older generation have already considered many things, even the future is in your plans?"

Li Leping narrowed his eyes slightly and smelled a hint of secret in the old man's words.

In the past, he could only rely on clues to guess whether these top ghost masters of the older generation could predict the future and plan for it.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But guessing is just guessing after all.

Only when the old man in front of him says the word "future" himself can the guess be regarded as fact.

Although these older generation of ghost masters have apparently disappeared in this era, it does not mean that they have completely ignored this era.

On the contrary, they still influence the development of this era in some aspects, and because they have some incredible means of predicting the future, their intervention is just right, but most people don't know what they are doing.

.

"So you people are never willing to reveal more information, because if you say too much, things may not develop as predicted in the future?" Li Leping asked.

"right."

The old man nodded and admitted, and at the same time added: "So if you plan to ask me some questions, then I may not even answer you."

A secret that is revealed is no longer a secret.

In one sentence, Li Leping's plan was basically blocked.

"Including the woman named Chen Mengyao, you can't tell me any news about her?" Li Leping stared at the old man and said.

The old lady in 301 seemed to know something about the first driver of the Forgotten Ghost, but the old lady didn't reveal much.

And now, the old man in front of him, who looked like he was about to be buried, seemed to refuse to answer any of Li Leping's questions.

"Chen Mengyao?"

A slight smile appeared on the old man's old face again: "She has disappeared for a long time. I think it won't be a problem to reveal a little about her."

"Then let's talk about it."

Li Leping's eyes flickered. Although he didn't understand why the old man suddenly relaxed again, he obviously would not let go of such an opportunity.
