"Team Li, most of them have already formed a team to go to the back door, but there are still a few people left in the temple. They probably don't want to take the risk of going to the back of the temple to check the situation." Jiang Hao walked in from outside the temple and reported.
road.
"Um."
Li Leping didn't say anything more, but nodded slightly to show that he understood.
He seemed to have already anticipated the choice of those Southeast Asian ghost masters, and was not surprised by this.
Looking at Li Leping, who was just looking at the various tributes on the altar, Jiang Hao asked: "The reason why you asked those ghost masters to go to the bamboo forest to investigate is to conduct a screening?"
"Yes." Li Leping picked up a tray on the altar and admitted while observing.
After looking at it for a moment, Li Leping, who couldn't see anything special about the tray, put it back and said at the same time: "If I need to do everything myself, then what are they doing here?"
"Since I haven't had time to figure out the situation in the main hall at the moment, I just leave the rest to the ghost controllers to investigate. They are not required to figure out the meaning of the existence of the bamboo forest, but only need to confirm what is there roughly.
In any case, it’s enough to know what’s inside.”
"I gave them two paths, one is to follow my instructions and go to the unknown bamboo forest, the other is to refuse my request and choose to stay in the temple."
"Actually, I want to use this method to filter out some idiots who are ignorant of current affairs. In the next seven days, it will be too embarrassing for only you and me to hold this ceremony, but it is not
It means I will take care of everyone."
"What I need is people who won't ask why at critical moments, rather than a group of guys who only care about their own interests. Since those captains are not capable of bringing everyone together, then I will help them bring everyone together.
As for those guys who can’t clearly see the situation, it’s better to die early to avoid getting into trouble.”
"Indeed, when there are many people, there will definitely be some idiots among them." Jiang Hao agreed.
When most people face life and death dilemmas, they often force themselves to become rational, so much so that they are willing to join forces with their former enemies just to survive from the clutches of evil spirits.
Regarding Li Leping's request, Jiang Hao believed that if it were him, he would definitely choose the former, that is, choose to take the risk to investigate in the bamboo forest behind the temple.
Because if you think about it carefully, you can actually find that this request made by Li Leping seems to have hidden dangers, but in fact, there is a high probability that there will be no danger.
It is only the first day of the Dharma Conference now, and everything will basically be in an abnormally stable state.
As long as no one has the brains to open the front door of the temple and take a look at the situation outside, then there is a high probability that danger will not break out in the rest of the temple at this time.
Of course, this analysis is not absolute.
After all, no one dares to make guarantees about supernatural events or to be too confident.
However, even if you really encounter danger when investigating the bamboo forest, in Jiang Hao's opinion, with the existing number of people, unless you really encounter an unsolvable evil ghost, all the dozen or so people will not be killed.
Although many ghost controllers are now somewhat depleted due to the use of supernatural powers, the number has not decreased too much. Although one unlucky guy died in the process of blocking the door, there are no undead in supernatural events, like the previous ones.
In such a scene where evil spirits come to visit, it is lucky that only one person dies.
If a ghost really breaks in, how many of the twenty-odd ghost masters in the temple can come out?
For those ghost masters who form a team to go to the bamboo forest, as long as they successfully walk out of the bamboo forest alive, it is equivalent to handing in a letter of loyalty.
With this certificate of surrender, it means that you may be able to get help from the captain of the headquarters in the next few days, which will greatly increase your probability of survival.
As for those who chose to stay in the monastery and refused to obey Li Leping's orders?
Then let them do whatever they want.
As long as they didn't cause any trouble, Li Leping would naturally let them hang out in the temple.
As for when we encounter danger in the next few days?
You didn't move when I asked you to work before, but now you want someone to help you when the ghost comes?
Why?
the other side.
When Li Leping was trying to study the tributes on the altar.
The back entrance of the temple.
Other ghost masters gathered here, there were quite a few of them, there were twelve ghost masters.
