When Xu Ce went up the mountain with Taoist Priest Siyan, he walked slowly because he had to drive away the corpses. It took him three days. Now Xu Ce is alone when he comes down the mountain and should be able to return to Yizhuang in two days.
At this time, Xu Ce kept the people and things on the mountain in his heart for the time being, returning to his heart. He didn't know how Ren Tingting was doing now. Did he miss him?
Xu Ce thinks that he is right to do whatever he wants. Otherwise, it would be too unfair and scumbag to treat Qingqing while looking at Qingqing and thinking about Ren Tingting in his heart.
After going down the mountain, Xu Ce's thoughts will be on Ren Tingting. After two lifetimes and getting married for the first time, Xu Ce is actually quite nervous.
While walking, Xu Ce came to a fork in the road. He stopped and started scratching his head.
"Renjia Town, go to the left. Don't go to the right..."
Xu Ce held his chin and thought for a while, and felt that it should be right.
Then, Xu Ce walked down the mountain road on the left. If he got hungry on the way, he would eat some dry food and walk slowly.
There were no accidents along the way. I just encountered a group of seven or eight bandits. Xu Ce beat them to the ground and brought some drinks and meat, which was a small improvement.
Life.
A day and a half later, Xu Ce finally saw the town appear, and the sky had already darkened. However, Xu Ce felt that something was wrong, because the scene in front of him looked different from Renjia Town.
It's impossible that he has undergone such a big change in just a few days since he left.
In order to confirm his guess, Xu Ce snapped his fingers and said calmly:
"Bring me some people!"
No response.
Xu Ce looked around in confusion and opened his Dharma Eyes. Not a familiar ghost appeared.
There was an unknown ghost who glared at Xu Ce with his teeth bared.
When Xu Ce saw this, he felt happy. He was worried that no one would answer his doubts, so it was him! Catch him and ask.
Xu Ce raised his fingers towards the ghost, without any fear at all, and said very calmly:
"You, come here!"
When the ghost saw Xu Ce pointing at him, he pointed to his nose suspiciously, as if to say, are you talking to me? No, he didn't show his ghost form. Logically speaking, he couldn't see it at all.
His is right.
Xu Ce seemed to be responding to the doubts in the astonished ghost's mind, and threatened impatiently:
"Hey, I'm talking to you, it's you! Hurry, come here, don't force me to do it, otherwise don't blame me if you lose your soul!"
"Can you see me?"
The ghost looked around to make sure there was no other person or ghost around him.
Xu Ce grinded his teeth, what the hell, he was grinding and chirping, he was not a good-tempered man, and he suddenly burst out with powerful mana fluctuations, directly pressing towards the ghost.
Immediately, the ghost began to tremble under the pressure of Qi, and the ghost's body showed signs of collapsing.
"Master Taoist, have mercy on me, Master Taoist, have mercy on me! I'm coming over right now, please have mercy on me!"
The ghost immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Xu Ce flicked his hand, and the fluctuations in mana dissipated. The ghost felt his body lightened, and the fatal feeling was gone. He took a deep breath and said:
"Taoist Priest, what do you want to ask? As long as the little one knows, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
"Well, my attitude is quite correct."
Xu Ce looked at the ghost's appearance, nodded with satisfaction, and continued calmly:
"Tell me, where is this place."
The ghost looked at Xu Ce in confusion. It's not like that. Such a powerful Taoist priest didn't even know where this place was. Recently, several powerful foreign ghosts came to the town. He thought they were here to collect ghosts, but he was unlucky.
Met it in advance.
Now it seems that is not the case.
"Taoist Master, this is Taishan Town."
The ghost said respectfully.
Taishan Town! Xu Ce was confused, what the hell kind of place is this?
etc……
Xu Ce thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the name of this town still seemed familiar to him, Taishan Town?...
Soon, a picture popped up in Xu Ce's mind. This was Uncle Ying's movie world, Mr. Ling Huan's script!
First of all, Xu Ce did not expect that Taishan Town and Renjia Town were neighboring towns.
Secondly, Xu Ce did not expect that he would appear in the next town in this way.
Moreover, it was getting dark, so my original plan to sleep on the soft Western mattress given by classmate Ah Wei tonight was ruined again.
The ghost looked at Xu Ce's twitching corners of his mouth and felt frightened. He didn't know what the super powerful Taoist priest in front of him was thinking about writing. Was he thinking of slapping him to death?
I carefully recalled what I had said, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with me. Then I felt a little calmer, but the ghost buried his head even lower, for fear of irritating the unknown Taoist priest because of his sight.
Xu Ce squinted his eyes and looked up at Taishan Town in the distance. Many houses were also lit with candles.
I looked back at the road behind me and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm going the wrong way, it's so painful!"
On that forked road, you should take the right for Renjia Town and the left for Taishan Town.
It was already getting late at this time, so Xu Ce did not turn around and walked back, looking towards the town, thinking about stopping for a while in the town before rushing on his way tomorrow.
With a decision in his mind, Xu Ce said to the ghost:
"You lead the way to the inn in the town."
"Ah! The Taoist priest is going to town?"
The ghost was very surprised.
Xu Ce raised his eyebrows and said coldly:
"Why, can't this Taoist priest stay in an inn?!"
The ghost waved his hands repeatedly and said hurriedly:
"No, no, Taoist priest, please don't misunderstand me, I don't mean that.
It’s just that Taishan Town has not been peaceful recently, at...at..."
The ghost said that he hesitated at the end, which made Xu Ce a little confused, but more importantly, he was unhappy. He hated whoever talked to Mao the most, so he couldn't finish it all at once!
"What!"
Xu Ce frowned and scolded.
"Taoist Master, please calm down. The younger one said that the town is haunted, and there are very powerful foreign ghosts. We local ghosts don't dare to go there."
Some people have been there before, but they were beaten back.”
The ghost explained.
Xu Ce was surprised when he heard about it. Of course, he was not surprised because it was haunted.
Rather, some foreign ghost was so awesome that local ghosts were afraid to go to the town. This was really awesome. Based on his experience, this was the first time he had heard of such a bizarre thing.
"Hey, are you sure you didn't deceive me?"
Xu Ce asked.
"The Taoist master has great magic power. How dare you lie to me? If you tell half a lie, you will lose your mind on the spot."
The ghost said confidently.
Xu Ce frowned and thought, and asked again:
"Is that foreign ghost you mentioned really that powerful? Even the ghosts in the entire Taishan Town ghost circle can't be defeated?"
[Author's digression]: The fifth update is done.
The book review has a lot to say about the background, so I’ll mention it here.
The setting at the beginning of this article is not the Republic of China, but the period of the Beiyang Warlords. To put it bluntly, it is the late Qing Dynasty.