In other words, excluding the unlucky guy who died first while blocking the door, more than half of the remaining nineteen ghost masters have chosen to accept Li Leping's request.
It seems that the four words "captain of the headquarters" are indeed very valuable in their hearts, so high that just one sentence is enough to make most people willing to go through fire and water for it, just so that they can get a bite of it when there is meat to eat in the end.
Soup.
You know, Li Leping only gave them a verbal promise after talking for a long time.
If in the next seven days, when danger really comes, Li Leping suddenly goes back on his word and chooses to survive alone, others will have no regret medicine to take even if they regret it.
But no one can do anything about it, because the three words "survive" are too tempting. When danger is so close, who can say no to the opportunity to improve their hope of survival?
Everyone can only hope that the headquarters captain is a man of his word and will not let them work in vain.
soon.
With heavy hearts, everyone pushed open the back door of the temple with tense faces.
Outside the door, a path leads straight to the bamboo forest.
This road is the same as the previous road leading to the temple. It is a road formed by people walking too much. The weeds on the road have long been stepped into the mud, and gradually merged with the black soil as they rotted.
.
Look ahead along the path.
The bamboo forest under the moonlight was extremely dim, showing only densely packed and blurry outlines, which looked particularly strange.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Follow me."
Looking at this road with no end in sight and only a pitch-black road, the ghost master at the front of the team couldn't help but tighten his expression and gritted his teeth.
Soon, he made up his mind and headed towards the endless bamboo forest.
Some of the others followed immediately, while others chose to follow the large army after hesitating for a while.
gradually.
This improvised investigation team of twelve ghost masters went deep into this unknown bamboo forest.
After walking in, I found that these bamboos seemed to be showing signs of death. The leaves were yellow and dry, and the stems were withered. The whole bamboo looked wilted and without any breath of life.
This kind of bamboo is not thick, but relatively slender, but it is planted relatively densely. It stands one by one on both sides of the road, like a towering wall, exuding a cold atmosphere, suffocating everyone in the middle of the road.
He was so depressed that his breathing became heavy.
Looking around, you can only see darkness in the gaps between bamboos. The misty darkness not only blocks the line of sight, but also blocks the light in everyone's hands, making it impossible to see what is going on in the depths of the bamboo forest.
, making the bamboo forest filled with a very uncomfortable cold feeling.
Fortunately, just as Li Leping guessed, danger has not yet broken out in the bamboo forest.
The ghost riders on these roads followed the path and walked safely for some distance.
"who!"
But at this moment, the few ghost masters walking at the front suddenly stopped and their faces suddenly became nervous. They were already on tenterhooks and even exuded a cold aura at this time, which was likely to be used.
Signs of supernatural attacks launched by evil ghost forces.
However, at this moment, a vague figure suddenly appeared in everyone's sight and was slowly approaching.
This immediately aroused everyone's vigilance.
It's really no wonder that they are sensitive, but this place is too quiet. Although I walked for a long time without encountering any danger, in the end, there were only signs of people like them here.
People in the temple can only go to the bamboo forest through this road, so this guy who came to the bamboo forest in advance and was bumped into by them now, can he still be a human?
"Don't be impulsive, we are one of our own!"
What people didn't expect was that the other party actually responded, and he still spoke in Thai.
"What?"
"Um?"
Everyone stared in astonishment at the figure who stopped in the darkness.
Could it be that he is really alive?
And he’s the same ghost master who just entered the temple with everyone?
But the question is, how did this guy get in front of everyone?
Doubts, questions, speculations.
For a while, although the other party responded, no one dared to step forward to confirm.
If the other party says that he is a human being, does he really mean that he is a human being?
No one dares to gamble with his own life.
If you walk past and discover that the figure is not a human at all, but a ghost, you will probably die instantly as soon as you encounter him.
None of the people present had ever encountered a ghost that could speak human words.
Because most of the people I met were dead.
"You said you are from our side, what evidence do you have?"
Suddenly, the leader of the Ghost Controller team from Thailand called out and asked.
Vaguely, he felt that the other party's voice seemed familiar, but the scene at the moment was too depressing, and there were people discussing in low voices from time to time, so he didn't hear the other party's voice clearly just now.
"It's me!"
The figure opposite seemed to recognize the captain's voice and responded immediately, eager to prove that he was truly human.
"It seems like it's really him." A ghost master who also came from Thailand and Xiang Kingdom whispered to his captain at this time.
"It's him."
The captain of Thailand and Elephant Kingdom nodded slightly.
The sound made by the man in front was exactly the same as that of a ghost master in his team.
But the problem is that the previous ghost controller resolutely refused the proposal to go to the bamboo forest and chose to stay in the temple with several other ghost controllers.
But now, this guy has run ahead of everyone again.
This is too incredible.
"Be careful, anything can happen here." A ghost controller beside him warned with a vigilant expression.
"I know, but we can't stay in this stalemate forever," said the captain of Thailand.
There's someone blocking the road ahead, so I can't pass.
But if we just retreat like this at this time, let alone how to deal with the captain of the headquarters, just now the dozen ghost masters are forced to retreat by something who doesn't know whether it is a human or a ghost. From the beginning to the end, even
If no one dares to test it, it would be ridiculous.
"Since you said you are human, why don't you come over?" The Thai captain asked again after thinking for a moment.
"I'm afraid you'll do something to me!" The other party's answer was also very reasonable.
After all, those at the front had the words "I'm going to kill you" written on their faces.
If you really continue to get closer, I'm afraid you will be killed by your own people in a daze.
"what to do?"
The captain of Thai Xiang Kingdom looked at the others.
He knew that he had to confirm other people's thoughts at this time, otherwise even if he agreed to let the ghost master from Taixiang Kingdom approach, the other ghost masters would probably not agree.
At that time, he will definitely be killed by his own people just as the ghost controller in front feared.
"Let's first ask how he got in front of us." A team leader from another country said.
"I agree." Another captain agreed.
"Okay, then let me ask."
The captain of Thailand and Xiang Kingdom asked again: "Tell us how you ran in front of us."
"I touched the bamboo in the temple before, and ended up here all at once."
The answer given by the ghost controller surprised everyone.
"bamboo?"
Everyone immediately recalled the bamboo planted on the left side of the temple.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! That bamboo was planted alone in the temple. There is only one bamboo, and I don’t know what its significance is.
But now, the role of bamboo seems to be revealed.
"Is it possible that that bamboo can be connected to this bamboo forest?"
A team leader made this surprising conjecture.
But this conjecture is actually the voice of the public.
"Let him come over and tell him not to move, otherwise we will kill him." Another captain suggested after hesitating thinking.
"good."
Seeing that no one else raised any objections, the captain of Thailand and Xiangguo quickly shouted: "Then come here now and don't make any unnecessary moves. We promise not to do anything to you."
"Okay, I'll come over now. Don't lie to me."
After saying that, the ghost controller walked over cautiously.
Soon, the man appeared in the light of the flashlight.
The man in his sight had a sallow complexion and was as thin as a skin and bones, with a faint rotting air of death floating around his body.
However, looking at the frightened expression on this man's face, it doesn't look like it could be made by a ghost.
"It's him." After confirming that the man looked the same, the captain of the Thai Kingdom said.
"Tell him not to come any closer. We still can't confirm this guy's identity now. Let's just let him lead the way." The team leader from Myanmar suggested.
"Can."
"I think it will work."
Several others expressed their agreement.
Although the captains of these ghost controller teams are not very good at managing teams, they are ghost controllers who have controlled two ghosts after all, and they can control a certain amount of voice based on their strength alone.
Under normal circumstances, no one dares to veto their proposals.
Especially the current proposal is in the best interest of most people.
